Debt Senior Secured Notes 2024 On March 15, 2019, Arrow Bidco issued $340 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.50% senior secured notes due March 15, 2024 (the “2024 Senior Secured Notes”) under an indenture dated March 15, 2019 (the “2024 Notes Indenture”). The 2024 Notes Indenture was entered into by and among Arrow Bidco, the guarantors named therein (the “2024 Senior Secured Note Guarantors”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and as collateral agent. Interest was payable semi-annually on September 15 and March 15 and began September 15, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company made an elective repayment of approximately $5.5 million on the 2024 Senior Secured Notes. On March 15, 2023, Arrow Bidco redeemed $125 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2024 Senior Secured Notes. The redemption was accounted for as a partial extinguishment of debt. In connection with the Notes Exchange Offer (defined in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K), approximately $181.4 million of 2024 Senior Secured Notes were exchanged by Arrow Bidco on November 1, 2023 for new 10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Secured Notes”). Following this exchange and related transactions, approximately $28.1 million aggregate principal amount of 2024 Senior Secured Notes remained outstanding, which were subsequently redeemed on November 21, 2023 resulting in an outstanding balance of $0 as of December 31, 2023. As such, none of the 2024 Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding. Refer to the “Notes Exchange Offer” section within Note 8 of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K for further discussion regarding the exchange and subsequent pay off of the remaining 2024 Senior Secured Notes. Senior Secured Notes 2025 In connection with the Notes Exchange Offer, as previously mentioned, on November 1, 2023 (the “Notes Exchange Offer Settlement Date”), approximately $181.4 million of 2024 Senior Secured Notes were exchanged by Arrow Bidco and Arrow Bidco issued approximately $181.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes pursuant to an indenture, dated November 1, 2023, by and among Arrow Bidco, the guarantors from time to time party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and collateral agent (the “2025 Senior Secured Notes Indenture”).

If Arrow Bidco undergoes a change of control or sells certain of its assets, Arrow Bidco may be required to offer to repurchase the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. Prior to September 15, 2024, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes will be redeemable at Arrow Bidco’s option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a customary make whole premium for the 2025 Senior Secured Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but not including the redemption date. The customary make whole premium, with respect to the 2025 Senior Secured Notes on any applicable redemption date, as calculated by Arrow Bidco, is the greater of (1) 1.00% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note; and (2) the excess of (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price at September 15, 2024 plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the 2025 Senior Secured Note through September 15, 2024, excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date, in each case, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the then outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. On and after September 15, 2024, Arrow Bidco, at its option, may redeem any outstanding 2025 Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to holders and not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee (or such shorter timeline as the Trustee may agree), at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the 6-month period beginning on the dates set forth below at the redemption prices listed below: | | | | | Redemption | Date | | Price | September 15, 2024 | | 102.000% | March 15, 2025 and thereafter | | 101.000% |
The 2025 Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Topaz and each of Arrow Bidco’s direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “2025 Note Guarantors”). Target Hospitality is not an issuer or a guarantor of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The 2025 Note Guarantors are either borrowers or guarantors under the ABL Facility. To the extent lenders under the ABL Facility release the guarantee of any 2025 Note Guarantor, such 2025 Note Guarantor is also released from obligations under the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. These guarantees are secured by a second priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Arrow Bidco and the 2025 Note Guarantors (subject to customary exclusions). The guarantees of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes by TLM Equipment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which holds certain of Target Hospitality’s assets, are subordinated to its obligations under the ABL Facility (as defined below). The 2025 Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit Arrow Bidco’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue certain types of stock, (ii) create or incur certain liens, (iii) make certain payments, including dividends or other distributions, (iv) prepay or redeem junior debt, (v) make certain investments or acquisitions, including participating in joint ventures, (vi) engage in certain transactions with affiliates and (vii) sell assets, consolidate or merge with or into other companies. