Borrowings bear interest at either a base rate (highest of federal funds+0.5%, CIBC prime, or Term SOFR+1%) plus a margin of 0.75%–1.75% for base rate loans, or Term SOFR plus 1.5%–2.5% for SOFR loans, with the margin tied to the Borrower’s First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. Obligations are guaranteed by the company and material domestic subsidiaries and secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets, subject to customary exceptions. The agreement includes customary covenants and requires maintaining a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio ≤4.75x and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ≥1.20x at each fiscal quarter end.

Positive
  • $600 million Term Loan and $300 million Revolving Facility provide significant liquidity
  • New facilities refinanced and terminated the prior credit agreement, simplifying capital structure
  • Extended maturity to September 10, 2030 reduces near-term refinancing risk
  • Interest margin tied to leverage incentivizes deleveraging and can lower borrowing costs if ratios improve
Negative
  • Facilities are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets, restricting asset flexibility
  • Covenant requiring First Lien Net Leverage ≤ 4.75x and Fixed Charge Coverage ≥ 1.20x may constrain distributions and transactions
  • Borrowings include variable interest tied to Term SOFR and margins up to 2.5%, exposing interest expense to rate movements

Insights

TL;DR: Accel refinanced its debt with a large secured facility, extending maturity and providing liquidity while imposing leverage and coverage covenants.

The company established $900 million of aggregate capacity, replacing prior indebtedness and extending lender commitments to 2030. Interest margins vary with leverage, aligning cost of capital to balance-sheet risk. The facilities provide working capital flexibility via a $300 million revolver and modest LC/swingline sublimits, which supports near-term liquidity. Guarantees and first-priority liens indicate typical secured credit terms for leveraged financings. Investors should note covenant thresholds: a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio cap of 4.75x and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio floor of 1.20x, which will govern future financing and distribution capacity.

TL;DR: The secured structure and covenant levels create measurable credit constraints despite extended maturity.

The credit package’s secured, first-lien collateral and cross-guaranty structure strengthen lender recoverability but restrict corporate flexibility. Covenant tests tied to First Lien Net Leverage and Fixed Charge Coverage could limit dividends, acquisitions, or additional indebtedness if ratios tighten. Interest margin step-downs tied to leverage provide a runway for lower costs only if leverage improves. The facilities contain customary default remedies that could accelerate obligations if covenants are breached.
