Second Lien Loan — In April 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Second Lien Loan”) with a lender for a second-lien loan facility with an initial principal balance of $5,000. The Second Lien Loan bore interest at the greater of (a) 12%, and (b) a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 5.75%, not to exceed 15%. Interest was payable until April 30, 2022, and thereafter, the outstanding principal was payable in twelve equal installments through the facility maturity date of May 1, 2023. The Second Lien Loan was secured by substantially all assets of the Company, including capital stock of all subsidiaries, except for capital stock and assets in certain excluded subsidiaries, as defined, including Invest in America Credit Fund 1 LLC (“IIA”) and all of the related SPVs, ROAR 1 SPV Finance LLC and ROAR 2 SPV Finance LLC. Under the terms of the Second Lien Loan the Company was subject to certain covenants, as defined. The Company used the Second Lien Loan proceeds for general corporate purposes. On August 27, 2021, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement that refinanced the Second Lien Loan and increased principal borrowings up to an aggregate principal amount of $25,000, and with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC replacing MLi Subdebt Facility 1 LLC as collateral agent and administrative agent for the lenders. The other material terms of the loan remained the same. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company repaid the original $5,000 principal balance owed to MLi Subdebt Facility 1 LLC, together with accrued interest and fees. In March 2022, this principal was rolled into the Monroe Term Loans (as defined herein).

First Lien Loan In July 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“First Lien Loan”) with a bank for a $25.0 million first-lien loan facility consisting of a $20.0 million revolving credit line and $5.0 million term loan. The revolving line bore interest at the greater of (i) Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 2.25% and (ii) 6.50%, and had a maturity date of May 1, 2022. The term loan bore interest at the greater of (i) Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 3.25% and (ii) 7.50%. Interest only on the term loan was payable until September 1, 2021, and thereafter outstanding principal was payable in thirty-nine equal installments through the facility maturity date of May 1, 2024. The First Lien Loan was secured on a first-priority basis by all assets of the Company, including capital stock of all subsidiaries, except for capital stock and assets in certain excluded subsidiaries, as defined, including IIA and all of the related SPVs, ROAR 1 SPV Finance LLC and ROAR 2 SPV Finance LLC. Under the terms of the First Lien Loan, the Company was subject to certain covenants, as defined. The Company used the First Lien Loan proceeds to repay certain outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

 

Monroe Term Loans—In March 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Original Monroe Credit Agreement” and as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2023, and Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2023 (“Amendment No. 2”), the “Monroe Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders (the “Lenders”), and Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC, as administrative agent and lead arranger (“Monroe Capital”). The Original Monroe Credit Agreement provided for the following:

$70,000 aggregate principal amount of term loans (the “Term A-1 Loans”), available to be drawn at the closing date;
$20,000 aggregate principal amount of term loans (the “Term A-2 Loans”), as described further below;
$20,000 aggregate principal amount of delayed draw term loans (the “Term B Loans”), which were available to be drawn for a period of 18-months following the closing date, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Monroe Credit Agreement; and
subject to certain conditions set forth in the Monroe Credit Agreement, the ability to incur incremental commitments of up to $60,000 aggregate principal amount of Term A-1 Loans or Term B Loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”; the Term A-1 Loans, the Term A-2 Loans, the Term B Loans and, if applicable, the Incremental Term Loans, collectively, the “Monroe Term Loans”).

 

In connection with the foregoing, at the closing of the Original Monroe Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed Term A-1 Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $70.0 million. Proceeds of the Term A-1 Loans were used (a) to repay in full the approximately $24.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the First Lien Loan, including accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, (b) to pay transaction-related fees and expenses and (c) for general corporate purposes and working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries. With respect to the Term A-2 Loans, pursuant to the Monroe Credit Agreement, the lenders thereunder were deemed to have rolled over their $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding under the Second Lien Loan in the same aggregate principal amount as their respective commitments with respect to the Term A-2 Loans, following which all obligations in respect of the Second Lien Loan were deemed to be satisfied and paid in full.

