Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K, dated April 29, 2011, reports material events occurring on May 3, 2011, for Genpact Limited, a Bermuda-incorporated global business process outsourcing company. The filing details the completion of a major acquisition and the restructuring of the company's debt facilities to support the transaction.
Key Financial Metrics and Capital Structure
The filing outlines significant changes to Genpact's capital structure and liquidity position:
- Acquisition Cost: Genpact acquired Headstrong Corporation for an aggregate enterprise value of $550 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments.
- New Credit Facility: A new credit agreement was established providing a $120 million term credit facility and a $260 million revolving credit facility.
- Expansion Option: Borrowers have an option to increase commitments by up to an additional $100 million.
- Interest Rates: Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.65% per annum. Revolving commitments incur a 0.70% fee on unused amounts.
- Funding Sources: The acquisition was funded through a combination of existing cash on hand and borrowings under the new Credit Agreement.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
Genpact terminated its existing credit facility (dated June 30, 2006) on April 29, 2011, after repaying all outstanding loans in full on April 26, 2011. This facility was immediately replaced by the new four-year Credit Agreement described above. Additionally, the company expanded its operations through the acquisition of Headstrong, a provider of consulting and IT services specializing in capital markets and healthcare.
Outlook, Risks, and Covenants
The new Credit Agreement imposes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, creating liens, making certain investments or dividends, and undertaking mergers or asset dispositions. The agreement requires Genpact to maintain specific consolidated interest coverage and leverage ratios. Events of default include nonpayment, covenant breaches, cross-defaults, and change of control events. The filing notes that financial statements for the acquired business (Headstrong) are not included in this initial report and will be filed in a subsequent amendment.
