ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On August 4, 2005, HEICO Corporation (the "Company") entered into a $130
million Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement ("Credit Facility") with
a bank syndicate, which expires in August 2010. The Credit Facility includes a
feature that will allow the Company to increase the Credit Facility, at its
option, up to an aggregate amount of $175 million through increased commitments
from existing lenders or the addition of new lenders. The Credit Facility may be
used for working capital and general corporate needs of the Company, including
letters of credit, capital expenditures and to finance acquisitions (generally
not in excess of an aggregate total of $50 million over any trailing
twelve-month period without the requisite approval of the bank syndicate).
Advances under the Credit Facility accrue interest at the Company's choice of
the "Base Rate" or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus applicable
margins (based on the Company's ratio of total funded debt to earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, minority interest, and non-cash
charges or "leverage ratio"). The Base Rate is the higher of (i) the Prime Rate
or (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus .50%. The applicable margins range from .75%
to 2.00% for LIBOR based borrowings and from .00% to .50% for Base Rate based
borrowings. A fee is charged on the amount of the unused commitment ranging from
..20% to .50% (depending on the Company's leverage ratio). The Credit Facility
also includes a $10 million swingline sublimit and a $15 million sublimit for
letters of credit. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all assets
other than real property of the Company and its subsidiaries and contains
covenants that require, among other things, the maintenance of the leverage
ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio as well as minimum net worth
requirements. A copy of the Credit Facility is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.
As of August 4, 2005, the Company had $20 million of loans outstanding
under the Credit Facility and $2.1 million of letters of credit. The information
set forth above under Item 1.01, "Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement,"
is incorporated herein by reference.
