Executive Summary
Clear Secure's borrower subsidiary Alclear Holdings executed Amendment No. 4 to its credit facility, reducing total lender commitments from $100M to $50M, increasing the letter of credit sublimit from $35M to $50M, cutting the applicable margin by 100bp to 1.50% (term SOFR) and 0.50% (base rate), lowering the unused commitment fee from 0.35% to 0.25%, and extending the maturity date from June 28, 2026 to June 23, 2031. The downgraded facility is now a sole-lender JPMorgan line, and all existing letters of credit were folded into the revolver. This is a credit-positive refinancing that improves liquidity terms and pushes out the maturity wall by 5 years at notably lower borrowing costs.
