| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Amendment No. 5 to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On March 31, 2020, Harsco Corporation (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2016 (as the same has been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to March 31, 2020, and as further amended by Amendment No. 5, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and as collateral agent, the lenders party thereto, and the other parties thereto. Amendment No. 5 establishes a delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”; the loans thereunder, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $280.0 million. In addition, Amendment No. 5 amends certain terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility applicable to all tranches of loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility including by (i) increasing the levels applicable to the total net leverage ratio covenant and (ii) adjusting certain negative covenants, including through the modification or addition of various covenant baskets.
The Delayed Draw Term Loans are established as an additional tranche of loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and, other than certain terms described below and in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, are subject to the same terms as are applicable to the other tranches of loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Delayed Draw Term Loans bear interest at a rate per annum pursuant to a total net leverage ratio-based grid ranging from 50 to 125 basis points over base rate or 150 to 225 basis points over LIBOR, subject to a 1% floor. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility is subject to a ticking fee from but not including the date that is 45 days after March 31, 2020. The Delayed Draw Term Loans are subject to quarterly amortization of principal of 1.25% (beginning June 30, 2021, up to and including March 31, 2022) and 2.50% (beginning June 30, 2022 and thereafter). The Delayed Draw Term Loans mature on June 28, 2024. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, subject to customary funding conditions, will be available to be drawn to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Company’s previously announced acquisition of Stericycle, Inc.’s Environmental Solutions Business.
The foregoing description of Amendment No. 5 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the agreement. A copy of Amendment No. 5 is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein.
Certain of the agents and lenders providing funding or other services under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, as well as certain of their affiliates, have, from time to time, provided various financial advisory, commercial and investment banking services to the Company and/or its affiliates for which they have received customary fees and commissions.
