Insights

Corporate finance and credit facilities analyst

Simpson refinances and upsizes flexible credit with covenant limits.

Simpson Manufacturing has secured a 5‑year revolving credit facility of $600,000,000 and a 5‑year term loan of $300,000,000, replacing its prior 2022 agreement. The term loan was used to refinance existing indebtedness and pay related transaction costs, while the revolver can support permitted acquisitions, investments, working capital and general business needs.

Interest costs float off benchmarks such as Base Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR, with an additional Applicable Margin that scales to the company’s net leverage ratio. Facility fees on unused revolver commitments range from 0.10% to 0.25% per year, and margins on borrowings vary by facility and reference rate, up to 1.75% over certain benchmarks.

The agreement introduces standard protections for lenders, including negative covenants on additional debt, liens, acquisitions, dividends and other activities, plus financial maintenance tests. The company must keep a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, with an option to step to 4.00 to 1.00 for four quarters after a qualifying acquisition, and maintain minimum consolidated interest coverage of 2.50 to 1.00. Overall impact depends on future borrowing levels and the interest rate environment over the 5‑year term.
