On August 8, 2013, BancorpSouth, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as a lender and administrative agent, and First Tennessee Bank, National Association, as a lender. The Credit Agreement includes an unsecured revolving loan of up to $25.0 million that terminates and the outstanding balance of which is payable in full on August 8, 2015, and an unsecured multi-draw term loan of up to $60.0 million, which commitment terminates on February 28, 2014 and the outstanding balance of which is payable in full on August 8, 2018. The proceeds from the term loan may be used to repurchase trust preferred securities, and the proceeds from the revolving loan may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a eurocurrency or base rate plus, in each case, an applicable interest rate margin.
On August 8, 2013, the Company borrowed $50.0 million under the term loan for which the principal balance is payable in full on August 8, 2018. The initial interest rate on such term loan is LIBOR plus 1.875% and the proceeds of such term loan will be used in connection with the redemption on August 12, 2013 of all outstanding 8.15% trust preferred securities issued by BancorpSouth Capital Trust I.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation, financial covenants requiring that the Company or BancorpSouth Bank, as the case may be, maintain (i) a total risk-based capital ratio not less than 12% as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, (ii) a ratio of non-performing assets to total primary capital not greater than 33% as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, (iii) a ratio of loan loss reserves to non-performing loans not less than 60% as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for the fiscal quarter then ended, (iv) “well-capitalized” status at all times, and (v) a fixed charge coverage ratio not less than 2.50 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarter period then ended.
