On December 17, 2021, Regional Management Corp. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Seventh Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), among the Company and its subsidiaries named as borrowers therein (collectively with the Company, the “Revolving Borrowers”), the financial institutions named as lenders therein (the “Revolving Lenders”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent (the “Revolving Agent”). The Fourth Amendment amends the Seventh Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 20, 2019 (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Revolving Borrowers, the Revolving Lenders, and the Revolving Agent. The Loan Agreement was previously filed with the SEC by the Company on September 20, 2019 as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K.
The Fourth Amendment amends the Loan Agreement to, among other things, (i) remove Bank of America, N.A. as a lender and reduce the commitments under the credit facility to $500 million, (ii) provide for a borrowing base of up to 83% of eligible receivables, subject to adjustment at certain credit quality levels (rather than adjusting the percentage of inclusion in the borrowing base based on receivable type), (iii) set the applicable margin at 3.00% (removing the prior 0.25% increase based on availability percentage), (iv) revise the eligibility criteria for contract receivables, (v) lower the LIBOR floor from 1.00% to 0.50%, (vi) extend the maturity of the facility to September 20, 2024, (vii) increase certain basket amounts, (viii) set the unused line fee at 0.50% per annum (rather than a variable fee based on credit facility exposure), (ix) remove the aggregate dollar cap on the warehouse facilities the Company is permitted to enter into, (x) simplify the Company’s reporting requirements under the Loan Agreement, and (xi) make certain other clarifying and conforming changes, including but not limited to, addressing definitional changes relating to that certain fourth amended and restated intercreditor agreement, dated as of December 17, 2021 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) and that certain third amended and restated security agreement, dated as of December 17, 2021 (the “Intercreditor Security Agreement”).
