Exhibit 99.1
Apax Series B investment
On December 4, 2019, we announced that an affiliate (the “Apax Investor”) of Apax Partners (“Apax”) would make an investment in us in an amount of up to $400.0 million. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2019 (the “Investment Agreement”), the Apax Investor initially purchased $200.0 million of our Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) in an issuance that closed on May 7, 2020 (the “Apax Series A Investment”). The closing of the purchase by the Apax Investor of $200.0 million of our Series B convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) is scheduled to occur on April 6, 2021 (the “Apax Series B Investment”). After giving effect to the closing of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock investments and the Spin-Off, Apax’s ownership in us on an as-converted basis is approximately 12.5%.
In connection with the closing of the Apax Series A Investment, we elected Jason A. Wright, who is a designee of Apax, to our board of directors as the Initial Investor Director Designee (as defined in the Investment Agreement). Following the closing of the Apax Series B Investment, Apax and we will mutually agree on the Initial Independent Designee (as defined in the Investment Agreement), and we will use our reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Independent Designee to be confirmed by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of our board of directors and be elected to our board of directors no later than 90 days following the closing of the Apax Series B Investment.
Amendment to credit agreement
Concurrently with the the offering of our convertible senior notes (the “notes”), we will amend the Credit Agreement, dated June 29, 2017, by and among Verint and the lenders from time to time party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “2017 Credit Agreement”), which is comprised of a $425.0 million term loan maturing on June 29, 2024 (the “2017 Term Loan”) and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on June 29, 2022 (the “2017 Revolving Credit Facility”) (as amended, the “Amended Credit Facility”) and repay approximately $260.1 million in amounts outstanding under the 2017 Term Loan. As of January 31, 2021, approximately $410.1 million was outstanding under the 2017 Term Loan. The Amended Credit Facility will provide us with the ability to borrow up to $300.0 million pursuant to the revolving credit facility which, as of the closing date, will be undrawn. The revolving credit facility will mature in five years and permit incremental facilities equal to the sum of (x) $250.0 million plus (y) an unlimited amount subject to the satisfaction of a 3.0x first lien net leverage ratio test. The terms of the Amended Credit Facility will be substantially the same as the 2017 Credit Agreement except that it will include updates to certain of the terms, covenant baskets and other provisions to give effect to the current size and scope of our business.
