Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On January 29, 2021, L.B. Foster Company (the “Company”), its domestic subsidiaries, and certain of its Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Citizens Bank, N.A., and BMO Harris Bank, National Association. The Second Amendment permits the Company to incur indebtedness to finance insurance premiums in the ordinary course of business and allows for certain liens to secure the financing of insurance premiums. The Second Amendment also provides for modifications to the definitions of Gross Leverage Ratio and Leverage Ratio in the Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment modifies Gross Leverage Ratio and Leverage Ratio to exclude the Indebtedness permitted for the financing of insurance premiums in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3.0 million.
The Gross Leverage Ratio is the Company's consolidated Indebtedness, excluding the Indebtedness permitted for the financing of insurance premiums, to the Company’s Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ending. The Leverage Ratio is the Company's Consolidated Total Net Indebtedness, excluding the Indebtedness permitted for the financing of insurance premiums, to the Company’s Consolidated EBITDA (i) for the four fiscal quarters then ending if such date is a fiscal quarter end or (ii) for the four fiscal quarters most recently ended if such date is not a fiscal quarter end.
The description set forth above of the Second Amendment is a summary only and is not complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete test of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Second Amendment has been filed as an exhibit solely to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to be a source of financial, business, or operational information about the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or their assets. The covenants contained in the Second Amendment are made solely for purposes of that agreement and are made as of their dates; are solely for the benefit of the parties; may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Second Amendment, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Investors and security holders should not rely on the covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or their assets. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the covenants may change after the date of the Second Amendment, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
