Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 20, 2010, DaVita Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new $3 billion senior secured credit agreement. The senior secured credit agreement provides for a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in October 2015, a $1 billion senior secured term loan A maturing in October 2015 and a $1.75 billion senior secured term loan B maturing in October 2016.

Loans made under the term facility and the revolving facility will bear interest at a rate based on LIBOR (which will, with respect to the term loan B facility, be subject to a floor of 1.50%) plus a margin. The margin is initially 2.75% for the revolving credit facility and the term loan A and 3.00% for the term loan B. The Company paid the lenders for the term loan B facility a closing fee in the form of original issue discount equal to 0.5%. The margin for the revolving credit facility and the term loan A is subject to leverage-based step-downs, and the margin for the term loan B is subject to a ratings-based step-down.

The senior secured credit agreement contains financial and operating covenants. Financial covenants include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and a limitation on capital expenditures. Operating covenants include limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens on assets, make significant asset dispositions and investments and pay dividends.

All obligations under the senior secured credit agreement are, subject to certain exceptions, guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and such guarantors.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as administrative agent and collateral agent. Bank of America, N.A. serves as syndication agent. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Barclays Capital, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC serve as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Credit Suisse AG, Barclays Bank PLC, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, RBC Capital Markets, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. and Union Bank, N.A. serve as co-documentation agents.

The foregoing description of the senior secured credit agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the senior secured credit agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
