Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 5, 2014, Key Energy Services, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) among the Company, each lender from time to time party to the Credit Agreement (as defined below), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Capital One, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and DnB NOR Bank ASA, as Co-Documentation Agents. The Amendment, which is effective as of December 5, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), amends certain provisions of the Company’s credit agreement, dated as of March 31, 2011, as amended July 27, 2011 (together with all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) consisting of a revolving credit facility, letter of credit sub-facility and swing line facility of up to an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, all of which will mature no later than March 31, 2016. The Senior Secured Credit Facility and the obligations thereunder are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

Among other changes, the Amendment decreased the total commitments by the lenders under the credit facility from $550.0 million to $400.0 million on the Effective Date, which amount will automatically be further reduced from $400.0 million to $350.0 million on July 1, 2015.

The Amendment also modifies the Senior Secured Credit Facility by, among other things:

 

    amending the requirement that the Company maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 by changing the minimum required ratio to the following minimum required ratio during each corresponding period:

 

Fiscal Quarter Ending

  

Ratio

June 30, 2011 through September 30, 2014    3.00 to 1.00
December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015    2.75 to 1.00
December 31, 2015 and thereafter    3.00 to 1.00

 

    amending the requirement that the Company maintain a debt to capitalization ratio of consolidated total funded indebtedness to total capitalization of 45% or less by changing the maximum required ratio to the following percentages during each corresponding period:

 

Fiscal Quarter Ending

  

Ratio

June 30, 2011 through March 31, 2012    50%
June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012    47.5%
December 31, 2012 through September 20, 2014    45%
December 31, 2014 and thereafter    55%

 

    modifying the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to allow for the add back of (i) all expenses incurred during the second and third quarters of 2014 related to the Company’s compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA) and (ii) up to $50 million of additional expenses incurred in relation to the Company’s FCPA compliance commencing in the fourth quarter of 2014; and


    modifying certain representations, warranties and covenants regarding the Company’s compliance with anti-corruption laws and sanctions.

Except as amended by the Amendment, all other provisions of the Senior Secured Credit Facility remain in full force and effect.

The description of the Amendment contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
