Agreement Includes $100 Million Term Loan and $40 Million Revolving Credit Facility With Competitive Terms
Capital to Support Strategic and Corporate Initiatives, Including Prospective Growth Investments, Capital Structure Enhancements and Share Repurchases
1847 Goedeker Inc. (NYSE American: GOED) ("Goedeker" or the "Company"), a content driven and technology enabled shopping destination for appliances, furniture and home goods in the U.S. household appliances market, today announced that it has entered into a $140 million credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent. Goedeker intends to use the Credit Agreement to fund future strategic and corporate initiatives, including prospective growth investments, capital structure enhancements and share repurchases under its board of directors’ previously authorized program.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, Goedeker will have access to a $100 million term loan and a $40 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $2 million swingline subfacility and a $2 million letter of credit subfacility. Each of the loans include market terms and will mature in May 2027. The proceeds of the term loan were applied, among other uses, to prepay the obligations in full under the Company’s existing first lien term loan credit agreement.
Albert Fouerti, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Goedeker, commented:
“It is a testament to the strength of our business and its long-term trajectory that we are able to enter into this Credit Agreement right now. We have access to affordable, non-dilutive capital to support future initiatives, such as building out our B2B model through strategic partnerships, expanding our fulfillment capabilities and enhancing our technology stack. We are also well positioned to continue optimizing our capital structure, including by executing on our share repurchase program and any authorized in the future. We look forward to working with our rebuilt management team to capture additional market share and drive towards our goal of a billion dollars in sales in the coming years.”
