Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 29, 2015, Mitel Networks Corporation (the “Registrant” or “Company”) entered into a first amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the credit agreement governing its first lien credit facility (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) with Mitel U.S. Holdings, Inc., as the borrowers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Bank of America, N.A. as the administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders set forth therein.

The Credit Agreement Amendment amends the Company’s Existing Credit Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2015, to, among other things:

 

    increase the Leverage Ratio covenant to a maximum of 5.25 times Consolidated EBITDA through the quarter ending December 31, 2015; declining to 4.75 times for the quarter ending March 31, 2016; and thereafter returning to existing covenant levels consistent with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement;

 

    increase the applicable margin on the initial term loans from 4.00% to 4.50% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and from 3.00% to 3.50% for Base Rate Loans;

 

    provide for a prepayment premium of 1.0% on the amount of any mandatory prepayments made on or prior to September 29, 2016 in connection with a Repricing Event or if a Repricing Event shall otherwise occur on or prior to such date; and

 

    amend the definition of “ECF Percentage” to require the Company to use 75% of its Excess Cash Flow to repay indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement when the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used above and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided in the Existing Credit Agreement or Credit Agreement Amendment, as applicable. The Existing Credit Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Registrant on May 1, 2015.
