(“CCC” or the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of EvolutionIQ Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EvolutionIQ”), pursuant to that certain agreement and plan of merger and reorganization dated as of December 19, 2024, by and among the Company, EvolutionIQ, CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of CCC (“CCCIS”), Edison Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CCCIS (“Merger Sub I”), Edison Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CCCIS (“Merger Sub II”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the EvolutionIQ equityholders (the “Merger Agreement”). The events described in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) are related to the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”).
| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Credit Agreement Amendment
On January 6, 2024, CCCIS, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings, LLC (f/k/a CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings, Inc.), together with certain of its subsidiaries acting as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Cypress Intermediate Holdings II LLC (f/k/a Cypress Intermediate Holdings II, Inc.) (“Holdings” acting as a parent guarantor (together with the Subsidiary Guarantors, the “Guarantors”), entered into the third amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement” as amended from time to time, including by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among CCCIS, Holdings, Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Swingline Lender, and each lender and issuing bank from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, CCCIS incurred incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $225 million (the “Incremental Term Loans”). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of the assets and all interests of the Guarantors. A portion of the net proceeds from the incurrence of the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement were used to consummate the Acquisition.
The maturity date of the Incremental Term Loans is the same as the existing term loans, which is September 21, 2028.
The Incremental Term Loans are repayable in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans (subject to certain adjustments from time to time), with the balance payable at maturity.
As of the Closing, the applicable interest rates for the Incremental Term Loans will be as follows:
| (1) | 1.50%, in the case of base rate loans, and 2.50%, in the case of SOFR (or Euribor or SONIA) loans, if the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is greater than 2.50:1.00, and |
| (2) | 1.25%, in the case of base rate loans, and 2.25%, in the case of SOFR (or Euribor or SONIA) loans, if the First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.50:1.00. |
The Amendment and the terms of the Incremental Term Loans are also subject to certain customary “Market Flex” provisions in the form of price protection upon syndication of the loan, which, if utilized, could alter certain of the terms outlined herein.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is a summary only, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.
