Business Wire
The Baldwin Group, the brand name for The Baldwin Insurance
Group, Inc. (“Baldwin,” “we” or “our”) (NASDAQ: BWIN), an
independent insurance distribution firm delivering tailored
insurance solutions to a wide range of personal and commercial
Clients, today announced that its subsidiary, The Baldwin Insurance
Group Holdings, LLC (“Baldwin Holdings”), successfully received
commitments from lenders to (i) reprice its existing $837.9 million
senior secured first lien term loan facility maturing on May 24,
2031 (the “Existing Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) enter into an
incremental term loan facility amendment to its existing credit
agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which Baldwin
Holdings is expected to borrow $100 million of incremental term B
loans (the “Incremental Term Loan B”; the Incremental Term Loan B
together with the Existing Term Loan Facility, the ”Term Loan
Facility”) under the Credit Agreement, which would increase the
aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loan Facility from
$837.9 million to $937.9 million.
The Term Loan Facility will bear interest at term SOFR, plus an
applicable margin of 300 bps, with a margin step-down to 275 bps at
a first lien net leverage ratio of 4.00x or below. The Incremental
Term Loan B will have the same terms as the Existing Term Loan
Facility, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the same maturity
date. We expect the repricing of the Existing Term Loan Facility
and the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loan B to close on
January 10, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions,
including the finalization and execution of definitive
documentation.
Baldwin Holdings intends to use the net proceeds from
Incremental Term Loan B to settle its contingent earnout
liabilities as they become due and to pay related fees, costs,
expenses and accrued interest, and any remaining proceeds for
general corporate purposes.
