TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 22, 2007, Wright Express Corporation (the Company) entered into a Credit Agreement (the
Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, as borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer, Banc of America Securities LLC and SunTrust
Robinson Humphrey, a division of SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint
book managers, SunTrust Bank, Inc., as syndication agent, BMO Capital Markets, KeyBank National
Association, and TD Banknorth, N.A., as co-documentation agents, and the other lenders party
thereto (the Lenders). The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $350 million unsecured
revolving credit facility with a $100 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $10 million
sublimit for swingline loans. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to
increase the facility by up to an additional $100 million.
Proceeds
from the new credit facility were used to refinance the Companys existing indebtedness
under its credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the 2005 Facility) and may also
be used for working capital purposes,
acquisitions, payment of dividends and other restricted payments, refinancing of indebtedness, and
other general corporate purposes.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at
a rate equal to, at the Companys option, (a) the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate, as
defined, plus a margin of 0.45% to 1.125% based on the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness of
the Company and its subsidiaries to consolidated EBITDA or (b) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate
plus 0.50% or the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., plus a margin of up to 0.125%
based on the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries to
consolidated EBITDA. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay a quarterly commitment fee at a
rate per annum ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% of the daily unused portion of the credit facility. Any
outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement mature on May 22, 2012, unless extended pursuant to
the terms of the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and
negative covenants. Affirmative covenants include, among others, with respect to the Company and
its subsidiaries in certain instances, financial and other reporting, payment of obligations,
preservation of existence, and maintenance of properties and insurance. Negative covenants
include, among others, with respect to the Company, and its subsidiaries in certain instances,
limitations on liens and investments, limitations on incurrence or guarantees of indebtedness,
limitations on mergers, consolidations, asset sales and acquisitions, limitations on dividends and
other restricted payments, limitations on affiliate transactions, and limitations on sale and
leaseback transactions. The Credit Agreement also requires that the Company comply with certain
financial and other covenants, including requirements that the Company maintain at the end of each
fiscal quarter the following financial ratios:
|
|
|
a consolidated EBIT to consolidated interest charges ratio of no less than 3.00 to 1.00,
measured quarterly; and |
|
|
|
|
a consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio of no more than 3.00 to
1.00, measured quarterly. |
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, non-payment of
principal, interest or other amounts when due, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of
representations and warranties in any material respect, cross-defaults with other indebtedness,
certain undischarged judgments, the occurrence of certain ERISA or bankruptcy or insolvency events,
the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and the occurrence of
certain regulatory or other enforcement actions against the Companys subsidiary Wright Express
Financial Services Corporation, a Utah industrial bank. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders may declare the loans
and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.
The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Wright Express Fueling
Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (WEFS). In accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement, the Company and WEFS executed a Guaranty, dated as of May 22, 2007 (the
Guaranty), in favor of Bank of America, N.A. and the Lenders.

existing indebtedness under its credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., among others. All balances owed under the 2005 Facility have been paid and the Companys obligations
