SUGAR LAND, Texas, Feb. 11, 2022 — Team, Inc. (NYSE: TISI) (“TEAM” or the “Company”), a global leading provider of integrated, digitally-enabled asset performance assurance and optimization solutions, today announced a series of related transactions in support of a comprehensive plan to refinance its capital structure.
Summary of Transactions
“We are pleased to have refinanced our capital structure, achieving one of our near-term capital strengthening priorities,” said Amerino Gatti, TEAM’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “These important transactions provide additional financial support by giving us greater operating flexibility, an improved liquidity position, and an increase to our available borrowing capacity. Collectively, these transactions address our current working capital needs and demonstrate clear progress of our financial and operational turnaround objectives, including strengthening the balance sheet and accelerating our review of strategic options and alternatives to maximize shareholder value, which we intend to complete later this year. I would like to thank our employees, clients, suppliers, and lenders, particularly Atlantic Park and Corre Partners; each of whom have played important roles in stabilizing the Company and creating a stronger TEAM.”
Asset-Based Lending Facility
TEAM’s current $150 million asset-based lending (ABL) credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. dated December 18, 2020, has been refinanced with a new $165 million ABL credit facility, which consists of a $130 million revolving credit facility provided by Eclipse Business Capital, LLC and a $35 million delayed draw term loan facility provided and managed by Corre Partners Management, LLC (collectively with certain of its affiliates, “Corre Partners”). This new ABL facility will mature on February 10, 2025. A portion of the interest under the delayed draw term loan facility may be paid in kind (PIK) at the Company’s option and with Corre Partners’ consent.
Access to Incremental Funding
TEAM also announced that it has amended its existing credit agreements with its lending partners, Corre Partners and Atlantic Park Strategic Capital Fund, L.P. (collectively with certain of its affiliates, “Atlantic Park”), to provide the Company with additional liquidity outside of the new ABL facility. This incremental financing consists of an additional $10 million under TEAM’s delayed draw subordinated term loan facility with Corre Partners dated November 2021. The additional liquidity under the subordinated term loan is available to be drawn by the Company until July 1, 2022, to support seasonal working capital needs.
New Equity Investment and an Additional Independent Director Nominee
As part of the refinancing and concurrent with its closing, Corre Partners has completed a $10 million private placement equity investment in the Company. Under the stock purchase agreement, Corre Partners has purchased 11,904,761 shares of TEAM’s common stock at $0.84 per share, which was purchased at a premium of approximately 20% over the 20-day average trading price of $0.70 per share. The investment is intended to support the Company’s future growth, including the expansion of its aerospace non-destructive testing capacity, digital and technology, and other product and service offerings.
Importantly, both Atlantic Park and Corre Partners have also agreed to waive anti-dilution provisions within their existing stock warrant agreements with respect to the equity financing.
In connection with its increased investment, Corre Partners has nominated Michael J. Caliel to serve as an independent director to TEAM’s Board, subject to his appointment and meeting certain nomination conditions. Mr. Caliel has over 40 years of experience, including turnaround experience in the energy, industrial, and infrastructure end markets. Mr. Caliel currently serves as non-executive Director of Orion Group Holdings and previously served as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Layne Christensen Company, Chief Executive Officer of Invensys Operations Management, a division of Invensys PLC, and President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. If appointed, as part of his Board role, Mr. Caliel is expected to participate with the Board and management on the ongoing financial and operational turnaround objectives as well as other strategic initiatives.
“Looking ahead, we remain committed to furthering our capital strengthening priorities to support the future growth of the Company, including using stringent fiscal discipline as we execute on the cost reduction actions to optimize our structure, and to enhance the value of the Company. Our plan is focused on pursuing a higher margin service mix and digital innovation opportunities to improve our competitive advantages and expand our market position. Finally, I look forward to working with Mike and believe he will be a valuable addition to our Board,” concluded Mr. Gatti.
