Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 29, 2020, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment and restatement of its existing $800 million fourth amended and restated credit agreement (as previously amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 27, 2017, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “Restated Credit Agreement”). Among other changes, the Restated Credit Agreement amends the Existing Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date from April 27, 2022 to October 29, 2025.
Revolving loans under the Restated Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate based on either (i) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) one-half of one percent in excess of the federal funds rate, (b) the Administrative Agent’s “prime rate”, or (c) the sum of one percent plus one-month LIBOR) plus a margin of between 10.0 and 60.0 basis points depending on the senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of the Company or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of between 110.0 and 160.0 basis points depending on the senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of the Company. At the current Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of BBB/Baa2, respectively, the applicable margin for revolving loans subject to LIBOR is 140 basis points. In addition, the Company will pay a commitment fee of between 15.0 and 40.0 basis points on the entire facility, also depending on the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt ratings.
Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including, among other things, limits on the creation of liens, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness, restrictions on investments, dispositions and transactions with affiliates, limitations on dividends and other restricted payments, a minimum net worth and a maximum debt to capitalization ratio. The Restated Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the interest rate on all outstanding obligations may be increased, payments of all outstanding loans may be accelerated and/or the lenders' commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the Restated Credit Agreement shall automatically become immediately due and payable, and the lenders' commitments will automatically terminate. Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the financial covenants remain essentially the same as under the Existing Credit Agreement.
The Restated Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
