Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 27, 2013, Tech Data Corporation (“Tech Data”), SunTrust Bank, as lessor (the “Lessor”), SunTrust Equity Funding, LLC, as agent (the “Agent”), and the lenders, alternative Lessees and guarantors party thereto entered into a fourth amended and restated participation agreement and Tech Data, the Lessor and the alternative Lessees party thereto also entered into a fourth amended and restated lease agreement (collectively, along with related transaction documents and agreements, the “2013 Synthetic Lease”). The 2013 Synthetic Lease extends the existing third amended and restated lease agreement among Tech Data, the Lessor, and the alternative Lessees party thereto and the third amended and restated participation agreement among Tech Data, the Lessor, the Agent, and the lenders, alternative Lessees and guarantors party thereto, along with related transaction documents and agreements, for an additional five (5) years, through June 27, 2018.
Properties leased under the 2013 Synthetic Lease are located in Clearwater and Miami, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Fontana, California; Suwanee, Georgia; Swedesboro, New Jersey; and South Bend, Indiana. As in the case of the predecessor lease agreement, the 2013 Synthetic Lease is accounted for as an operating lease and rental payments are calculated at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on our credit ratings. The principal terms of the 2013 Synthetic Lease are substantially the same as the predecessor lease agreement. Upon not less than 30 days' notice, we may, at our option, purchase one or any combination of the properties, at an amount equal to each of the property's cost, as long as the lease balance does not decrease below a defined amount. Not less than 270, nor more than 360, days prior to the lease expiration, we may, at our option, i) purchase a minimum of two of the properties, at an amount equal to each of the property's cost, ii) exercise the option to renew the lease for a minimum of two of the properties or iii) exercise the option to remarket a minimum of two of the properties and cause a sale of the properties. If we elect to remarket the properties, we have guaranteed the lessor a percentage of the cost of each property, in the aggregate amount of approximately $133.8 million (the “residual guarantee”). The 2013 Synthetic Lease contains customary representations and warranties and events of default.
Based on the rates at closing and assuming the 2013 Synthetic Lease is fully funded, future annual lease payments are approximately $2.8 million for each of the next five (5) years.
Certain of the counterparties to the 2013 Synthetic Lease have provided and may continue to provide investment banking, financial advisory, credit and/or other services to Tech Data, for which they have received customary fees and expenses.
