STATE FARM CREDIT FACILITY TERM SHEET
TERM SHEET | |||||
•This Term Sheet (the “Term Sheet”) summarizes the proposed terms to be incorporated into a definitive agreement, with respect to a proposed credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to Hagerty Reinsurance Limited by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company. The proposed terms and any final agreement are subject to the negotiation and execution of all definitive documentation. The parties do not intend that this Term Sheet or any actions of the parties with respect hereto be deemed to constitute a legally binding obligation of the parties (and neither this Term Sheet nor such actions shall constitute legally binding obligations of the parties to enter into the Credit Facility). Except as set forth below, it is understood and agreed that (i) this Term Sheet creates no binding rights or obligations on the part of any party or any legal offer of any kind and (ii) no legally binding agreement shall arise, directly or indirectly, as to the subject matter hereof unless and until written, definitive agreements evidencing the Credit Facility have been negotiated, approved, executed and delivered by the parties. | |||||
CREDIT FACILITY | |||||
Borrower: | Hagerty Reinsurance Limited, a Bermuda Class 3A Reinsurance Company (the “Company”). | ||||
Lender: | State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (the “Lender”). | ||||
Facility: | 10-year unsecured term loan in the principal amount of $25 million (the “Term Loan”). | ||||
Incremental Facility: | The Company will have the right, from time to time, on one or more occasions, to add one or more incremental term facilities and/or increase the amount of the Term Loan in an aggregate original principal amount not to exceed $25 million (each an “Incremental Facility”), subject to (i) customary terms and conditions and (ii) one or more incurrence tests. The aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan and all Incremental Facilities shall not exceed $50 million. Each Incremental Facility shall be pari passu with or junior to the Term Loan and on terms and conditions agreed upon by the Company and the relevant Incremental Facility lender(s). The Company shall first offer the opportunity to the Lender to provide any Incremental Facility and the Lender shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in any Incremental Facility in its sole discretion by responding within ten (10) business days of such offer. | ||||
Availability: | The Term Loan will be available on the date on which definitive credit documentation for the Term Loan is executed and delivered by the Lender and the Company (the “Closing Date”), subject to the conditions precedent set forth herein. Amounts repaid under the Term Loan shall not be reborrowed. | ||||
Use of Proceeds: | The Company shall use the proceeds of the Term Loan for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the Term Loan shall not be used for any personal, family or household purposes or the acquisition of margin stock. | ||||
Subordination: | Repayment rights pursuant to the Term Loan shall be subordinated to any obligations to the Company’s policyholders in the case of a winding-up of the Company. | ||||

Interest Rate: | Interest will accrue on the Term Loan at the fixed interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (compounded annually). The default interest rate will be the interest rate plus two percent (2%) per annum. |
