Secured Term Loan

In April 2023, Sunlight entered into the Secured Term Loan that consists of loan commitments for two tranches of loans secured by a first lien perfected security interest in all of Sunlight’s assets: (a) a $38.8 million tranche used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility with SVB, pay fees and accrued interest due under the Secured Term Loan and other agreements between Sunlight and its Bank Partner, and for general corporate purposes (the “Tranche 1 Loan”) and (b) a $49.8 million tranche used for deferred loan sale proceeds and to pay fees and capitalized interest applicable to the tranche (the “Tranche 2 Loan”). No scheduled principal payments are due until May 2024, after which Sunlight is required to make monthly principal payments until maturity.

SVB Receivership and Revolving Credit Facility

On March 10, 2023, SVB was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) was appointed as receiver of SVB. SVB was Sunlight’s primary bank and the sole lender for Sunlight’s revolving credit facility prior to Sunlight refinancing the facility with its Bank Partner in April 2023. On March 12, 2023, the Department of the Treasury, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC issued a joint statement noting that, among other things, the resolution of SVB would fully protect all depositors and that depositors would have full access to all of their money on deposit with SVB on Monday, March 13, 2023. While SVB’s receivership had a short-term impact on Sunlight’s business and its ability to make payments to its installer base, Sunlight resumed payments to installers within a few days.
