Date of Report: November 7, 2017
Event: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement (Third Amendment to Credit Agreement).
Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report revenue, profit, cash flow, or liquidity metrics. It specifically addresses debt service costs under the existing Credit Agreement dated October 27, 2015.
- Term B Loan Interest Margin (Base Rate): Reduced to 2.25% (down 25 basis points).
- Term B Loan Interest Margin (Adjusted LIBOR): Reduced to 3.25% (down 25 basis points).
- Prepayment Fee: 1.00% of aggregate principal amount of Term B Loans if a Repricing Event occurs within six months of the amendment.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary change is the reduction in interest rate margins for Term B Loans. There are no changes to the maturity dates of the Term B Loans or the covenants within the Credit Agreement.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Future Interest Rate Reductions: Margins may step down by an additional 25 basis points (to 2.00% for Base Rate and 3.00% for Adjusted LIBOR) if the Company achieves and maintains specific credit ratings:
- Moody's: B2 (stable outlook) or higher.
- Standard & Poor's: B (stable outlook) or higher.
Contingency: A prepayment fee of 1.00% applies if another Repricing Event occurs on or before the six-month anniversary of the Third Amendment.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the current outstanding principal amount of Term B Loans to calculate the immediate interest savings.
- Confirm the Company's current credit ratings from Moody's and Standard & Poor's to assess eligibility for the additional 25 basis point reduction.
- Review the definition of a "Repricing Event" in the Credit Agreement to evaluate the risk of incurring the 1.00% prepayment fee.
- Check the full text of Exhibit 10.1 for any other amendments not summarized in the 8-K.
