AppFolio, Inc. (NASDAQ:APPF) is one of the 11 best 52-week low technology stocks to buy now. AppFolio, Inc. (NASDAQ:APPF) secured a $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank on February 6. However, the loan comes with strict restrictions that could limit the company’s strategic and financial flexibility. These rules limit AppFolio, Inc. (NASDAQ:APPF) from taking on additional debt, making major investments, selling assets, granting liens, returning capital to shareholders, and engaging in certain transactions with affiliates. The facility also sets a limit on the company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. These limits could make it harder for the company to quickly respond to market changes or pursue growth opportunities. If the company fails to meet these requirements or misses a payment, it could cause a default. In that case, lenders could demand immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts and stop providing additional funding.
