Business Context and Reporting Period
Globant S.A. filed Form 6-K on June 23, 2025, to disclose Amendment No. 1 to its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The amendment was executed on June 18, 2025, by Globant, LLC, a U.S. subsidiary of the Company.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
- New Debt Capacity: The Company increased its credit capacity by $375 million through a new term loan tranche.
- Lenders: The term loans are provided by a syndicate including HSBC Bank USA, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., The Bank of Nova Scotia, Citibank, N.A., PNC Bank, Bank of America, N.A., Bank of China Limited, BNP Paribas, and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.
- Use of Proceeds: Funds will be used to repay the outstanding balance under the existing revolving credit facility.
- Maturity Date: May 30, 2028 (matching the existing revolving credit facility).
- Interest Rates: SOFR plus 1.25% to 1.875%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 0.25% to 0.875%, determined quarterly based on the Maximum Net Leverage Ratio.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the restructuring of the Company's debt facilities. The Company is transitioning from a revolving credit facility structure to a term loan structure for the $375 million tranche, while maintaining the same maturity date. This amendment modifies the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 31, 2023.
Guidance, Risks, and Covenants
- Financial Covenants: The Borrower must comply with two quarterly-tested maintenance covenants:
- Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.00:1.00.
- Maximum Net Leverage Ratio of 3.50:1.00.
- Operational Risks: The agreement contains customary negative and affirmative covenants that may limit the Company's operational flexibility and ability to take advantageous actions.
- Guarantees: The obligations are guaranteed by Globant S.A., Globant España S.A., and Globant IT Services Corp.
- Missing Data: The filing text does not provide current revenue, profit, cash flow, or liquidity figures, nor does it contain management commentary on future business outlook.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
