NOTE 15: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Predecessor participated in MacAndrews & Forbes’ (“MacAndrews”) directors and officers’ insurance program, which covered the Predecessor along with MacAndrews and its other affiliates. The limits of coverage are available on aggregate losses to any or all of the participating companies and their respective directors and officers. For the period January 1, 2020 to June 25, 2020, the Predecessor reimbursed MacAndrews an immaterial amount for its allocable portion of the premiums for such coverage, which the Predecessor believed was more favorable than the premiums that it could have secured were it to secure its own coverage. The Predecessor also participated in certain other insurance programs with MacAndrews under which it paid premiums directly to the insurance broker.
In March 2018, the Predecessor entered into a revolving credit agreement with Wesco US LLC, an indirect and wholly-owned subsidiary of Merisant. This revolving credit facility, as amended, had a maturity date of January 3, 2022 and provided for maximum outstanding borrowings of up $9.0 million. The revolving credit facility was unsecured and bore interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 4.0% and provided for periodic interest payments with all principal due upon maturity. MacAndrews had the right to accept or reject any borrowing request made by the Predecessor pursuant to the revolving credit agreement in its sole discretion. The outstanding balance on the revolving credit agreement at June 25, 2020 was $3.4 million and was forgiven by MacAndrews in connection with the Business Combination. The interest expense for the period from April 1, 2020 to June 25, 2020 and January 1, 2020 to June 25, 2020 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
In July 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Watermill Institutional Trading LLC, a registered broker-dealer (“Watermill”), to act as one of the Company’s financial advisors for a 12-month period commencing July 22, 2020 for total consideration of $0.9 million, of which $0.2 million and $0.5 million was expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Additionally, the Company incurred additional expense of $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to services provided by Watermill in connection with the acquisition of Wholesome. A former director of Act II is a registered representative of Watermill and is providing services directly to the Company under the agreement.
