Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 30, 2026, Twin Disc, Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as Borrower; Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. ("Kobelt"), as Guarantor; Bank of Montreal, as a Lender, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, and L/C Issuer; and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase"), as a Lender. The Credit Agreement refinances and replaces the credit agreement dated February 14, 2025 among the Company, Kobelt, and Bank of Montreal. Capitalized terms in this Current Report that are not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Bank of Montreal and Chase (the “Lenders”) made Term Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000. The maturity date of the Tem Loans is June 30, 2031, and the Company is required to make principal installments on the Term Loans of at least $375,000, per quarter (increasing to $562,500 per quarter for the quarter ending on or about September 30, 2028, and $750,000 per quarter for the quarter ending on or about September 30, 2030).
The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to enter into Revolving Loans with the Lenders from time to time prior to June 30, 2031 (the “Revolving Credit Termination Date”) in amounts not to exceed $60,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”). The Revolving Credit Commitment includes a $5,000,000 sublimit for Swing Loans and a $4,000,000 sublimit for Letters of Credit that may be requested by the Company from time to time until the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Swing Loan or Letter of Credit provided pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement shall be a Revolving Loan provided under the Revolving Credit Commitment.
Interest rates under the Credit Agreement are based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”), the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (the “CORRA”), or a Base Rate based on the highest of the prime rate, federal funds rate, or Term SOFR. Loans under the Credit Agreement are designated as either as SOFR Loans, which accrue interest at a Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin; Base Rate Loans, which accrue interest at the Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin; Eurodollar Loans, which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin; Term CORRA Loans, which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; Daily Compounded CORRA Loans, which accrue interest at a Daily Compounded CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, which accrue interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin for Loans is between 1.50% and 3.00%, and the Applicable Margin for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment is between 0.15% and 0.30% (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio). The Term Loan has been designated as a SOFR Loan.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and Kobelt’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company has also pledged 65% of its equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries. To effect these security interests, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement, Amended and Restated IP Security Agreement, Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement, and Amended and Restated Perfection Certificate with the Administrative Agent, and the Company has agreed to enter into an Amended and Restated Agreement as to Liens and Encumbrances and Amended and Restated Negative Pledge Agreement with the Administrative Agent with regard to the Company’s real property.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate the remaining Commitments and all obligations of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement; (2) declare the principal and accrued interest of all Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; and (3) demand the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize the outstanding L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate L/C Obligations. If such Event of Default is due to the Company’s bankruptcy, the actions and obligations listed above shall occur without notice to the Company.
A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Sixth Amended and Restated Revolving Note with Bank of Montreal, Revolving Note with Chase, Third Amended and Restated Term Note with Bank of Montreal, Term Note with Chase, and Swing Note with Bank of Montreal (collectively, the “Notes”), are attached to this report as Exhibits 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 and are incorporated herein by reference.
