Credit Facility

On June 24, 2013, the subsidiaries of SLP entered into a $15,000 credit facility with City National Bank. The subsidiaries of SLP are the borrowers under such facility and SLP guarantees the obligations of its subsidiaries thereunder. The credit facility is secured by certain assets of SLP and its subsidiaries. The credit facility consists of a $7,500 delayed draw term loan that matures on June 24, 2020 and a $7,500 revolving credit facility that matured on December 24, 2016. As of December 23, 2016, the revolving credit facility was extended for one year.  The loan bears interest at either (a) the higher of the prime rate plus a margin of 0.05 percentage points and 2.5% or (b) the LIBOR rate plus 3 percentage points, at the borrowers’ option. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no amount has been drawn on the term loan credit facility and the borrowers may draw up to the full amount of the term loan through June 25, 2018. Borrowings under the term loan on or prior to June 24, 2015 were payable in 20 equal quarterly installments. Borrowings under the term loan after June 24, 2015 are payable in equal quarterly installments through the maturity date. The credit facility contains restrictions on, among other things, (i) incurrence of additional debt, (ii) creating liens on certain assets, (iii) making certain investments, (iv) consolidating, merging or otherwise disposing of substantially all of our assets, (v) the sale of certain assets, and (vi) entering into transactions with affiliates. In addition, the credit facility contains certain financial covenants including a test on discretionary assets under management, maximum debt to EBITDA and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit facility contains customary events of default, including the occurrence of a change in control which includes a person or group of persons acting together acquiring more than 30% of the total voting securities of Silvercrest.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

Interest expense, which also includes amortization of deferred financing fees, incurred on the revolving credit facility and term loan for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $4 and $12, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $12 and $35, respectively.

On June 3, 2013, Silvercrest redeemed units from two of our former principals. In conjunction with this redemption, Silvercrest issued promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5,300, subject to downward adjustments to the extent of any breach by the holders of such notes. The principal amounts of the notes were originally payable in four equal annual installments on each of June 3, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. The principal amount outstanding under these notes bears interest at the U.S. Prime Rate plus 1% in effect at the time payments are due. Silvercrest elected not to make the June 3, 2014 payment as it was being assessed as to whether the former principals had complied with the note covenants and whether any reduction to these notes should be made.  In October 2014, certain reductions totaling $1,722 were agreed to, based upon a review of the note covenants.  As a result, the principal amounts of the notes of $3,578 became payable in four equal installments of approximately $900 on November 1, 2014, and on each of August 1, 2015, 2016 and 2017.  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0 and $895, respectively, remained outstanding on the notes and accrued but unpaid interest on the notes was approximately $0 and $17, respectively.  

On June 30, 2015, Silvercrest issued promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2,165 in connection with the Jamison Acquisition.  The principal amount outstanding under the notes bears interest at 5% per annum.  The principal amounts of the notes are payable in three equal installments of approximately $722 on each of June 30, 2016, 2017 and 2018.  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $722 and $1,443, respectively, remained outstanding on the note and accrued but unpaid interest on the notes was approximately $9 and $18, respectively.
