This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by DHI Group, Inc. on June 10, 2022. The filing discloses the entry into a new material definitive agreement and the termination of a prior credit facility. The Company, along with its subsidiaries Dice Inc. and Dice Career Solutions, Inc., serves as the borrower under the new terms.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
- New Facility: Entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement providing a $100 million revolving facility maturing on June 10, 2027.
- Initial Borrowing: Borrowed $30 million at closing to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the prior agreement.
- Interest Rates: Borrowings bear interest at a SOFR or base rate plus a margin. Margins range from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR/RFR loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, based on the consolidated leverage ratio.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Company terminated its previous amended and restated credit agreement (dated November 14, 2018, and amended June 22, 2021) upon full repayment of outstanding indebtedness and accrued interest. The new agreement extends the maturity date to 2027 and maintains interest rates and covenants substantially consistent with the previous facility. The new agreement allows for prepayment without penalty.
Guidance, Risks, and Covenants
The Credit Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants. Negative covenants restrict the Company from incurring certain liens, making stock repurchases or dividend payments, making certain investments or acquisitions, and incurring additional indebtedness. Events of default include non-payment, change of control, or insolvency, which may trigger acceleration of payment obligations. The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, or cash flow metrics for the period.
