Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 22, 2017 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), Open Text Corporation (“OpenText”) entered into a Repricing Amendment and Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) by and among OpenText, as guarantor, Open Text GXS ULC, as borrower (the “Borrower”), the other guarantors party thereto, each of the lenders party thereto and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”).
Amendment No. 2 amends the Credit Agreement dated as of January 16, 2014 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of June 16, 2016, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, OpenText and the other domestic guarantors party thereto, the Agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto, to provide for, among other things, a reduction of the interest rate margin applicable to the outstanding Term B loans from 2.50% to 2.00%, with respect to LIBOR advances (with the LIBOR floor reduced from 0.75% to 0.00%), and from 1.50% to 1.00%, with respect to ABR advances.
The Term B loans amortize in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount thereof, with the balance payable on the date that is seven years after the date of the Credit Agreement. The Term B loans are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the guarantors and are secured by a first charge on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and the guarantors on a pari passu basis with Open Text’s revolving credit facility.
The foregoing description of Amendment No. 2 is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 2, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
