Current report
On September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a term loan and security agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Callodine Commercial Finance, LLC as administrative agent and lender. The Credit Agreement provides for a four-year secured $160.0 million term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $140.0 million initial draw term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $20.0 million committed delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw”). The Delayed Draw is a committed facility in which the Company may request all or a portion of the Delayed Draw to be available to the Company. The Delayed Draw can be drawn no more than once per quarter in minimum increments of $2.5 million, and once drawn, any repaid amounts of the Delayed Draw cannot be re-borrowed. Any undrawn portion of the Delayed Draw commitment will terminate on September 30, 2027, the third anniversary of the closing date. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 30, 2028.
Current report
The Credit Facility replaced the revolving credit facility with Frost Bank that was originally entered into in July 2021 (as subsequently amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). A portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan was used to pay in full all outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Revolving Credit Facility was terminated.
Current report
The Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan, which will commence on December 31, 2024. The required principal amortization is as follows: (i) 5.0% in the first year (1.25% per quarter), (ii) 10.0% in the second year (2.50% per quarter), (iii) 15.0% in the third and fourth years (3.75% per quarter), and (iv) the remaining balance at maturity. The amortization for the Delayed Draw will also be paid quarterly and apply to each individual draw at the same prevailing quarterly rate that is in effect for the Term Loan and will commence with the first full quarter after the draw date of any Delayed Draw.
Current report
The interest on amounts drawn under the Credit Facility is payable monthly at a rate of 7.25% per annum plus the higher of (i) 90-day Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) with a credit adjustment spread of 0.15% or (ii) 3%. The undrawn portion of the Delayed Draw is subject to a 3.75% commitment fee, payable monthly.
Current report
Any principal prepayments in the first three years, other than mandatory prepayments pursuant to the Credit Agreement, will be subject to additional fees. In the first year, any prepayments will incur fees of 3% or the make-whole premium, whichever is higher. The make-whole premium is the interest and fees that would have been earned for the full year less interest and fees paid to date during the year. In the second and third years, any prepayments will incur fees of 2% and 1%, respectively. There are no fees for prepayments made in the fourth year.
Current report
The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants and events of default, including financial covenants based on the Company’s Liquidity, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and trailing twelve-month earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (the “TTM EBITDA Covenants”). The TTM EBITDA Covenants will be tested and the Company must comply with the TTM EBITDA Covenants during any period where the Company’s Liquidity falls below $30.0 million until the Company’s Liquidity exceeds $30.0 million for a period of at least 30 days. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain Liquidity of at least $20.0 million at all times. The Credit Agreement also stipulates that the outstanding principal cannot be greater than the specified advance rates against eligible collateral.
Current report
The obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries. The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company, subject to permitted liens and interests of other parties as described in the Credit Agreement.

These decreases were partially offset by increased revenues of $39.4 million from two bridge projects on the east coast, $11.4 million from an elevated roadway and bridge project in Florida, and $10.8 million from a project in the Bahamas, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the same period in 2023.

We will receive cash proceeds from the exercise of any Warrants that are exercised on a cash basis. We believe the likelihood that Warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our common stock. On August 5, 2024, the closing price of our common stock was $3.33 per share. To the extent the market price of our common stock remains below the exercise price of $11.50 per share, we believe that Warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Warrants for cash, resulting in little or no cash proceeds to us for any such exercise. To the extent we receive any cash proceeds, we expect to use such proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, which would increase our liquidity. However, we do not expect to rely materially on the cash exercise of Warrants to fund our operations.

Our current and future liquidity is greatly dependent upon our operating results, which are largely determined by overall economic conditions, our current contracts and Backlog. Our liquidity could be adversely affected by a disruption in the availability of credit. If such a material adverse event were to occur, we may be unable to borrow under our revolving credit facility agreement or may be required to seek additional financing. In addition, we may be required to seek additional financing to refinance all or a significant portion of our existing debt on or prior to maturity. We may also seek to access the public or private equity markets to support our liquidity whenever required or conditions are favorable to us. We have filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC that was declared effective by the SEC on April 8, 2024 (File No. 333-278008), which allows us to offer and sell up to an aggregate amount of $150.0 million of any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, or units of these securities from time to time subject to Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3 which limits the aggregate market value of securities we may sell during any 12 consecutive months to one-third of our public float for so long as our public float is less than $75.0 million. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or obtain additional financing when needed or on terms that are favorable to us.
