Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 5, 2022, RBC Bearings Incorporated (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. (“RBCA”), entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Amendment”). The Amendment amends that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021, by and among the Company, RBCA, the Agent, the lending institutions party thereto and the other agents and entities party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) governing the Company’s $500,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and $1,300,000,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility,” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Facilities”).
The Company entered into the Amendment in order to, among other things, replace the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark interest rate for loans under the Credit Agreement with the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (SOFR). Pursuant to the Amendment, borrowings under the Facilities denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA. The Facilities are subject to a SOFR floor of 0.00%.
Capitalized terms in this Item 1.01, unless defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement. Except as amended by the Amendment, the Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
