| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement | ||||
On December 16, 2025, Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (the “Company”) entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, and the other parties party thereto. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2022, among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and the other parties party thereto, as amended.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a 5-year revolving credit facility of $600,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes a letter of credit subfacility of up to $50,000,000, and for a 5-year term loan facility of $300,000,000 (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be used to fund permitted acquisitions and other investments permitted under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and for ongoing working capital and general business needs. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility were used, on the closing date of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, to refinance indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and for payment of premiums, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated to occur in connection therewith. The Company has the ability to increase the principal amount of the Credit Facilities by an additional amount equal to the greater of $525,000,000 and 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended fiscal quarter, by obtaining additional commitments from existing lenders or new lenders and satisfying certain other customary conditions.
The Company is required to pay an annual revolving credit facility fee of 0.10% to 0.25% per annum on the available commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, regardless of usage, with the applicable fee determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Company is also required to pay customary fees as specified in separate fee agreements between the Company, Wells Fargo and/or other arrangers.
Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities will bear interest from time to time at either Base Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR, in each case, as calculated under and as in effect from time to time under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, plus the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Applicable Margin is determined based on the Company’s net leverage ratio, and ranges (i) from 0.00% to 0.75% per annum for amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility that bear interest at Base Rate, (ii) from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum for amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility that bear interest at Eurocurrency Rate, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR, (iii) from 0.00% to 0.50% per annum for amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility that bear interest at Base Rate, (iv) from 0.6826% to 1.5326% per annum for amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility that bear interest at Daily Simple RFR (solely to the extent denominated in pound sterling) and (v) from 0.65% to 1.50% per annum for amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility that bear interest at Daily Simple RFR (other than loans denominated in pound sterling) or Eurocurrency Rate. Loans outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time without penalty except for customary breakage costs and expenses.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with various customary affirmative covenants, including, without limitation, furnishing updated financial and other information, preserving existence and entitlements, maintaining properties and insurance, complying with laws, maintaining books and records, requiring any new domestic subsidiary meeting a materiality threshold specified in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to become a guarantor thereunder, and paying certain obligations. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains various customary negative covenants binding the Company and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, restrictions on liens and indebtedness, investments (including restrictions on acquisitions by the Company), fundamental changes, dividends and distributions, sales and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, use of proceeds, maintenance of business, amendments of organizational documents, accounting changes, and prepayments and modifications of subordinated debt, in each case, subject to specified exceptions.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with two financial maintenance covenants, each calculated on a consolidated basis. The Company has to maintain a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, subject to a step-up, at the Company’s election, to 4.00 to 1.00 for four consecutive fiscal quarters following an acquisition above a specified threshold. The Company has to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to make a payment when due, default on various covenants in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, breach of representations or warranties, cross-default on other material indebtedness, bankruptcy or insolvency, occurrence of certain
judgments and certain events under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, invalidity of loan documents, or change of control.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lenders may terminate their commitments and may accelerate the obligations and take certain other specified remedies.
In the ordinary course of business, certain of the lenders under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and their affiliates have provided to the Company and its subsidiaries, and may in the future provide, (i) investment banking, commercial banking cash management, foreign exchange or other financial services, and (ii) services as a bond trustee and other trust and fiduciary services, for which they have received compensation and may receive compensation in the future.