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. In addition, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, Arrow Bidco must offer to repurchase the 2025 Senior Secured Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes Indenture also provides for events of default, to which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all of the then outstanding 2025 Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately. Arrow Bidco’s ultimate parent, Target Hospitality, has no significant independent assets or operations except as included in the guarantors of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, the guarantees under the 2025 Senior Secured Notes are full and unconditional and joint and several, and any subsidiaries of Target Hospitality that are not subsidiary guarantors of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes are minor. There are also no significant restrictions on the ability of Target Hospitality or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. See discussion of certain negative covenants above. Therefore, pursuant to the SEC Rules, no individual guarantor financial statement disclosures are deemed necessary. In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, there was an original issue discount of approximately $2.7 million and the unamortized balance of approximately $2.2 million is presented on the face of the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 as a reduction of the principal. The discount is amortized over the life of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes using the effective interest method. Finance Lease and Other Financing Obligations The Company’s finance lease and other financing obligations as of March 31, 2024 consisted of approximately $2.8 million of finance leases. The finance leases pertain to leases entered into during 2017 through March 31, 2024, for commercial-use vehicles with 36-month terms (and continue on a month-to-month basis thereafter) expiring through 2027. The Company’s finance lease and other financing obligations as of December 31, 2023 consisted of approximately $2.4 million of finance leases related to commercial-use vehicles with the same terms as described above. ABL Facility On March 15, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Topaz, Arrow Bidco, Target, Signor and each of their domestic subsidiaries entered into an ABL credit agreement that provided for a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $125 million (the “ABL Facility”), which was increased to $175 million with the Third Amendment discussed below. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no amounts were drawn or repaid on the ABL Facility resulting in an outstanding balance of $0 as of March 31, 2024. In accordance with the First Amendment to the ABL Facility on February 1, 2023 (the “First Amendment”), the reference interest rate for LIBOR borrowings changed from LIBOR to Term SOFR (commencing as of the effective date of the First Amendment). Borrowings under the ABL Facility, at the relevant borrower’s (the borrowers under the ABL Facility, the “Borrowers”) option, bear interest at either (1) Term SOFR or (2) a base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is 4.25% to 4.75% with respect to Term SOFR borrowings and 3.25% to 3.75% with respect to base rate borrowings based on achieving certain excess availability levels. The rates of the applicable margin were determined in connection with the Third Amendment to the ABL Facility on October 12, 2023 (the “Third Amendment”). Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the ABL Facility provides borrowing availability of an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $175 million and (b) the Borrowing Base (defined below) (the “Line Cap”). The Borrowing Base is, at any time of determination, an amount (net of reserves) equal to the sum of: | ● | 85% of the net book value of the Borrowers’ eligible accounts receivables, plus |
| ● | the lesser of (i) 95% of the net book value of the Borrowers’ eligible rental equipment and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of the Borrowers’ eligible rental equipment, minus |
The ABL Facility includes borrowing capacity available for standby letters of credit of up to $25 million and for ‘‘swingline’’ loan borrowings of up to $15 million. Any issuance of letters of credit or making of a swingline loan will reduce the amount available under the ABL Facility. In addition, the ABL Facility will provide the Borrowers with the option to increase commitments under the ABL Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25 million plus any voluntary prepayments that are accompanied by permanent commitment reductions under the ABL Facility. As a result of the First Amendment, the termination date of the ABL Facility was extended from September 15, 2023 to February 1, 2028, which extended termination date was subject to a springing maturity that would have accelerated the maturity of the ABL Facility. On August 10, 2023, Arrow Bidco and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the ABL Facility. The Second Amendment amended the ABL Facility to, among other things, modify the springing maturity that would have accelerated the maturity of the ABL Facility if any of the 2024 Senior Secured Notes remained outstanding from the date that was six months prior to the stated maturity date thereof to the date that was ninety-one days prior to the stated maturity date thereof. Finally, the Third Amendment amended the ABL Facility to, among other things, set the termination date of the ABL Facility to February 1, 2028, subject to springing maturity triggers that will accelerate the maturity of the ABL Facility if: (i) any of the 2024 Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding on the date that is ninety-one days prior to the stated maturity date thereof or (ii) any of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding on the date that is ninety-one days prior to the stated maturity date thereof. As previously mentioned, none of the 2024 Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding. The obligations under the ABL Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Topaz and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned U.S. organized restricted subsidiary of Arrow Bidco (together with Topaz, the “ABL Guarantors”), other than certain excluded subsidiaries. The ABL Facility is secured by (i) a first priority pledge of the equity interests of Topaz, Arrow Bidco, Target, and Signor (the “Borrowers) and of each direct, wholly-owned US organized restricted subsidiary of any Borrower or any ABL Guarantor, (ii) a first priority pledge of up to 65% of the voting equity interests in each non-US restricted subsidiary of any Borrower or ABL Guarantor and (iii) a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and the ABL Guarantors (in each case, subject to customary exceptions). As stated in the Third Amendment, the ABL Facility requires the Borrowers to maintain a (i) minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00:1.00 and (ii) maximum total leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00. The ABL Facility also contains a number of customary negative covenants. Such covenants, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of each of the Borrowers, their restricted subsidiaries, and where applicable, Topaz, to: | ● | incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock and make guarantees; |
