Item 1.01 | | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On November 5, 2015 The KEYW Holding Corporation (“KEYW”) as a guarantor, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) by and among itself, The KEYW Corporation, as the borrower (the “Borrower”), the subsidiary guarantors of the Borrower, the lenders (the “Lenders”) identified in the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2014 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) and Royal Bank of Canada, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to adjust the minimum cash interest coverage charge ratio as of the quarter ended September 30, 2015 to 1.6:1, and to increase the applicable interest rates with respect to the Credit Agreement’s consolidated senior secured leverage ratio pricing tiers. The Amendment also increases by 0.15% the commitment fee applicable to unused Revolver amounts, and provides as a condition to credit extensions that the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (giving effect to the credit extension) is not greater than 2.25:1.
Solely with respect to the period commencing on the date of the Amendment and ending March 31, 2016 (the “Accommodation Period”), the Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to (i) limit the amount that may be borrowed under the revolving credit facility to $20.0 million, (ii) require maintenance of Minimum Cash (as defined in the Amendment) of at least $10.0 million, (iii) restrict certain acquisitions and investments and certain payments and distributions otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, and (iv) suspend for the Accommodation Period the exclusion of up to $25 million in unrestricted cash for purposes of calculating the maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
A copy of the Amendment is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2, and it is incorporated by reference as though it were fully set forth herein. The foregoing summary description of the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby is not intended to be complete, and it is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment.
