| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On September 30, 2008, our wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, ResMed Limited, agreed to amend and restate the Syndicated Facility Agreement we previously disclosed in our Form 8-K filed June 14, 2006. The amended and restated agreement (“First Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement”) with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Sydney Branch as financier and HSBC Bank Australia Limited as facility agent and security trustee, provides for an additional Tranche D term loan facility in the amount of 50 million US dollars. The financier has the right to assign part or all of its rights and/or obligations under the First Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement to other financial institutions.
The additional $50 million loan facility will be used for general corporate purposes. The additional loan facility bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in US dollars, plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of ResMed Inc. and subsidiaries for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire principal amount of the additional loan facility must be repaid in full by September 30, 2009.
ResMed Limited’s obligations under the additional loan facility are subject to guarantee agreements, one on behalf of ResMed Inc. and its US subsidiary ResMed Corp., and another on behalf of ResMed’s non-US subsidiaries ResMed SAS, ResMed GmbH & Co. KG, ResMed (UK) Limited and Take Air Medical Handels-GmbH.
The First Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that we maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum debt service coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA and a minimum tangible net worth. The entire principal amount of the additional facility and any accrued but unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable in the event of the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the First Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement, which includes, among other items: failure to make payments when due; breaches of representations; warranties or covenants; the occurrence of certain insolvency events; the occurrence of an event or change which could have a material adverse effect on us; and if ResMed Inc. ceases to control ResMed Limited, ResMed Corp., ResMed SAS, ResMed GmbH & Co. KG, ResMed (UK) Limited, Take Air Medical Handels-GmbH or Saime SAS.
The description above is qualified by reference to the full text of the First Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement and related material documents attached as Exhibits and incorporated here by reference.
