On July 17, 2018, Spark Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), the Co-Borrowers (as defined in the Amendment), the Banks (as defined in the Amendment), and Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., as exiting bank, entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated May 19, 2017, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to extend the expiration date by one year to May 19, 2020. The Amendment also changes the definition of Maximum Working Capital Advance Cap to $192.5 million to reflect the current outstanding commitment levels under the Credit Agreement, and provides for a revised accordion feature to allow the Co-Borrowers to elect to increase aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement from $192.5 million to up to $250.0 million, subject to customary conditions. The Amendment also contains increases to various sub-limits under the Credit Agreement if and to the extent that the Co-Borrowers elect to increase commitments up to $250.0 million under the new accordion feature as follows: • The Maximum Working Capital Advance Cap would increase up to a maximum of $250.0 million; • The sub-limits on the Bridge Loans for acquisitions, at $48.125 million pursuant to the Amendment, would continue to be capped 25% of the facility, up to a limit of $62.5 million; • Standby Letters of Credit with terms up to 90 days, at $192.5 million pursuant to the Amendment, would continue to be capped at 100% of the facility, up to a limit of $250.0 million; and • Standby Letters of Credit with terms from 90 days up to 365 days, at $115.5 million pursuant to the Amendment, would continue to be capped at 60% of the facility, up to a limit of $150.0 million. The Amendment adds a Maximum Senior Secured Leverage Ratio covenant that provides that the Company shall not permit the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio to be more than 1.85 to 1.00. The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (a) all indebtedness of the loan parties on a consolidated basis that is secured by a lien on any property of any loan party (including the effective amount of all loans then outstanding (but, in any case, limited to 50% of the effective amount of letter of credit obligations attributable to performance standby letters of credit) but excluding subordinated debt permitted by the Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment) to (b) Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent twelve (12) month period then ended. Additionally, the Total Leverage Ratio financial covenant has been increased to allow for a Total Leverage Ratio of no more than 2.50 to 1.00, and has been revised to exclude the effective amount of letter of credit obligations from the calculation of the ratio. The Amendment also expands permitted repurchases of equity securities under the Credit Agreement to include shares of preferred stock, and increases the sublimit for equity investments and loans to affiliates, each subject to certain limitations. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. will no longer be a lender under the Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Amendment. The Amendment also contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and Co-Borrowers. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
