Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 19, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), LifeStance Health Holdings, Inc. (the “Borrower”), a subsidiary of LifeStance Health Group, Inc. (“LifeStance Health Group” or the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, Lynnwood Intermediate Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Holdings”), the other guarantors party thereto, Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent, collateral agent, issuing bank and swing line lender, and the lenders party thereto. The 2024 Credit Agreement includes a senior secured term loan facility of $290.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”), which was funded on the Closing Date, and establishes commitments in respect of a senior secured revolving loan facility of up to $100.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”). The commitments under the Revolving Facility will be available to be drawn on any date on or prior to the Closing Date, subject to certain customary funding conditions as further set forth in the 2024 Credit Agreement.
The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used (in addition to other items) to repay, on the Closing Date, all outstanding loans and commitments under the credit agreement, originally dated as of May 4, 2022, among the Borrower, Holdings, Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and the Existing Credit Agreement was terminated.
The Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. The commitments under the Revolving Facility are scheduled to mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.
The loans under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (which adjusted term SOFR is subject to a minimum of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin of 3.00% subject to stepdowns based on leverage-based metrics or (y) an alternate base rate (which will be the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) 0.50% above the federal funds effective rate and (iii) one-month adjusted term SOFR (which adjusted term SOFR is subject to a minimum of 0.00%) plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin of 2.00% subject to stepdowns based on leverage-based metrics. In addition, the Borrower is required to pay a quarterly undrawn commitment fee of 0.45% per annum subject to stepdowns based on leverage-based metrics on the undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility. The obligations under the 2024 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Holdings and certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to customary limitations and exceptions. The 2024 Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, certain affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default.
The foregoing description of the 2024 Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2024 Credit Agreement, a copy of which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
