Item 1.01              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 22, 2015, GTT Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among (1) the Company, as borrower, (2) KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer, swing line lender and a lender, (3) SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent and a lender, (4) KeyBank Capital Markets Inc. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, (5) MUFG Union Bank, N.A., Pacific Western Bank, CIT Bank, N.A., ING Capital LLC, Société Générale and CoBank, ACB, as co-documentation agents, and (6) the other lenders party thereto.

 

The Credit Agreement provides for a $400 million term loan facility and a $50 million revolving line of credit facility (which includes a $15 million letter of credit facility and a $10 million swing line facility).  In addition, the Company may request incremental term loan and/or incremental revolving loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of $75 million and an unlimited amount that is subject to pro forma compliance with certain net secured leverage ratio tests, provided, however, that incremental revolving loan commitments may not exceed $25 million.

 

The maturity date of the term loan facility is October 22, 2022 and the maturity date of the revolving loan facility is October 22, 2020.  Each maturity date may be extended per the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The Company may prepay loans under the Credit Agreement at any time, subject to certain notice requirements and LIBOR breakage costs.  In the event that the term loans are prepaid within six months after entering into the Credit Agreement, such prepayment will be subject to a penalty equal to 1.00% of the outstanding term loans being prepaid.

 

At the Company’s election, loans under the Credit Agreement may also be made as either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans.  The applicable margin for term loans is 4.25% for Base Rate Loans and 5.25% for Eurodollar Loans.  All Term Loan Eurodollar Loans are subject to a floor of 1.00%.  The applicable margin for revolving loans is 3.75% for Base Rate Loans and 4.75% for Eurodollar Loans.

 

The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its subsidiaries Global Telecom & Technology Americas, Inc., GTT Communications (MP), Inc., GTT Global Telecom Government Services, LLC, NT Network Services, LLC, American Broadband, Inc., One Source Networks Inc. and the other domestic subsidiaries of the Company that shall from time to time become a guarantor (collectively, the “Guarantors”).  The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the Guarantors, including by a pledge of 100% of the equity interests of the domestic subsidiaries of the Company and Guarantors and 65% of the equity interests of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company and the Guarantors.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary financial and operating covenants, including among others a consolidated net secured leverage ratio and covenants restricting the incurrence of debt, imposition of liens, the payment of dividends and entering into affiliate transactions.  The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including among others nonpayment of principal or interest, material inaccuracy of representations and failure to comply with covenants.  If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, the entire outstanding balance may become immediately due and payable.

 

Several of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have various relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, such as investment banking, commercial banking, advisory, cash management, custody and corporate credit card services for which they receive customary fees and may do so in the future.

 

The Company must comply with a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio covenant and is restricted from permitting the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio to be greater than the maximum ratio specified below during the period opposite such maximum ratio:

On October 22, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity securities of One Source Networks Inc., a Texas corporation (“One Source”), pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Global Telecom & Technology Americas, Inc., a Virginia corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), Duo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser, One Source, Ernest Cunningham, as representative of the equityholders in One Source and, for limited portions of the Merger Agreement, certain key employees of One Source named in the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, One Source has been merged with and into Duo Merger Sub, Inc., with One Source being the surviving entity.

 

The purchase price was $175 million plus approximately $5 million of closing date adjustments related to estimated working capital.  The purchase price is subject to a final post-closing reconciliation for closing date cash, working capital, transaction expenses, indebtedness and certain tax payments.

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, certain equityholders of One Source reinvested an aggregate of $10,697,000 of their proceeds in the transaction to purchase 475,001 shares of newly issued Company common stock.
