Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 5, 2008, the First Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated June 1, 2007 (“Credit Agreement”), between TechTeam Global, Inc. (“TechTeam” or the “Company”) and the lenders thereunder, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and LaSalle Bank Midwest, N.A. (the “Lenders”), became effective. A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Amendment increases the Lenders’ commitment under the Credit Agreement by $15,000,000 to total available credit of $55,000,000. The Amendment modified the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement through the modification of the Applicable Rate added to the Eurocurrency rate for U.S. dollars, which was modified from a range of 0.75% — 1.5% to a range of 0.95% - - 1.45%, determined by the ratio (the “Leverage Ratio”) of (a) the Company’s consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents held by the Company’s U.S.-based entities in excess of $5 million to (b) the Company’s consolidated trailing 12-month EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). The unused commitment fee increased from a range of 0.1% to 0.25% to a range of 0.15% to 0.25%, determined by the Company’s Leverage Ratio.
The Amendment also modified the financial covenants relating to the Leverage Ratio, requiring the Company to maintain on a rolling four-quarter basis a maximum Leverage Ratio as of March 31, 2008 of 3.25 to 1 (down from 3.75 to 1), and 3.0 to 1 for any fiscal quarter thereafter. The Company paid a one-time closing fee to the Lenders of $25,000.
