Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 31, 2023, each of the following agreements expired in accordance with its terms: (i) Accommodation Agreement among Unique Fabricating, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and General Motors LLC, FCA US LLC, FCA Mexico, SA and FCA Canada Inc. and Yanfeng Automotive Interiors, certain other customers of the Company (“Customers”), and Citizens Bank National Association, in its capacity as the Agent (the “Agent”) for the financial institutions party (the “Lenders”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated November 8, 2018, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), including by the Forbearance Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) the Forbearance Agreement, entered into on May 22, 2023, among Unique Fabricating NA, Inc. and Unique-Intasco Canada, Inc. and their parent Unique Fabricating, Inc. and the Agent and the Lenders (the “Forbearance Agreement”).
The Accommodation Agreement provides for specified price increases to be paid by Customers during the term or other funding to be provided by Customers to the Company through the purchase by Customers of a junior tranche of debt to be established under the Credit Agreement of up to $15 million in the aggregate. Customers also agreed not to exercise certain rights of set off, recoupment, deduction or defense and not to resource production of component parts to other suppliers during the term.
The Credit Agreement terminates on November 8, 2023. As of October 31, 2023, there were outstanding senior secured borrowings of $35.6 million and junior tranche borrowings of $6.4 million under the Credit Agreement. As of the date hereof, the Company continues to have access to borrowings under the line of credit under the Credit Agreement. There can be no assurance that it will continue to be the case. If the Company is not able to obtain extensions of the Credit Agreement, the Forbearance Agreement, and the Accommodation Agreement, it may be forced to seek protection under the federal bankruptcy laws.
