Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 18, 2011, Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company") and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with a lending syndicate consisting of nine banks (the "Lenders") with Bank of America, N.A. serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and U.S. Bank National Association serving as Syndication Agent. Under the Agreement, the Lenders have made available a $355 million senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") consisting of a $265 million five-year revolving credit facility, a $10 million five-year India revolving credit facility and an $80 million five-year term loan which was fully drawn at closing. At closing, the Company drew 6.25 million British Pound Sterling under the revolving credit facility. The Agreement replaces the credit agreement, dated as of April 4, 2007, and all subsequent amendments thereto.
The $265 million revolving credit facility contains a $200 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $25 million sublimit for swingline loans. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase the Credit Facility by up to an additional $205 million by requesting additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Fees and interest on borrowings vary based upon the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio (as defined in the Agreement) and will be based, in the case of letter of credit fees, on a margin, and in the case of interest, on a margin over LIBOR or a margin over the base rate, as selected by the Company, with the applicable margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% (or 0.5% to 1.5% for base rate loans). The base rate is the highest of (i) the Bank of America prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the Fixed LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. The term loan is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization payments, as set forth in the Agreement. The maturity date for the Credit Facility is five years from the closing date, at which time the outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest will be due and payable in full.
The Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants, including (all as defined in the Agreement): (i) a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio not to exceed 4.0 to 1.0; (ii) a Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio not to exceed 3.0 to 1.0; and (iii) a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0. Subject to meeting certain leverage ratio and liquidity requirements (as defined in the Agreement), the Company is permitted to pay dividends, repurchase common stock and repurchase subordinated debt.
The Company and certain subsidiaries have guaranteed the repayment of obligations under the Credit Facility and have granted pledges of the shares (or other equity interests) of certain subsidiaries along with a security interest in certain other personal property collateral of the Company and certain subsidiaries.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.
