Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 9, 2020, ANSYS, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a $375 million unsecured term loan facility with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The term loan facility will be advanced by the lenders thereunder to the Company to finance the Company’s previously announced and pending acquisition of Analytical Graphics, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 23, 2020, by and among the Company, Voyager Merger Sub, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, Analytical Graphics, Inc. and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely as the shareholders’ representative (the “Acquisition”). The term loan will be funded in full upon the closing of the Acquisition and will mature on November 1, 2024. Principal on the term loan will be payable on the last business day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2022 at a rate of 5% per annum, increasing to 10% per annum with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023.
Borrowings under the term loan facility will accrue interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin or at the base rate plus an applicable margin. The base rate is the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.500%, (ii) the Bank of America prime rate and (iii) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.000%. The applicable margin for borrowings is a percentage per annum based on the lower of (1) a pricing level determined by the Company’s then-current consolidated leverage ratio and (2) a pricing level determined by the Company’s debt ratings (if such debt ratings exist). The term loan facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.
The term loan facility also contains a financial covenant requiring the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not in excess of 3.50 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter (for the four-quarter period ending on such date) with an opportunity for a temporary increase in such consolidated leverage ratio to 4.00 to 1.00 upon the consummation of certain qualified acquisitions for which the aggregate consideration is at least $250 million.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
