Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 7, 2017 (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GMS Inc. (the “Company”), GYP Holdings III Corp. (“GYP III”), entered into a Second Amendment to First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), among GYP III, GYP Holdings II Corp. (“Holdings”), the other guarantors party thereto, and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and as 2017 Incremental First Lien Lender (as defined in the Second Amendment), which amended the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2014 (as amended by that certain Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment, dated as of September 27, 2016, and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, the “Credit Agreement”), among GYP III, Holdings, each lender from time to time party thereto, and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and as collateral agent. The Second Amendment provides for a new first lien term loan facility under the Credit Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $578 million due in April 2023 that bears interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR, with a 1.00% floor, plus 3.00%, representing a fifty basis point improvement compared to the interest rate of the existing first lien term loan facility under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to giving effect to the Second Amendment. Net proceeds from the new first lien term loan facility were used to repay GYP III’s existing first lien term loan facility of $478 million under the Credit Agreement and approximately $94 million of loans under its asset based revolving credit facility as well as related expenses. Except as described above, all other terms of the Credit Agreement remain the same.
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not propose to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
