Senior Sustainability-Linked Notes

Our 7.625% Senior Sustainability-Linked Notes (the “Notes”) are due April 1, 2026. The Notes are unsecured and effectively subordinated to the Credit Facility to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the Credit Facility (see below). The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Interest on the Notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. We may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time at redemption prices ranging from 103.8125% through March 31, 2025 to 100% on or after April 1, 2025. If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued interest.

Credit Facility

Our amended and restated credit agreement (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) provides for, among other things, (i) commitments of $350.0 million, (ii) a maturity date of October 12, 2027, with a springing maturity of 91 days ahead of the Notes’ due date of April 1, 2026 in the event the Notes are voluntarily redeemed, repurchased, refinanced or otherwise retired in full prior to such springing maturity date, (iii) loans made under our revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and unused commitment fees to be determined based on a leverage ratio ranging from 3.00:1.00 to 4.50:1.00, (iv) an accordion feature permitting the Company to seek an increase of the Credit Facility of up to $150.0 million, subject to certain conditions, (v) a leverage ratio covenant which comprises a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, net of $40.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents if the facility is drawn, and net of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents if the facility is undrawn, (vi) a leverage ratio covenant test level which is currently 4.50 to 1.00 and (vii) a secured leverage covenant of 2.50 to 1.00.

The Credit Facility provides for:

i. Base rate borrowings that bear interest at the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) Term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%; plus a margin that ranges from 175 basis points to 275 basis points, depending upon our leverage ratio; or
ii. SOFR borrowings that bear interest at Term SOFR plus SOFR Adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin that ranges from 275 basis points to 375 basis points, depending upon our leverage ratio.

In addition, the Credit Facility provides for commitment fee rates that range from 37.5 basis points to 50.0 basis points, depending upon our leverage ratio.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $150 thousand in letters of credit outstanding and $323.9 million in revolving commitments available.

The Credit Facility is secured by all the real and material personal property owned by Solaris LLC or any of its subsidiaries, other than certain excluded assets. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

Insurance Premium Financing

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into a short-term agreement with a third-party to finance certain insurance premiums for an aggregate amount of $6.6 million. The insurance premium financing is repayable in monthly installments of principal and interest through September 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the remaining balance was $3.7 million and is included in “Insurance Premium Financing Liability” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
