On November 8, 2017, the Company signed a Letter of Intent to amend its current debt agreement with its largest shareholder, Squadron Capital LLC (“Squadron”), to modify and extend the terms of its existing term notes and revolving credit facility. The Letter of Intent consolidates a majority of the term note amounts into a $20.0 million term loan and reestablishes a $15.0 million revolver. Both facilities will have an interest rate equal to the three month LIBOR plus 8.61%, which in total equals 10.0%, compared to a previous interest rate of 10.0% for the term notes and 11.0% for the revolving credit facility. The Letter of Intent extends the loan period through January 31, 2023 (previously May 31, 2019 or May 31, 2020 based on revenue). As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $27.6 million in total outstanding indebtedness, including $7.5 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, of which the Company expects to convert $1.6 million to term notes plus pay back $2.5 million in the near term, leaving over $11.0 million in available capacity.

Fred Hite, Chief Financial Officer of OrthoPediatrics, commented, “We are pleased to have signed a Letter of Intent to amend our loan agreement with Squadron, which will provide for a more favorable interest rate and extend the length of the agreement. It demonstrates Squadron’s commitment and confidence in our business and its long-term dedication to supporting the Company.”
