Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 6, 2006, Matrix Service Company (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that on November 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company as Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank (the “Agent”), J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. as Sole Bookrunner and Sole Lead Arranger and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wachovia Bank, N.A., Amegy Bank National Association, LaSalle Bank National Association and BMO Capital Markets Finance, Inc. as the Lenders. A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan commitment of up to $75 million. The Company may elect to increase the total capacity under the Credit Agreement up to $100 million, with the Agent’s approval. At the Company’s option, amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at either the “Alternate Base Rate” or an “Adjusted LIBO Rate,” plus, in each case, an “Applicable Rate.” The Applicable Rate will range from 0% to 0.75% in the case of an Alternate Base Rate revolving loan and from 1.50% to 2.25% in the case of an Adjusted LIBO Rate revolving loan, in each case based on the Company’s most recently reported “Senior Leverage Ratio.” The Company had no fundings under the facility but utilized approximately $11.0 million of capacity for letters of credit upon the closing of the Credit Agreement on November 30, 2006.
The Credit Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, such as limitations on the creation of new indebtedness and on certain liens, restrictions on certain transactions and payments and maintenance of a total leverage ratio, a senior leverage ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio and a cash interest coverage ratio. A default under the Credit Agreement may be triggered by various events, including when a representation or warranty in the Credit Agreement proves to have been incorrect when made or deemed made, a failure to make payments of principal or interest when due under the Credit Agreement and a failure to observe certain covenants in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by a number of the Company’s subsidiaries and is also secured by a lien on all assets and rights and interests in or to property of the Company and a number of its subsidiaries.
The foregoing summary description of the Credit Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Credit Agreement.
Certain of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and/or their affiliates have provided, from time to time, and may continue to provide, commercial banking, investment banking, financial and other services to the Company and/or its affiliates for which the Company and/or its affiliates have paid, and expect to pay, customary fees.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective November 30, 2006, in connection with the closing of the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its existing credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2005 Credit Agreement”) among the Company as Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. as Sole Bookrunner and Sole Lead Arranger and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wachovia Bank, N.A. and Ableco Finance LLC as the Lenders. The 2005 Credit Agreement was scheduled to expire in December 2008. All outstanding letter of credit obligations under the 2005 Credit Agreement were reissued under the Credit Agreement. There were no outstanding borrowings at November 30, 2006 under the 2005 Credit Facility.
Certain of the lenders under the 2005 Credit Agreement and/or their affiliates have provided, from time to time, and may continue to provide, commercial banking, investment banking, financial and other services to the Company and/or its affiliates for which the Company and/or its affiliates have paid, and expect to pay, customary fees.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The discussion of the credit agreement in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The Credit Agreement prohibits the Company from paying cash dividends on its capital stock during any fiscal year in an amount which, when added to all other dividends paid during such fiscal year, would exceed 50% of cumulative net income of the Company for such fiscal year to such date.