On April 28, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 with the Lenders and Monroe Capital in order to extend the maturity date of the Term A-2 Loans and proactively manage the Company's interest expense through the remainder of 2023. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, the Company, the Lenders and Monroe Capital agreed that the Company would: (i) pay $5.0 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Term A-2 Loans on May 1, 2023, $10.0 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Term A-2 loans on July 15, 2023 and the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Term A-2 Loans in full on October 15, 2023, and (ii) prepay $5.0 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Term A-1 Loans on October 15, 2023, with the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Term A-1 Loans continuing to be due on the original maturity date of March 24, 2026. In addition, the Term B Loans were no longer available to be drawn as of the effective date of Amendment No. 2. The Company was, prior to the entry into Amendment No. 2, in compliance with all of its covenants under the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 2 was accounted for as a debt modification. Costs associated with Amendment No. 2 were not material.

 

The Term A-1 Loans and Term B Loans bear annual interest, payable monthly, at a floating rate measured by reference to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate then in effect (equal to the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate, (iii) 2.00% and (iv) an adjusted one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 6.00% to 8.25% per annum, depending on whether the “EBITDA Trigger Date” has occurred, the Company’s “Enterprise Value” and, once the EBITDA Trigger Date has occurred, its “Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio” (as such terms are defined in the Monroe Credit Agreement) or (b) an adjusted one-month or three-month SOFR (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 7.00% to 9.25% per annum, depending on whether the EBITDA Trigger Date has occurred, the Company’s Enterprise Value and, once the EBITDA Trigger Date has occurred, its Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio. The interest rate as of December 31, 2023 on the Term A-1 Loans was 14.64%. The Term A-2 Loans bore annual interest, payable monthly, at the greater of (i) 12% and (ii) a floating rate measured by reference to the prime rate plus 5.75% per annum, subject to a cap of 15%. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, the Term A-2 Loans, which originally matured on May 1, 2023, was repaid in full during the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The Term A-1 Loans and the Term B Loans mature on March 24, 2026. The Monroe Term Loans may be prepaid at the Company’s option at any time, in minimum principal amounts, and are subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds upon the occurrence of certain asset dispositions and equity and debt offerings, 100% of certain extraordinary cash receipts and 0-50% of certain excess cash flow, in each case as specified in the Monroe Credit Agreement and subject to certain reinvestment rights as set forth in the Monroe Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including any prepayment of any Monroe Term Loans for any reason (subject to limited exceptions), the Company is required to pay a premium ranging from 0.00% to 3.00% of the principal amount of such prepayment depending on the Monroe Term Loans repaid and the date of the prepayment, plus, in the case of any Monroe Term Loans other than Term A-2 Loans and in the event the prepayment occurs within 12 months after the closing date, all interest that would have otherwise been payable on the amount of the principal prepayment from the date of prepayment to and including the date that is 12 months after the closing date.

 

The Monroe Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to minimum adjusted revenue, EBITDA, liquidity and unrestricted cash (all as defined in the Monroe Credit Agreement). The negative covenants, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the “Loan Parties” (as defined in the Monroe Credit Agreement) and their subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; incur additional liens; make dividends, distributions and other restricted payments; merge, consolidate, sell, transfer, dispose of, convey or lease assets or equity interests; purchase or otherwise acquire assets or equity interests; modify organizational documents; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; enter into restrictive agreements; engage in other business activities; and make investments.

 

The obligations under the Monroe Credit Agreement are guaranteed by MoneyLion Inc., as parent, and each of its direct and indirect existing and future wholly-owned subsidiary, other than SPVs, certain foreign subsidiaries, certain regulated subsidiaries and certain other excluded subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The Monroe Credit Agreement is entered into by MoneyLion Technologies Inc. The Monroe Credit Agreement is secured with a perfected, first-priority security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of MoneyLion Technologies Inc. and each Guarantor, subject to certain customary exceptions.

 

The settlement of the First Lien Loan was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and the Second Lien Loan was accounted for as a debt modification resulting in total expense recognized of $730 comprised of settlement fees and the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
