ITEM 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 27, 2010, Systemax Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as U.S. Administrative Agent, J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as UK Administrative Agent, J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. as Sole Bookrunner and Sole Lead Arranger, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and Wells Fargo Capital Finance LLC, as Co-Agents, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), in order to amend and extend the Company’s existing credit facility. This Credit Agreement amends and replaces the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 27, 2005 with such lenders and certain other lenders.
The terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement provide for an aggregate initial commitment of up to $125 million, subject to a further increase to up to $200 million. The Credit Agreement also provides for letter of credit availability of up to $25 million. Availability is subject to a borrowing base that takes into account eligible receivables and eligible inventory. The new five year facility will be available to the Company, its domestic subsidiaries and its United Kingdom subsidiary, Systemax Europe Ltd., until the maturity date of October 26, 2015.
The interest rate under the Credit Agreement is computed at applicable market rates based on LIBOR or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on borrowing base availability.
The Company’s ability to borrow amounts under the Credit Agreement is subject to its compliance with certain financial and operating covenants, and compliance with other terms and conditions contained in the credit documents, typical for credit facility transactions of this type.
To secure the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, the parties have also entered into the Second Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated October 27, 2010 (the “Pledge Agreement”). Pursuant to this agreement the Borrowers' obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the Borrowers' assets including all accounts, accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets, subject to limited exceptions, including the exclusion of certain foreign assets from the collateral.
The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default and lender’s remedies for facilities of this nature.
The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement and the Pledge Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.
A copy of the Credit Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
