Insights
Perimeter refinances and extends a sizable secured revolver on leverage-linked terms.
Perimeter Solutions put in place an amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million, maturing in 2030. The structure includes a swingline and letter of credit sub-facility, which supports working capital and bonding needs rather than acting as pure term debt. The option to increase commitments up to the greater of $315.0 million (or $360.0 million after the MMT Acquisition) and 100% of Consolidated EBITDA gives contractual room for expansion, subject to conditions in the agreement.
Pricing combines Term SOFR or a base rate with an initial margin of 2.75% for SOFR loans and 1.75% for base rate loans, rising in two steps if the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio exceeds 3.75:1.00 and 4.25:1.00. This links borrowing cost directly to leverage, so actual expense will depend on how the company manages debt levels relative to that metric.
The revolving facility is fully guaranteed by domestic wholly owned material restricted subsidiaries and secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of their assets, aligning lender protections with typical leveraged credit structures. Separately, a stockholder action in Delaware was closed, with the company agreeing to pay $725,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses; this resolves that matter on the fee side without a merits ruling described here.
