| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On October 4, 2013, Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (the “Company”), Jones Lang LaSalle Finance B.V. and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries, as guarantors, executed a new Multicurrency Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. Bank of Montreal serves as Administrative Agent and BMO Capital Markets and Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated serve as co-lead arrangers.
Proceeds from the New Credit Agreement have been used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company’s previously existing credit facility. Accordingly, the previous facility, which had capacity of $1.1 billion and was due to expire in June 2016, has been terminated.
Like the previous facility, the New Credit Agreement is unsecured. The initial cost of borrowing under the New Credit Agreement will be approximately 1.50% per annum.
The New Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of $1.2 billion which includes $100 million of capacity for letters of credit and $200 million of capacity for Alternative Currency borrowing. The new maturity date is October 4, 2018.
The features of the New Credit Facility include:
| (i) | Cash Flow Leverage Ratio of 3.50x through maturity; |
| (ii) | permitted add-backs to Adjusted EBITDA for charges related to any future restructuring initiatives; |
| (iii) | increased permitted add-backs to Adjusted EBITDA for charges related to any future Permitted Acquisitions; |
| (iv) | increased permitted amount for certain new indebtedness; |
| (v) | increased permitted amount for co-investments; and |
| (vi) | increased permitted amount for asset sales other than co-investments. |
All obligations under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors.
The New Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Form 8-K have the meanings provided in the New Credit Agreement.