| ● | engage in mergers or consolidations or fundamental changes; |
| ● | pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; |
| ● | make investments, loans and advances, including acquisitions; |
| ● | amend organizational documents and master lease documents; |
| ● | enter into certain agreements that would restrict the ability to pay dividends; |
| ● | repay certain junior indebtedness; and |
| ● | change the conduct of its business. |
The aforementioned restrictions are subject to certain exceptions including (i) the ability to incur additional indebtedness, liens, investments, dividends and distributions, and prepayments of junior indebtedness subject, in each case, to compliance with certain financial metrics and certain other conditions and (ii) a number of other traditional exceptions that grant the Borrowers continued flexibility to operate and develop their businesses. The ABL Facility also contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default. The carrying value of debt outstanding as of the dates indicated below consist of the following: | | | | | | | | | March 31, | | December 31, | | | 2024 | | 2023 | Finance lease and other financing obligations | | $ | 2,844 | | $ | 2,393 | 10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025, face amount | | | 181,446 | | | 181,446 | Less: unamortized original issue discount | | | (2,202) | | | (2,619) | Less: unamortized term loan deferred financing costs | | | (617) | | | (734) | Total debt, net | | | 181,471 | | | 180,486 | Less: current maturities | | | (1,574) | | | (1,369) | Total long-term debt | | $ | 179,897 | | $ | 179,117 |
Interest expense, net The components of interest expense, net (which includes interest expense incurred) recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the periods indicated below consist of the following, including the components of interest expense, net on the 2024 and 2025 Senior Secured Notes (collectively, the “Notes”): | | | | | | | For the Three Months Ended | | March 31, | | March 31, | | 2024 | | 2023 | Interest incurred on finance lease and other financing obligations | $ | 66 | | $ | 41 | Interest expense incurred on ABL Facility and Notes | | 5,042 | | | 7,470 | Amortization of deferred financing costs on ABL Facility and Notes | | 268 | | | 1,090 | Amortization of original issue discount on Notes | | 417 | | | 193 | Interest income | | (1,206) | | | (1,296) | Interest expense, net | $ | 4,587 | | $ | 7,498 |
Deferred Financing Costs and Original Issue Discount The Company presents unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized original issue discount as a direct deduction from the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Accumulated amortization expense related to the deferred financing costs was approximately $13.7 million and $13.5 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Accumulated amortization of the original issue discount was approximately $3.4 million and $3.1 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As previously mentioned, the partial redemption of the 2024 Senior Secured Notes on March 15, 2023 was accounted for as a partial extinguishment of debt and consequently, a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized original issue discount were expensed through loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as of the prepayment date. The Company recognized a charge of approximately $1.7 million in loss on extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized original issue discount for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Accumulated amortization related to revolver deferred financing costs for the ABL Facility was approximately $5.4 million and $5.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Revolver deferred financing costs are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 within deferred financing costs revolver, net. In connection with the First Amendment, which was considered a modification for accounting purposes, any unamortized deferred financing costs from the ABL Facility that pertained to non-continuing lenders were expensed through loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as of the amendment date. As such, the Company recognized a charge of approximately $0.4 million in loss on extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs pertaining to non-continuing lenders for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As the borrowing capacity of each of the continuing lenders on the amended ABL Facility was greater than the borrowing capacity of the ABL Facility before the amendment, the unamortized deferred financing costs at the time of the modification of approximately $0.4 million associated with the continuing lenders was deferred and amortized over the remaining term of the ABL Facility. Additionally, the Company incurred and paid approximately $1.4 million and $1.0 million of deferred financing costs as a result of the First Amendment and Third Amendment of the ABL Facility, which are capitalized and presented on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, within deferred financing costs revolver, net. These costs are amortized over the contractual term of the line-of-credit through the maturity date using the straight-line method. Refer to the components of interest expense in the table above for the amounts of the amortization expense related to the deferred financing costs and original issue discount recognized for each of these debt instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Future maturities The aggregate annual principal maturities of debt and finance lease obligations for each of the next five years, based on contractual terms are listed in the table below. The schedule of future maturities as of March 31, 2024, consists of the following: | | | | Rest of 2024 | | $ | 1,292 | 2025 | | | 182,472 | 2026 | | | 466 | 2027 | | | 60 | Total | | $ | 184,290 |
