Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 11, 2018, Teradata Corporation (“Teradata”) refinanced its existing revolving credit facility and term loan into new credit facilities as follows:
Revolving Credit Agreement. Teradata entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as AdministrativeAgent, an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as an L/C Issuer and Syndication Agent, and Citibank, N.A., MUFG Bank, LTD., U.S. Bank National Association, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, asCo-Documentation Agents and the other lenders party thereto (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”).
The Revolving Credit Agreement provides that Teradata may borrow, during the five-year term of the agreement, on a revolving credit basis, up to a maximum amount outstanding at any time of $400 million. In addition, under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, Teradata from time to time and subject to certain conditions may increase the lending commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount up to an additional $200 million, to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional commitments. All outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Agreement are due and payable on June 11, 2023, unless extended by agreement of the parties for up to two additionalone-year periods. The Revolving Credit Agreement replaces a similar revolving credit agreement in the maximum principal amount of $400 million entered into by Teradata in 2015, which was terminated effective with the execution of the new Revolving Credit Agreement.
The outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Agreement bears interest at a floating rate based upon, at Teradata’s option, a negotiated base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus, in each case, a margin based on Teradata’s leverage ratio.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are unsecured, but are guaranteed by certain of Teradata’s material domestic subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, default provisions and affirmative and negative covenants including, among others, covenants regarding the maintenance of certain financial ratios, covenants relating to financial reporting, compliance with laws, subsidiary indebtedness, limitations on liens, sale and leaseback transactions, sales of assets, mergers and other fundamental changes involving the company, asset sales, entry into certain restrictive agreements and investments.
Teradata has other relationships with the parties to the Revolving Credit Agreement, each of which also is a lender to Teradata with respect to the term loan described below.
The foregoing description of the Revolving Credit Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Term Loan Agreement.Teradata also entered into a Term Loan Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as AdministrativeAgent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Citibank, N.A., MUFG Bank, LTD., U.S. Bank National Association, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, asCo-Documentation Agents, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan Agreement”) under which the lenders made an unsecured term loan to Teradata in the principal amount of $500 million. Proceeds from the term loan plus additional cash on hand were used to repay the remaining balance of an existing term loan in the amount of $525 million. Under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement, Teradata is entitled, on one or more occasions prior to the maturity of the loan, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to request additional term loans under the Term Loan Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional term loans.
The term loan is payable in quarterly installments, commencing on June 30, 2019 (with 1.25% of the initial principal amount due on each of the first eight payment dates; 2.50% of the initial principal amount due on each of the next four payment dates; and 5.0% of the initial principal amount due on each of the next three payment dates) with all remaining principal due on June 11, 2023. The outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Agreement bears interest at a floating rate based upon, at Teradata’s option, a negotiated base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus, in each case, a margin based on the leverage ratio of Teradata.
Certain of Teradata’s material domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations of Teradata under the Term Loan Agreement.
The Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, default provisions and affirmative and negative covenants including, among others, covenants regarding the maintenance of certain financial ratios, covenants relating to financial reporting, compliance with laws, subsidiary indebtedness, limitations on liens, sale and leaseback transactions, sales of assets, mergers and other fundamental changes involving the company, asset sales, entry into certain restrictive agreements and investments.
The foregoing description of the Term Loan Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Term Loan Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.2 to this Current Report on Form8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, on June 12, 2018, Teradata executed afive-year interest rate swap with a $500 million initial notional amount in order to hedge the floating rate interest on the above-described term loan. The notional amount of the hedge will step-down according to the amortization schedule of the term loan. As a result of the swap, Teradata’s fixed rate on the term loan equals 2.86%, plus the applicable leverage-based margin as defined in the Term Loan agreement. As of the execution date, theall-in fixed rate is 4.36%, versus theall-in floating rate of 3.55%.
