Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 30, 2025, Synergy CHC Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with ACP Agency, LLC (“ACP”). The Credit Agreement consists of a $15.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), up to $2.5 million in a committed delayed draw facility (the “Delayed Draw Facility”), and up to $2.5 million in an uncommitted term loan incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”), which facilities are secured by all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries; including, without limitation, a pledge of the Company’s equity interests in its subsidiaries and their respective rights to intellectual property. Further, the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Term Loan are to be used to repay existing indebtedness of the Company, pay related fees and transaction costs, and provide working capital to the Company. The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Facility are to be used to pay off all indebtedness owed by the Company pursuant to certain settlement agreements. All capitalized words used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement has customary representations, warranties and covenants including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, restricted payments and dividends, investments, asset sales and similar covenants and contains customary events of default. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants requiring the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a maximum (x) consolidated senior net leverage ratio of (i) 3.25:1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, (ii) 3.25:1.00 for the quarter ending December 31, 2025, (iii) 3.00:1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, (iv) 2.75:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, (v) 2.75:1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, and (vi) 2.50:1.00 for the quarter ending December 31, 2026 and each fiscal quarter ended thereafter and (y) a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and each fiscal quarter ended thereafter.
Of the Term Loan, $175,000 is subject to repayment on each of January 1, 2026, April 1, 2026, July 1, 2026 and October 1, 2026 and the remaining balance is to be repaid in the amount of $350,000 beginning January 1, 2027 and the first day of each quarter thereafter. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the Term SOFR rate plus 8.50%. The Delayed Draw Facility and Incremental Facility, if applicable, shall bear interest following any advance of proceed thereunder, at a rate of either (x) (i) Term SOFR rate plus (ii) 8.5%, or (y) (i) a reference rate equal to the greater of (a) 6.0% per annum, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (c) the Term SOFR rate plus 1% per annum, and (d) the rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States, plus (ii) 7.50%.
