Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 25, 2019, Orthofix Medical Inc. (the “Company”), certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Orthofix Inc., Orthofix Spinal Implants Inc., Orthofix International B.V. and Orthofix III B.V. (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), as borrowers, and certain material subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as Administrative Agent, and certain lender parties thereto. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million secured revolving credit facility maturing on October 25, 2024 (the “Facility”), and amends and restates the existing $125 million secured revolving credit facility evidenced by that certain First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2018, among the Company, certain of subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers, the certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, JPMorgan, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto. As of October 28, 2019, the Borrowers have not made any borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement may be used for, among other things, working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (including permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of dividends and other distributions). The Facility is available in US Dollars with up to $150 million of the Facility available to be borrowed in Euros and Pounds Sterling (the “Agreed Currencies”). The Facility further permits up to $50 million to be utilized for the issuance of letters of credit in the Agreed Currencies. The Borrowers have the ability to increase the amount of the Facility, which increases may take the form of increases to the revolving credit commitments or the issuance of new term A loans, by an aggregate amount of up to the greater of $150 million or an incremental amount such that the total amount of the Facility does not exceed 350% of consolidated EBITDA of the Company (as determined for the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended for which financial statements are available), upon satisfaction of customary conditions precedent for such increases or incremental loans and receipt of additional commitments by one or more existing or new lenders.
Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a floating rate, which will be, at the Borrowers’ option, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, or a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% (in each case subject to adjustment based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio). An unused fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.25% (subject to adjustment based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio) is payable quarterly in arrears based on the daily amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s revolving credit commitments under the Facility. Fees are payable on outstanding letters of credit at a rate equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR loans, plus certain customary fees payable solely to the issuer of the letter of credit.
Certain of the Company’s existing and future material subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are required to guarantee the repayment of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Borrowers and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the personal property assets of the Borrowers and each of the Guarantors, including accounts receivables, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, inventory, equipment and equity interests in their respective subsidiaries.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company on a consolidated basis to maintain, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, a total net leverage ratio of not more than 3.5 to 1.0 (which ratio can be permitted to increase to 4.0 to 1.0 for no more than 4 fiscal quarters following a material acquisition) and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Facility may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company, the Borrowers and the Guarantors. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the lenders and such representations and warranties should not be relied on by any other person, including investors. In addition, such representations and warranties (i) have been qualified by disclosures made to the lenders in connection with the agreement, (ii) are subject to the materiality standards contained in the agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors and (iii) were made only as of the date of the agreement or such other date as is specified in the agreement.
The foregoing description does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
