Amended Credit Agreement
 
In 2014, Envestnet and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with a group of banks (the “Banks”), for which Bank of Montreal is acting as administrative agent. Since 2014, the credit agreement has been amended several times, the latest of which occurred in October 2021.
 
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Banks have agreed to provide the Company with a revolving credit
facility of $500.0 million, of which amount may be increased by $150.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Amended Credit Agreement also includes a $5.0 million sub-facility for the issuances of letters of credit. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 Obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of Envestnet’s U.S. subsidiaries. In accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement, dated November 19, 2015, among the Company, the Debtors party thereto, the Banks and the Administrative Agent, obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and the Company’s pledge of 66% of the voting equity and 100% of the non-voting equity of certain of its first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Proceeds under the Amended Credit Agreement may be used to finance capital expenditures, working capital, permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
 
In the event the Company has borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, it will pay interest on these borrowings at rates between 1.50% and 3.25% above LIBOR based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. Any borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement will mature on September 27, 2024. There is also a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2021, debt issuance costs related to the Amended Credit Agreement are presented in prepaid expenses and other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets which have outstanding amounts of $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, mandatory prepayment provisions and events of default. The covenants include certain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain compliance with a maximum senior leverage ratio, a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and minimum adjusted EBITDA. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains provisions that require the Company to maintain minimum liquidity levels, limit the ability of Envestnet and its subsidiaries to incur debt, make investments, sell assets, create liens, engage in transactions with affiliates, engage in mergers and acquisitions, pay dividends and other restricted payments, grant negative pledges and change their business activities. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants as of December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had all $500.0 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility, subject to covenant compliance.

See “Note 22—Subsequent Events” for details on the Company's Third Credit Agreement entered into on February 4, 2022.

Convertible Notes due 2023
 
In May 2018, the Company issued $345.0 million of convertible notes maturing June 1, 2023 (the “Convertible Notes due 2023”). Net proceeds from the offering were $335.0 million. The Convertible Notes due 2023 bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

The Convertible Notes due 2023 are general unsecured senior obligations, subordinated in right of payment to the Company’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Convertible Notes due 2023 rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future senior indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated obligations. The Convertible Notes due 2023 will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of any of the Company’s subsidiaries, other than its wholly owned subsidiary, Envestnet Asset Management, Inc., which will fully and unconditionally guarantee the notes on an unsecured basis, and other than to the extent the Convertible Notes due 2023 are guaranteed in the future by any of our other subsidiaries as described in the indenture and will be effectively subordinated to and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change”, as defined in the indenture, the holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Convertible Notes due 2023 for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2023 being purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at our option, on or after June 5, 2021 if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days, consecutive or non-consecutive, within a 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, any of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption.

The Convertible Notes due 2023 are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock under certain circumstances prior to maturity at an initial conversion rate of 14.6381 shares per one thousand principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2023, which represents a conversion price of $68.31 per share and approximately 5.1 million shares issuable upon conversion, subject to adjustment under certain conditions. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon a "fundamental change", as defined in the indenture, if the Company calls all or any portion of the notes for optional redemption, or subject to antidilution provisions provided in the indenture. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes due 2023 at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2022, only under the following circumstances: (a) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2018 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes due 2023 in effect on each applicable trading day; (b) during the five consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per one thousand principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2023 for each such trading day was less than 98% of the last reported sale price of our common stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; (c) if we call any or all of the Convertible Notes due 2023 for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (d) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as defined in the indenture. On or after December 15, 2022, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may surrender their notes for conversion at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Upon conversion, the Company may pay cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and stock, as determined by the Company in its discretion. The Company’s stated policy is to settle the debt component of the Convertible Notes due 2023 at least partially or wholly in cash. This policy is based both on the Company’s intent and the Company’s ability to settle these instruments in cash.
Upon issuance, the Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes due 2023 by allocating the proceeds from issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2023 between the liability component and the embedded conversion option, or equity component. This allocation was done by first estimating an interest rate at the time of issuance for similar notes that do not include an embedded conversion option. The Company allocated $46.6 million to the equity component, presented within additional paid-in capital, net of offering costs of $1.4 million. The Company recorded a discount on the Convertible Notes due 2023 of $48.0 million which was accreted and recorded as additional interest expense.

Upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021, the equity component is no longer separated from the host contract and is now accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost within Long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2021, the Convertible Notes due 2023 are presented at their gross proceeds of $345.0 million less unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.0 million with no future accretion of the original issue discount necessary. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $9.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively, in accretion related to the discount.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2023, the Company incurred $10.0 million of issuance costs in 2018, of which $8.6 million was originally allocated to the debt component and presented net in Long-term debt and $1.4 million was originally allocated to the equity component and presented within additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the costs originally allocated to the equity component are reflected within Long-term debt and are being amortized and recorded as additional interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes due 2023.

Convertible Notes due 2025

In August 2020, the Company issued $517.5 million of convertible notes that mature on August 15, 2025 (the “Convertible Notes due 2025”). Net proceeds from the offering were $503.0 million. The Convertible Notes due 2025 bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum payable semiannually in arrears in cash on February 15 and August 15 of each year.

The Convertible Notes due 2025 are general unsecured senior obligations, subordinated in right of payment to the Company’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Convertible Notes due 2025 rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future senior indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated obligations. The Convertible Notes due 2025 will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of any of the Company’s subsidiaries, other than its wholly owned subsidiary, Envestnet Asset Management, Inc., which will fully and unconditionally guarantee the notes on an unsecured basis, and other than to the extent the Convertible Notes due 2025 are guaranteed in the future by any of our other subsidiaries as described in the indenture and will be effectively subordinated to and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the indenture, the holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Convertible Notes due 2025 for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2025 being purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at our option, on or after August 15, 2023 if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days, consecutive or non-consecutive, within a 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, any of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption.

The Convertible Notes due 2025 are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock under certain circumstances prior to maturity at a an initial conversion rate of 9.3682 shares per one thousand principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2025, which represents a conversion price of $106.74 per share and approximately 4.8 million shares issuable upon conversion, subject to adjustment under certain conditions. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon a "fundamental change", as defined in the indenture, if the Company calls all or any portion of the notes for optional redemption, or subject to antidilution provisions provided in the indenture. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes due 2025 at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 15, 2025, only under the following circumstances: (a) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock, for
at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Notes in effect on each applicable trading day; (b) during the five consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price for the notes for each such trading day is less than 98% of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; (c) if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (d) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the Indenture. On or after February 15, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may surrender their notes for conversion at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Upon conversion, the Company may pay cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and stock, as determined by the Company in its discretion. The Company’s stated policy is to settle the debt component of the Convertible Notes due 2025 at least partially or wholly in cash. This policy is based both on the Company’s intent and its ability to settle these instruments in cash.

Upon issuance, the Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes due 2025 by allocating the proceeds from issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2025 between the liability component and the embedded conversion option, or equity component. This allocation was done by first estimating an interest rate at the time of issuance for similar notes that do not include the embedded conversion option. The Company allocated $61.9 million to the equity component presented within additional paid-in capital, net of offering costs of $1.9 million and taxes of $6.7 million. The Company recorded a discount on the Convertible Notes due 2025 of $70.6 million which was accreted and recorded as additional interest expense.

Upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021, the equity component is no longer separated from the host contract and is now accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost within Long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2021, the Convertible Notes due 2025 are presented at their gross proceeds of $517.5 million less unamortized debt issuance costs of $10.7 million with no future accretion of the original issue discount necessary. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 the Company recognized $4.7 million in accretion related to the discount.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2025, the Company incurred a total of $14.5 million of issuance costs in 2020, of which $12.6 million was originally allocated to the debt component and presented net in Long-term debt and $1.9 million was originally allocated to the equity component and presented within additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the costs originally allocated to the equity component are reflected within Long-term debt and are being amortized and recorded as additional interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes due 2025.
