Draw-down of Revolving Credit Facility

On December 29, 2022, Digital Media Solutions, LLC ("DMS" or the "Company"), a subsidiary of Digital Media Solutions, Inc. (the "Company"), drew $35.0 million under its $50 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"), which is maintained under our May 25, 2021 senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of lenders ("Lenders"), arranged by Truist Bank and Fifth Third Bank, as joint lead arrangers, and Truist Bank, as administrative agent. Together with the previously disclosed draw of $5.0 million on October 4, 2022, $40.0 million is currently outstanding under our Revolving Facility. The Company intends to use the borrowings for general corporate purposes, including certain acquisition opportunities that it is considering. In the event that no acquisition opportunity is realized, the Company intends to repay all or a substantial portion of the $35.0 million draw-down. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $48.9 million in cash on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet, inclusive of the draw-downs under the Revolving Facility. The approximate cash amount as of December 31, 2022, is preliminary and subject to change as part of the Company's normal fiscal year closing process, which has not yet been completed.

As of December 31, 2022, the effective interest rate on the borrowings under the Revolving Facility was 8.6%. Under the Revolving Facility, DMS LLC pays a 0.50% per annum commitment fee in arrears on the undrawn portion of the revolving commitments.




Item 8.01 Other Events

Strategic Alternatives Update

As previously disclosed, on August 16, 2021, we commenced a process to evaluate potential strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, and as part of that process, have been evaluating a full range of strategic, operational and financial alternatives. On September 8, 2022, our board of directors received an offer from Prism Data, LLC, an investment vehicle affiliated with our CEO Joseph Marinucci and our COO Fernando Borghese, to acquire all of our outstanding Class A common stock of DMS for $2.50 per share in cash.

Our board of directors, together with its independent outside financial adviser with respect to the Prism Data proposal, continues to engage in dialogue with Prism Data and its financial adviser regarding the proposal as part of the ongoing strategic alternatives process. In addition, as noted in Items 2.02/2.03 above, our board of directors is reviewing certain additional acquisition opportunities as part of the strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that the Prism Data proposal, the other acquisition opportunities, or the strategic alternatives process will result in any transaction, or any assurance as to the outcome or timing of any such transaction.
