Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. (WGO) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for its asset-based lending facility, replacing the prior agreement that had provided for up to $350 million. The facility continues to be secured by liens on substantially all assets of the borrower group and is limited by a borrowing base tied to eligible receivables and inventories.

The amended agreement extends the maturity date to August 20, 2031 and makes reporting, covenant and other modifications while keeping customary covenants and events of default. Borrowings will bear a floating interest rate of term SOFR or REVSOFR30 plus a spread of 1.25%–1.75%, with a 0.25% commitment fee on unused commitments. Winnebago currently has no borrowings outstanding and, while at least 66% of the aggregate commitment remains unused, would incur a 1.25% spread plus the chosen reference rate on any future borrowings.

Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement financial
"entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"
asset-based lending credit facility financial
"provided for a five-year asset-based lending credit facility"
A credit line secured by a company’s tangible assets—commonly inventory, accounts receivable or equipment—where how much the company can borrow rises and falls with the value of those assets. Think of it like a home equity line or a pawnshop loan for a business: lenders advance cash based on what they could sell if needed. Investors care because this facility affects a company’s liquidity, borrowing costs and default risk, especially if asset values decline.
borrowing base financial
"limited to the lesser of the facility total and the calculated borrowing base"
A borrowing base is the amount a lender will allow a company to borrow based on the value of assets the company offers as security, typically things like accounts receivable and inventory. It matters to investors because it sets a practical ceiling on short-term financing and influences a company’s liquidity and risk: if the borrowing base falls, the company may lose access to cash or be forced to sell assets, which can affect operations and share value.
term SOFR financial
"either term SOFR or REVSOFR30, as well as a commitment fee"
Term SOFR is a benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing money over a specific period, based on actual transactions in the financial markets. It is used by lenders and borrowers to set the interest rates on loans and financial contracts, helping to ensure rates are fair and transparent. For investors, understanding term SOFR helps gauge borrowing costs and the overall direction of interest rates in the economy.
REVSOFR30 financial
"either term SOFR or REVSOFR30, as well as a commitment fee"

On August 20, 2026, Winnebago Industries, Inc., Winnebago of Indiana, LLC, Grand Design RV, LLC and Newmar Corporation (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrowers, the other loan parties party thereto from time to time, the lenders party thereto from time to time and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

 

The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 15, 2022, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2024, by and among the Borrowers, the other loan parties party thereto, the lenders party thereto from time to time and the Administrative Agent (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), which provided for a five-year asset-based lending credit facility of up to $350 million.

 

Among other things, the new Credit Agreement extends the maturity date applicable thereunder to August 20, 2031 and makes certain reporting, covenant and other modifications.

 

The Borrowers’ obligations to repay amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and certain of their subsidiaries, and the amount available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement is limited to the lesser of the facility total and the calculated borrowing base, which is based on certain loan percentages applied to eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventories of the Borrowers.

The Borrowers currently have no borrowings outstanding and, so long as at least 66% of the aggregate commitment under the facility remains available but unused during the most recent fiscal quarter, would pay an Applicable Spread of 1.25% plus the floating rates set forth above on any future borrowings under the Credit Agreement and currently pay a commitment fee of 0.25% on the average daily amount of the facility available, but unused.
