Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
First Amendment to Credit Agreement
On November 30, 2021, America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with BankUnited, N.A. and Bankers Trust Company (collectively, the “Lenders”), and the sole lead arranger and administrative agent, BankUnited, N.A. (the “Administrative Agent”) which modified certain provisions of the Credit Agreement dated June 11, 2021 (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment modified the definition of “Guarantor” to replace references to “Greystone Select Holdings LLC” with references to “Greystone Select Incorporated,” reflecting the replacement of the guarantor under the guaranty agreement described below.
Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement
On November 30, 2021, an affiliate of the Partnership, Greystone Select Incorporated (“Greystone Select”), entered into an Amended and Restated Guaranty with the Administrative Agent (the “Amended Guaranty”) whereby Greystone Select replaced the original guarantor, and as a result Greystone Select now will guaranty amounts due from the Partnership under the Credit Agreement and the Notes dated June 11, 2021 between the Partnership and each of the Lenders. The Amended Guaranty amends, restates and supersedes the original Guaranty between Greystone Select Holdings LLC and the Administrative Agent dated June 11, 2021 in its entirety and Greystone Select Holdings LLC is released from its obligations under the original Guaranty. The substantive terms of the Amended Guaranty do not materially differ from the terms of the original Guaranty.
The Amended Guaranty is enforceable upon the occurrence of (i) an event of default; (ii) the Administrative Agent taking certain actions in relation to the collateral pledged under the Amended Credit Agreement; and (iii) the amounts due under the Amended Credit Agreement are not collected within a certain period of time after the commencement of such actions. The Partnership has an indirect interest in the Amended Guaranty but is not a party to the Amended Guaranty. Greystone Select is subject to financial covenants under the Amended Guaranty related to minimum consolidated liquidity, minimum consolidated tangible net worth and certain changes in consolidated tangible net worth over certain time periods.
The foregoing descriptions of the First Amendment and Amended Guaranty are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment and Amended Guaranty, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
In addition, the full text of the Credit Agreement, Note dated June 11, 2021 between the Partnership and payable to BankUnited, N.A., and Note dated June 11, 2021 between the Partnership and payable to Bankers Trust Company, which were attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 14, 2021, are incorporated by reference herein.
