| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 7, 2010, Jabil Circuit, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured five-year credit agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $1.0 billion, subject to potential increases up to $1.3 billion (the “Facility”). The Agreement was entered into among the Company; the initial lenders named therein; Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent; and The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC and Bank of America, N.A., as documentation agents. Some or all of the lenders under the Facility and their affiliates have various other relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, loans, letter of credit and bank guarantee facilities, investment banking and trust services. The Company and some of its subsidiaries have entered into foreign exchange contracts and other derivative arrangements with certain of the lenders and their affiliates. In addition, many if not most of the agents and lenders under the Facility held positions as agent and/or lender under the Company’s Existing Credit Agreement, as defined below. The revolving credit portion of the Facility terminates on December 7, 2015. Interest and fees on Facility advances are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service and Moody’s Investor Service. Interest is charged at a rate equal to either 0.40% to 1.50% above the base rate or 1.40% to 2.50% above the Eurocurrency rate, where the base rate represents the greatest of Citibank, N.A.’s prime rate, 0.50% above the federal funds rate, and 1.0% above one-month LIBOR, and the Eurocurrency rate represents adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period, each as more fully described in the Agreement. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on the amount of outstanding letters of credit. Based on the Company’s current non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service and Moody’s Investor Service, the current rate of interest would be 0.850% above the base rate or 1.850% above the Eurocurrency rate. The Facility includes various covenants, limitations and events of default customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers. As of the date of filing this Current Report on Form 8-K, draws in the approximate amount of $300 million in revolving credit advances have been made and are outstanding under the Facility.
The Agreement amends and restates the Company’s five-year credit agreement dated July 19, 2007, as amended (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), which established a revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $800.0 million, subject to potential increases up to $1.0 billion, and a term loan in the amount of $400.0 million, and was to terminate on July 19, 2012. The Existing Credit Agreement was entered into among the Company; the initial lenders named therein; Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent; and The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of America, N.A., UBS Loan Finance LLC and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as documentation agents.
Some or all of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement and their affiliates have various other relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, loans, letter of credit and bank guarantee facilities, investment banking and trust services. The Company and some of its subsidiaries have entered into foreign exchange contracts and other derivative arrangements with certain of the lenders and their affiliates. In addition, many if not most of the agents and lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement hold positions as agent and/or lender under the Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its next fiscal quarter.
