Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Sixth Amendment of the Credit Agreement.
On August 21, 2015, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“FIS”), the other financial institutions party thereto as lenders, certain financial institutions as swing line lenders and letter of credit issuers and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), entered into an Amendment Agreement to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 21, 2015 (the “Amendment Agreement”). Under the Amendment Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 18, 2007 (as amended and restated as of June 29, 2010, supplemented by the Joinder Agreement dated as of July 16, 2010, and further amended and restated as of December 19, 2011, as of March 30, 2012, as of April 23, 2013 and as of December 18, 2014), among FIS and certain subsidiaries of FIS party thereto from time to time, as borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and certain other parties thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), was further amended by the Amendment Agreement dated as of August 21, 2015 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”).
The Amendment Agreement amends the Existing Credit Agreement to: (i) adjust the maximum leverage ratio covenant (the “Maximum Leverage Ratio”) to (x) increase the Maximum Leverage Ratio to 4.25x as of the closing date (the “SunGard Closing Date”) of FIS’s pending acquisition of SunGard, a Delaware corporation (the “SunGard Acquisition”) with step-downs to 3.50x thereafter and (y) provide that any debt raised to finance the SunGard Acquisition shall be ignored for purposes of calculating the Maximum Leverage Ratio until the SunGard Closing Date (or, if the SunGard Closing Date will not occur, the 35th day after the termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 14, 2015, filed as Exhibit No. 2.1 to the 8-K filed by FIS on August 12, 2015); (ii) specify that the borrowing of revolving loans to finance the SunGard Acquisition on the Closing Date shall be subject to limited conditionality customary in acquisition financings; (iii) provide that, under certain circumstances, if the SunGard Notes remain in place following the SunGard Closing Date of the SunGard Acquisition, the issuer of the SunGard Notes will provide a springing guaranty of the Amended Credit Agreement that will become effective on the 90th day after the SunGard Closing Date; and (iv) make certain other revisions to the Existing Credit Agreement.
All loans under the Amended Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate that varies according to a ratings-based pricing grid. In addition, the revolving credit commitments are subject to a commitment fee on the unused portion of such commitments based on a ratings-based pricing grid.
The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual terms of such documents, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 (with respect to the Amendment Agreement and, through its Annex A, the Amended Credit Agreement) to this report and are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
