(a)As of September 30, 2021, the Company had drawn $65,412 on the $100,000 revolving commitment that was available under the credit agreement, as amended, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with a maturity date of May 3, 2024. The Company pays interest monthly on any borrowings on the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the rate was 1.6250% and 2.0625%, respectively.

On July 1, 2021, the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (each, a “Loan Party” and, collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to that certain Credit Agreement, dated May 3, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated May 28, 2019 and Amendment No. 2 dated November 12, 2020, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 3 increased the aggregate amount of the term loan facility thereunder to $125,000 and increased the maximum amount of the revolving loan facility thereunder to $100,000. The Credit Agreement continues to permit the Loan Parties, subject to certain requirements, to arrange with lenders for an aggregate of up to $50,000 of additional revolving and/or term loan commitments (both of which are currently uncommitted), for potential aggregate revolving and term loan commitments under the Credit Agreement of up to $275,000.

Amendment No. 3 provides for additional subsidiaries of the Company to guarantee and provide collateral for the loans under the Credit Agreement, including certain of its newly formed or newly acquired Australian subsidiaries in connection with the Rhino-Rack Acquisition. Amendment No. 3 also removed the previously agreed upon ability of the Company to issue debt securities that may be convertible into equity interests of the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000 and also increased the maximum consolidated total leverage ratio permitted under the Credit Agreement to 4.25:1.00. Amendment No. 3 did not change the maturity date which remains May 3, 2024.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by 100% of our domestic, and 65% of our foreign, subsidiary equity interests, as well as accounts receivable, inventory, intellectual property and certain other assets owned by the Company. The Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions or other restricted payments if certain conditions in the Credit Agreement are not fulfilled. The Credit Agreement also includes other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants relating to the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with the debt covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2021.

(b)Foreign subsidiaries of the Company have a revolving credit facility and term debt with financial institutions which mature between October 16, 2021 and July 27, 2024. The foreign subsidiaries pay interest monthly on any borrowings on the credit facilities as well as monthly payments on the term debt. As of September 30, 2021, the interest rates ranged between 1.3387% and 5.1651% and as of December 31, 2020 was 1.3387%. The credit facilities are secured by certain assets of the foreign subsidiaries.

(c)Under the Credit Agreement, the Company had access to a term loan facility that was available for drawdown until May 3, 2020.  On April 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $20,000 under such term loan facility. On July 1, 2021, under Amendment No. 3, the aggregate amount of the term loan facility was increased to $125,000 and the term loan was fully borrowed at the closing of Amendment No. 3. The Company is required to repay the term loan through quarterly payments of $1,563 each beginning with September 30, 2021, increasing to $3,125 each beginning with September 30, 2022, and any remaining obligations will be repaid in full on the maturity date of the Credit Agreement of May 3, 2024. The Company pays interest monthly on any borrowings on the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the rate was 1.6250% and 2.0625%, respectively. As part of the Rhino-Rack Acquisition, the Company assumed certain current and long-term debt of approximately $2,252 which was settled during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
