Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Powerfleet, Inc. amended and restated its credit agreement with FirstRand Bank (RMB), extending the Term A loan’s final maturity by 12 months to March 31, 2028 and updating interest terms and covenants.

The RMB Term Facilities total $85 million, split between two $42.5 million term loans. Term A will carry a fixed rate set at each utilization until March 31, 2027, then switch to a variable rate equal to SOFR plus 4.85% (if no event of default) thereafter. Term B continues at fixed rates set via rate-fixing letters. Financial covenants now step down: consolidated net borrowings to EBITDA must be below 4.25 at March 31 and June 30, 2025; 4.00 at September 30, 2025; 3.50 at December 31, 2025; 3.00 at March 31, 2026; 2.75 from June 30, 2026 through March 30, 2027; and 2.50 thereafter. EBITDA to finance costs must exceed 3.00 from September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2026, and 3.50 thereafter.

Insights

Maturity extended; rate mechanics clarified; tighter covenants phased in.

Powerfleet aligned both RMB facilities under updated terms. Term A’s maturity moves to March 31, 2028. Interest is fixed until March 31, 2027, then floats at SOFR plus 4.85% if no default. Term B remains fixed via rate-fixing letters.

Covenants phase tighter over time: leverage (net borrowings/EBITDA) steps from 4.25 in early 2025 to 2.50 thereafter; interest coverage (EBITDA/finance costs) must exceed 3.00 through September 29, 2026 and 3.50 thereafter. The structure formalizes discipline without an immediate capital raise.

Key watchpoints are compliance at each stated date and any shift in borrowing costs when Term A transitions to floating after March 31, 2027. Actual impact depends on operating EBITDA and benchmark SOFR levels.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on March 7, 2024, Powerfleet, Inc. (the “Company”), together with certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a Facilities Agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) with FirstRand Bank Limited (acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division) (“RMB”), pursuant to which RMB agreed to provide the Company with two term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $85 million, composed of two facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $42.5 million and $42.5 million, respectively (the “Term A Facility” and “Term B Facility,” respectively, and, collectively, the “RMB Term Facilities”).

 

On October 31, 2025, the Company, together with certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Obligors”), entered into a First Amendment and Restatement Agreement, dated October 31, 2025 (the “Amendment”), with RMB in order to amend and restate the Facilities Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”), pursuant to which the Obligors and RMB agreed to, among other things, (i) extend the final maturity date of the Term A Facility by 12 months, (ii) update the interest rates of the RMB Term Facilities, and (iii) update certain financial covenants to conform to the Company’s other debt facility with RMB, each as further described below.

 

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement, the Term A Facility will now mature on March 31, 2028.

 

Borrowings under the Term A Facility will now bear interest (i) at the applicable fixed rate per annum, which will be set forth in a rate fixing letter entered into between the Company and RMB in connection with each utilization of the Term A Facility, until March 31, 2027 and (ii) thereafter, at a variable rate per annum equal to (x) 4.85% (provided no event of default is continuing) plus (y) the applicable term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) reference rate (or, if unavailable, an interpolated, historic or interpolated historic SOFR rate, or, if none of the foregoing are available, the 3-month Treasury bill rate). Borrowings under the Term B Facility will continue to bear interest at the applicable fixed rate per annum, which will be set forth in a rate fixing letter entered into between the Company and RMB in connection with each utilization of the Term B Facility.

 

The Amended and Restated Agreement now provides that (a) the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total net borrowings to consolidated EBITDA must be less than (i) 4.25 at March 31 and June 30, 2025, (ii) 4.00 at September 30, 2025, (iii) 3.50 at December 31, 2025, (iv) 3.00 at March 31, 2026, (v) 2.75 from June 30, 2026 through March 30, 2027, and (vi) 2.50 thereafter, and (b) the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to consolidated total finance costs must exceed (i) 3.00 from September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2026 and (ii) 3.50 thereafter. The financial covenant ratios and measurement dates were amended to conform to those set forth in that certain Facility Agreement, dated September 27, 2024 and amended on May 27, 2025, by and among the Company, certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries and RMB.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment, including the Amended and Restated Agreement, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment (and the Amended and Restated Agreement attached thereto as Schedule 3), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
