SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Merger
On the Closing Date, Vectrus, Inc. completed its previously announced Merger with Vertex, a global leader in aerospace and defense technologies, by acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Vertex. On the Closing Date, Vertex and its consolidated subsidiaries became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
We recognized $5.9 million and $14.9 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed as incurred during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, respectively. These costs are included in SG&A expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase business combination. As such, the Company will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value, with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded as goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The Company expects to finalize its purchase price allocation in 2023 after we have further analyzed and assessed a number of the factors used in establishing the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date including, but not limited to, contractual and operational factors underlying the customer-related intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; details surrounding tax matters; and assumptions underlying certain existing or potential reserves, such as those for legal and environmental matters. The final fair value determination could result in material adjustments.
The Closing Date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $634 million, which was comprised of the following:

Vertex ABL Credit Agreement
ABL Facility. The Vertex ABL Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving loan facility (the ABL Facility) of up to an aggregate amount of $200,000,000 (the loans thereunder, the ABL Loans). The Vertex ABL Credit Agreement also
provides for (i) a $15,000,000 sublimit of availability for letters of credit, and (ii) a $10,000,000 sublimit for short-term borrowings on a swingline basis. The commitments under the ABL Facility expire on June 29, 2026, and any ABL Loans then outstanding will be payable in full at that time.
Availability. Availability under the ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base (the Borrowing Base), which is based on 85% of eligible accounts receivable, eligible government account receivable and eligible government subcontract accounts receivable, plus 50% of eligible unbilled accounts receivable, plus the lesser of (x) 65% of the book value of eligible inventory, and (y) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory of the Vertex Borrower, Vertex Holdings and most of the Vertex Borrower’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (including the Company Guarantor Subsidiaries, collectively, the ABL Guarantors), after adjusting for customary reserves that are subject to the ABL Agent’s discretion.

To the extent that the Vertex Borrower’s and ABL Guarantors’ eligible accounts receivable, eligible government account receivable, eligible government subcontract accounts receivable, eligible unbilled accounts receivable, and eligible inventory, decline, the Borrowing Base will decrease, and the availability under the ABL Facility may decrease below $200,000,000. Any ABL Loans in requested are subject to a number of customary conditions, including accuracy of representations and warranties and no default. The proceeds from the ABL Loans may be used to finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Vertex Borrower and its subsidiaries.

Interest Rates and Fees. The borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at rates that, at the Vertex Borrower’s option, can be either a base rate, determined by reference to the federal funds rate, plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.25% per annum, or a term benchmark rate, determined by reference to Term SOFR, plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.25% per annum, in each case, depending on the aggregate availability under the ABL Facility.
Unutilized commitments under the ABL Facility are subject to a per annum fee of (x) 0.375% if the total outstandings were equal to or less than 50% of the aggregate commitments, or (y) 0.25% if such total outstandings were more than 50% of the aggregate commitments.
The Vertex Borrower is also required to pay a letter of credit fronting fee to each letter of credit issuer equal to 0.125% per annum of the amount available to be drawn under each such letter of credit (or such other amount as may be mutually agreed by the Vertex Borrowers and the applicable letter of credit issuer), as well as a fee to all lenders equal to the applicable margin for Term SOFR ABL Loans times the average daily amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit.
