Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Incremental Credit Facility
On August 22, 2012, NCR Corporation (“NCR”) entered into an Incremental Facility Agreement with and among the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), as the administrative agent (the “Incremental Facility Agreement”). The Incremental Facility Agreement relates to, and was entered into pursuant to, that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2011 and amended as of December 21, 2011, with and among the lenders party thereto and JPMCB, as the administrative agent (the “Original Credit Agreement”), as amended and restated as described below under the heading “Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement” (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"). The Incremental Facility Agreement supplements the amounts available to NCR under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by $300,000,000 by establishing a $150,000,000 new tranche of term loan commitments and a $150,000,000 new tranche of revolving loan commitments, bringing the total sum available to NCR under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Incremental Facility Agreement to $1,700,000,000.
Any term loans made pursuant to the Incremental Facility Agreement will have terms and conditions identical to term loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement except for the amortization schedule and maturity date. Such term loans will be due and payable on August 22, 2017. Repayment will occur on the last day of each March, June, September and December, beginning with March 31, 2014. Each payment will be $3,750,000, and the final payment due at maturity will be $97,500,000.
Revolving loans made pursuant to the Incremental Facility Agreement will have terms and conditions identical to revolving loans and other extensions of credit under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement except for incremental fees and maturity date. Such revolving loans mature on August 22, 2017.
Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement
On August 22, 2012, NCR entered into a Second Amendment to the Original Credit Agreement with and among the lenders party thereto and JPMCB, as the administrative agent (the “Second Amendment”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Original Credit Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety. Amendments to the Credit Agreement that were effected by the Second Amendment include the following:
Modification of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to exclude one-time gains or losses associated with lump sums payments made to address pension and retirement obligations and to address a possible change by NCR to mark-to-market accounting for its pension and retirement plans.
Elimination of the requirement that NCR prepay outstanding loans with the proceeds of excess cash flow.
Modification of the leverage ratio, as follows, to reflect NCR's incurrence from time to time of new debt used to reduce NCR's unfunded pension liabilities:
NCR will not permit the leverage ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011, to exceed:
(a)
the sum of (i) 3.50 and (ii) an amount (not to exceed 1.00) to reflect new debt used to reduce NCR's unfunded pension liabilities, in the case of any fiscal quarter ending prior to December 31, 2013,
(b)
the sum of (i) 3.25 and (ii) an amount (not to exceed 1.00) to reflect new debt used to reduce NCR's unfunded pension liabilities, in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or after December 31, 2013 and prior to December 31, 2015, and
(c)
3.50 to 1.00, in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or after December 31, 2015.
Modification of the limitation on investments covenant to remove restrictions on investments other than requirements relating to pro forma financial covenant compliance and an absence of default for material acquisitions.
