Debt | Debt 2024 Term Loan On June 28, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BGC Lender Rep LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement established a senior secured term loan facility of up to $75.0 million (the “Term Loan”), all of which was funded on the Effective Date. The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to (i) fund the Senior Note Repurchase (as defined below), (ii) to fund the Series B Repurchase (as defined below) and (iii) to pay transaction fees and expenses associated with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan matures on June 28, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”); provided that if (i) the Company’s 8.375% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”) are not refinanced, redeemed or repaid in full prior to March 31, 2026, the Maturity Date shall be March 31, 2026 and (ii) in the event of a refinancing, redemption or repayment of the Senior Notes in full prior to March 31, 2026, the Maturity Date shall be the earlier of (A) June 28, 2028 and (B) the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the final stated maturity date for the indebtedness resulting from such refinancing, redemption or repayment of the Senior Notes in full. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate The Credit Agreement requires the Company to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loan in an amount of $468,750 on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning on September 30, 2024 and ending on June 30, 2026. Starting on September 30, 2026, and on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, such repayments of outstanding principal shall be $1,875,000. The final principal repayment of the Term Loan shall be repaid on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding on such date. The Company may at any time voluntarily prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part subject to a variable prepayment fee if such prepayment is made prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date. The Company is required to pay an exit fee of $1.5 million if, among other things, the Maturity Date is extended beyond March 31, 2026. The Credit Agreement also contains mandatory prepayment provisions that are customary for secured financings of this type from excess cash flow and with the proceeds of certain asset sales, tax refunds, equity sales or issuances, and debt issuances, each as more fully described in the Credit Agreement. The Company made principal payments of $0.5 million on the Term Loan for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2024 in line with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets (other than existing real property) of Synchronoss. Other than an Irish Subsidiary (as defined in the Credit Agreement), none of the Company’s direct or indirect foreign subsidiaries or immaterial subsidiaries has guaranteed the loans under the Credit Agreement, but under certain circumstances, such subsidiaries may become guarantors. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that limit the Company’s ability and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, (iii) sell assets, (iv) make certain investments, (v) grant liens and (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Credit Agreement. The financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement include (i) a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio, which will be tested at the end of each of the Company’s fiscal quarter and (ii) an average liquidity requirement for any calendar month. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties subject to certain exceptions. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, which, for example, could be triggered by a breach or violation of, or default under, certain material contracts of the Company, BGC Lender Rep may take either or both of the following actions: (i) terminate the commitments and (ii) declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable and take such other actions as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and Term Loan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which is on file with the SEC and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov . The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants pertaining to the Term Loan as of September 30, 2024. Repurchase of Senior Notes and Series B Preferred The Company used $66.5 million of the proceeds from the Term Loan and $2.6 million non-interest-bearing deferred consideration, payable to B. Riley 180 calendar days following the Effective Date, for a total consideration of $69.1 million (“the total consideration”) to repurchase 100% of its outstanding Series B Perpetual Non-Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) and 787,590 (14%) of its outstanding Senior Notes from B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC (“BRPI”), a related party. The fair value of Series B Preferred stock of $57.6 million was determined using a discounted cash flow model using level two inputs. The carrying value of Series B Preferred was $58.2 million. The second quarter’s accrued dividend of $2.1 million was forgiven at the time of the repurchase. The Series B Preferred repurchase gain of $2.7 million was calculated as the fair value of consideration paid less the carrying value, less the second quarter’s accrued dividend forgiven. The $2.7 million gain was accounted for as capital transaction and reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). While the transaction was not reflected in the income statement, the gain was reflected in the adjustment to net income from common shareholders for purposes of calculating EPS, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company allocated $57.6 million of the total consideration to the Series B Preferred based on the fair value and allocated the remaining consideration of $11.5 million to the Senior Notes repurchase. The carrying value of Senior notes repurchased was $19.1 million including $0.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The second quarter’s accrued interest of $0.3 million was forgiven at the time of the repurchase. The Senior Note Repurchase gain of $7.9 million was calculated as the remaining consideration paid of $11.5 million less the carrying value, less the second quarter’s accrued interest forgiven. The Company accounted for the debt repurchase as a redemption with a related party. ASC 470-50-40-2 indicates that such an extinguishment transaction may be in essence a capital transaction. Therefore, the transaction was accounted for as a capital transaction and reflected as an adjustment to APIC, which resulted in a gain of $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Offering of Senior Notes On June 30, 2021, the Company closed its underwritten public offering of $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% senior notes due 2026 at a par value of $25.00 per senior note (the “Senior Notes”). The offering was conducted pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Notes Underwriting Agreement”) dated June 25, 2021, by and among the Company and B. Riley Securities, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters (the “Notes Underwriters”). At the closing, the Company issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, inclusive of $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Notes Underwriters’ option to purchase additional Senior Notes. The Notes Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Notes Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. On June 30, 2021, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) and a supplemental indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), between the Company and the Trustee. The Indenture establishes the form and provides for the issuance of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade payables. The Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 8.375% per annum. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing on July 31, 2021. The Senior Notes will mature on June 30, 2026, unless redeemed prior to maturity. The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, redeem the Senior Notes for cash in whole or in part (i) on or after June 30, 2022 and prior to June 30, 2023, at a price equal to $25.75 per Senior Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption, (ii) on or after June 30, 2023 and prior to June 30, 2024, at a price equal to $25.50 per Senior Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption, (iii) on or after June 30, 2024 and prior to June 30, 2025, at a price equal to $25.25 per Senior Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption, and (iv) on or after June 30, 2025 and prior to maturity, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. On and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the redeemed Senior Notes. The Indenture contains customary events of default and cure provisions. If an uncured default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes may declare the entire amount of the Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable. In the case of an event of default involving the Company’s bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or the holders of the Senior Notes, become due and payable. On October 25, 2021, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) between the Company and B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”), a related party, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, up to $18.0 million of the Company’s 8.375% Senior Notes due 2026. Sales of the additional Senior Notes pursuant to the Sales Agreement, if any, may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under the Sales Agreement, the Agent will be entitled to compensation of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of all notes sold through it as the Company’s agent. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company sold an additional $16.1 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The additional Senior Notes sold have terms identical to the initial Senior Notes and are fungible and vote together with, the initial Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are listed and trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SNCRL.” On June 28, 2024, Synchronoss repurchased 787,590 of its Senior Notes from BRPI, as described above. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants pertaining to the Senior Notes as of September 30, 2024.
