On August 2, 2021, BlueLinx Holdings Inc., amended its existing revolving credit facility by entering into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) or guarantors thereunder, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (“Agent”), and certain other financial institutions party thereto (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility from October 10, 2022, to August 2, 2026, (ii) amend the Borrowing Base (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) to include a certain portion of the assets of acquired companies prior to the conduct of a field exam or appraisals thereof by the Agent, (iii) modify certain definitions and various affirmative and negative covenants in the Credit Agreement to provide additional flexibility for the Company, and (iv) add customary LIBOR replacement language. In addition, as amended, the Credit Agreement provides for interest on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, with the amount of such margin determined based upon the average of the Borrowers’ excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter as calculated by the Agent, for loans based on LIBOR, or (ii) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, with the amount of such margin determined based upon the average of the Borrowers’ excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter as calculated by the Agent, for loans based on the base rate. All such margins have decreased by 0.50% to the upper limit of each respective margin tier.
