Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Innovative Solutions & Support (ISSC) signed a new five-year Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase on 18 Jul 2025 providing up to $100 million in committed financing.

Revolver: $30 m; availability for working capital & general corporate use.
Initial Term Loan: $25 m drawn immediately; quarterly amortization of $0.625 m begins 30 Sep 2025.
Delayed-Draw Term Loan: $45 m available solely for permitted acquisitions; 2.5 % quarterly amortization starts after 18 Jan 2026.

The facility replaces a $35 m PNC revolver, refinancing that debt and increasing total liquidity by $65 m. All loans mature five years from first advance and are secured by substantially all domestic assets, including the Exton, PA headquarters. Borrowings bear interest at either (i) Alternate Base Rate +0.75鈥�1.75 % or (ii) Term SOFR +1.75鈥�2.75 %, depending on total net leverage; default rate is +200 bp. Covenants restrict additional debt, liens, investments, dispositions and dividends; cross-default threshold is $2.5 m. ISSC may request a further $25 m in incremental commitments, subject to lender consent.

The arrangement significantly extends borrowing capacity and funds potential M&A, but increases secured leverage and exposes the company to floating-rate costs.

Positive

Credit capacity more than doubled: replaces $35 m line with $100 m multi-tranche facility.
Dedicated acquisition financing: $45 m delayed-draw term loan earmarked for M&A growth.
Option for additional $25 m incremental commitments provides further flexibility.

Negative

Higher secured leverage potential could pressure future cash flows and covenants.
Floating-rate exposure (SOFR-linked) increases earnings sensitivity to rate hikes.

Insights

TL;DR: New $100 m facility boosts liquidity and M&A capacity; leverage and rate risk rise.

The JPMorgan-led agreement nearly triples ISSC鈥檚 available credit, immediately refinancing the $35 m PNC line while leaving ~$70 m undrawn. Management gains flexibility to pursue acquisitions through the $45 m delayed-draw tranche, signalling a growth-by-M&A strategy. Covenants appear standard and leverage-based pricing (SOFR +1.75鈥�2.75 %) is reasonable for an aerospace avionics supplier of ISSC鈥檚 size. While the deal strengthens the balance-sheet鈥檚 liquidity profile, investors should monitor incremental debt use, interest-expense impact in a rising-rate environment, and the company鈥檚 ability to keep net leverage within stepped pricing tiers.

TL;DR: Secured, covenant-heavy structure protects lenders; leverage headroom tight.

The facility is fully secured by all domestic assets and the Exton real estate, offering solid collateral. Quarterly amortization on term loans and a 5-year bullet on the revolver reduce refinancing risk. However, the cross-default trigger is low ($2.5 m), and restrictive covenants could limit financial flexibility if earnings soften. Variable-rate exposure leaves ISSC vulnerable to higher SOFR prints; a 100 bp rise could add ~$1 m annual interest if fully drawn. Overall risk to lenders remains moderate; to equity holders, incremental leverage is manageable but warrants scrutiny.

Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 18, 2025, Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary Innovative Solutions and Support, LLC (“Borrower”) and certain domestic subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) and the other lender parties thereto, which Credit Agreement provides for the Bank to extend to the Borrower credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to USD $100.0 million (the “Credit Facilities”), consisting of:

●

a USD $30,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”);

●

a USD $25,000,000 initial term loan facility (the “Initial Term Loan”); and

●

a USD $45,000,000 delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”).

The Credit Facilities replace the Company’s existing $35 million Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note, dated as of September 30, 2024 in favor of PNC Bank, National Association (the “PNC Facility”).

Proceeds from the Initial Term Loan and initial borrowings under the Revolving Facility were used to refinance the PNC Facility and pay transaction costs. Future borrowings under the Revolving Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. The Delayed Draw Term Loan may only be used for permitted acquisitions.

The Credit Facilities mature five years following the date of the initial advance (the “Maturity Date”). The Initial Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $625,000 commencing September 30, 2025, with the remaining balance due on the Maturity Date. The Delayed Draw Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments equal to 2.50% of the original aggregate principal amount commencing with the first scheduled payment date after January 18, 2026, with the remaining balance due on the Maturity Date. The Revolving Facility principal is due on the Maturity Date. All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities will be due and payable upon the earlier of the Maturity Date, or the acceleration of the Credit Facilities upon an event of default.

Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Borrower's option at either (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus an applicable margin, or (ii) the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin. The Alternate Base Rate is the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York rate for overnight funds plus 0.50%, and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month period plus 1.00%, with a minimum rate of 1.00% per annum. The Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is the Term SOFR Rate plus 0.10%. The applicable margin is determined based on the Company's Total Net Leverage Ratio and ranges from 0.75% to 1.75% for Alternate Base Rate loans and from 1.75% to 2.75% for Adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans. Interest is payable quarterly for Alternate Base Rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for Adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans. During an Event of Default, all outstanding amounts bear interest at a rate that is 2.00% per annum above the rate otherwise applicable. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year).

The Borrower's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries. The obligations are secured by substantially all assets of the Borrower and the guarantors, including a first priority lien on the Company's owned real property located at 720 Pennsylvania Drive, Exton, Pennsylvania.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, investments, asset dispositions, and restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, covenant breaches, cross-defaults on material indebtedness exceeding $2,500,000, bankruptcy events, and change of control.

The Borrower has the right to request up to $25,000,000 in additional revolving commitments or incremental term loans, subject to lender approval and satisfaction of certain conditions.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by

reference. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement were made only for purposes of the Credit Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Credit Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
