Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 10, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), The Baldwin Insurance Group Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Baldwin Risk Partners, LLC) (“Baldwin Holdings”), the operating company and direct subsidiary of The Baldwin Insurance Group, Inc. (formerly known as BRP Group, Inc.) (“Baldwin”), as borrower, entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (the “Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), certain material subsidiaries of Baldwin Holdings (together with Baldwin Holdings, the “Loan Parties”), as guarantors, and the several banks, financial institutions, institutional investors and other entities party thereto as lenders and letter of credit issuers, pursuant to which that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2024, among the Loan Parties, the Agent and the several banks, financial institutions, institutional investors and other entities from time to time party thereto as lenders and letter of credit issuers (the “Credit Agreement”), was amended to, among other things, provide for $100 million of incremental term B loans (the loans thereunder, the “New Term Loans”), increasing the aggregate principal amount of Baldwin Holdings’ existing $835.8 million senior secured first lien term loan facility maturing on May 24, 2031 to $935.8 million. The New Term Loans were funded on the Closing Date, and the proceeds of which were used to repay in full all of the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date.

 

The New Term Loans bear interest at term SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 300 bps, with a margin step-down to 275 bps at a first lien net leverage ratio of 4.00x or below. The New Term Loans are otherwise subject to the same terms to which the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) were subject under the Credit Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed with Baldwin’s next Annual Report on Form 10-K.
