| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 14, 2016, EVERTEC Group, LLC (“EVERTEC, LLC” or the “Borrower”), the main operating subsidiary of EVERTEC, Inc. (“EVERTEC” or the “Company”), together with certain other direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a second amendment and waiver (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2013 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among EVERTEC, LLC, EVERTEC INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, LLC, the lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Agent”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, swingline lender and L/C issuer.
The Amendment extends the deadline for the Borrower to provide to the Agent the required financial statements and audit opinion for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Financial Information”) until September 15, 2016 (the “Financial Reporting Deadline”).
In addition, the Amendment potentially extends the deadline for the Borrower to provide to the Agent the financial statements for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2016 (the “First Quarter Financial Information”) and June 30, 2016 ( the “Second Quarter Financial Information” and, together with the First Quarter Financial Information, the “Quarterly Information”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the deadline for providing the Quarterly Information is extended until the Financial Reporting Deadline, subject to the condition that the Company publicly issues an earnings release with respect to the preceding quarterly period no later than May 16, 2016 and August 15, 2016, as applicable. However, in the event that the Borrower provides the 2015 Financial Information to the Agent prior to the Financial Reporting Deadline, then (i) the deadline for providing the First Quarter Financial Information will instead be extended to the later of May 15, 2016 and the date that the 2015 Financial Information was provided to the Agent and (ii) the deadline for providing the Second Quarter Financial Information will instead be extended to the later of August 14, 2016 and the date that the 2015 Financial Information was provided to the Agent. The Company’s public filing of periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, as applicable, that contain the reporting information required to be provided to the Agent under the terms of the Credit Agreement satisfies Borrower’s obligation to deliver such information to the Agent.
The Amendment correspondingly modifies the date of delivery and content of various certificates and other information that must be provided to the Agent in connection with delivery of the 2015 Financial Information and the Quarterly Information. The Amendment also waives any default or potential default, as the case may be, arising from the Company’s delayed delivery of its budget for the fiscal year 2015 or arising out of the errors and estimated restatement impacts described, in all material respects, in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 23, 2016.
The Amendment provides for an increase in the interest rate applicable to the loans under the Credit Agreement by 50 basis points in the event that the 2015 Financial Information and the First Quarter Financial Information is not provided to the Agent by May 30, 2016. The applicable interest rates will increase an additional 25 basis points if such information is not delivered to the Agent by July 15, 2016. Furthermore, until such materials are delivered to the Agent, no Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) can be made by the Borrower to the Company to fund any repurchases of the Company’s common stock or to fund any payment of dividends by the Company other than quarterly dividends on the outstanding common stock of the Company in an amount not to exceed $0.10 per share. The Borrower paid each lender that consented to the amendment a fee equal to 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding term loans and revolving commitments held by such lender.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1and is incorporated herein by reference.
