As of September 25, 2021, there was $851,000 outstanding under the Term Credit Agreement. As of September 25, 2021, the Company had $74,000 outstanding under the ABL Revolver along with $25,908 of letters of credit. The Company has approximately $150,092 of available borrowings under the ABL Revolver as a source of liquidity.

On April 16, 2021, the Company acquired Oz Post International, LLC ("OZCO"). The Company entered into an amendment ("OZCO Amendment") to the term loan credit agreement dated May 31, 2018 (the "2018 Term Loan"), which provided $35,000 of incremental term loan funds to be used to finance the acquisition. See Note 5 - Acquisitions for additional information regarding the OZCO acquisition.

In connection with the Closing as described in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”), which provided for a new funded term loan facility of $835.0 million and a delayed draw term loan facility of $200.0 million (of which $16.0 million was drawn). The Company also also entered into an amendment to their existing asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “ABL Amendment”) extending the maturity and conformed certain provisions to the Term Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the funded term loans under the Term Credit Agreement and revolving credit loans under the ABL Credit Agreement were used, together with other available cash, to (1) refinance in full all outstanding term loans and to terminate all outstanding commitments under the credit agreement, dated as of May 31, 2018 ("2018 Term Loan" including the OZCO Amendment), (2) refinance outstanding revolving credit loans, and (3) redeem in full senior notes due July 15, 2022 (the “6.375% Senior Notes”). Additionally, the Company fully redeemed the 11.6% Junior Subordinated Debentures.

The interest rate on the Term Credit Agreement is, at the discretion of the Company, either the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rate plus a margin varying from 2.75% and 2.50% per annum or an alternate base rate plus a margin varying from 1.75% to 1.50% per annum. The Term Credit Agreement is payable in installments equal 0.25% of the original principal amount and delayed draw with a balloon payment due on the maturity date of July 14, 2028. The term loans and other amounts outstanding under the Term Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s and the guarantors’ assets. The delayed draw term loan facility under the Term Credit Agreement may be used to finance permitted acquisitions and similar investments and to replenish cash and repay revolving credit loans previously used for permitted acquisitions.

Portions of the ABL Revolver are separately available for borrowing by the Company's United States subsidiary and Canadian subsidiary for $200,000 and $50,000, respectively. The interest rate for the ABL Revolver is, at the discretion of the Company, either adjusted LIBOR (or a Canadian banker’s acceptance rate in the case of Canadian Dollar loans) plus a margin varying
from 1.25% to 1.75% per annum based on availability or an alternate base rate (or a Canadian prime rate or alternate base rate in the case of Canadian Dollar loans) plus a margin varying from 0.25% to 0.75% per annum based on availability. The stated maturity date of the revolving credit commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement is May 31, 2026. The loans and other amounts outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement and related documents are guaranteed by Holdings and, subject to certain exceptions, the Borrower’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s and the guarantors’ assets plus, solely in the case of the Canadian Borrower, its and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary’s assets, which has guaranteed by the Canadian portion under the ABL Credit Agreement.
