On February 22, 2021, Myriad Genetics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Myriad”) entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”), by and among Myriad, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), to the senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Amended Facility”), by and among Myriad, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and the Administrative Agent. The Amended Facility was entered into on December 23, 2016 and amended on July 31, 2018. On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Amended Facility, which waived the Company’s compliance with certain covenants and modified the interest rate and other terms during a modification period from March 31, 2020 through June 30, 2021 (the “Modification Period”).
Amendment No. 3 modified the Amended Facility as follows:
•extended the Modification Period established pursuant to Amendment No. 2 for an additional year, through June 30, 2022, and revised certain negative covenants in connection with the extension;
•restricted the Company from borrowing under the revolving credit facility if unrestricted cash and cash equivalents exceed $150.0 million, unless such borrowings are in connection with acquisitions;
•reduced the revolving commitments to $300.0 million, with a further reduction to $250.0 million by September 30, 2021;
•provided for further reductions to the revolving commitments, or mandatory prepayments of outstanding revolving loans, in the event of certain asset sales;
•waived compliance with the leverage ratio and the interest coverage ratio covenants through the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and also lowered the minimum liquidity covenant applicable through such quarter;
•removed the minimum EBITDA covenant added pursuant to Amendment No. 2;
•permitted the Company to change its fiscal year end to December 31; and
•permitted the Company to keep the net cash proceeds of material asset sales received above a certain dollar thresholds without corresponding mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions.
The foregoing description of Amendment No. 3 is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of Amendment No. 3, as reflected in the Amended Facility, as amended, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
