Item 1.01.....Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 8, 2016, Masimo Corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Restated Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and a Lender, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent and a Lender Citibank, N.A., as Documentation Agent and a Lender, and various other Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Restated Credit Facility amends and restates the Company’s prior Credit Agreement dated as of April 23, 2014 (as amended) and provides for up to $450.0 million in borrowings in multiple currencies, with an option, subject to certain conditions, for the Company to increase the aggregate borrowing capacity to up to $550.0 million in the future. The Restated Credit Facility also provides for a sublimit of up to $50.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and a sublimit of $125.0 million in specified foreign currencies. All unpaid principal under the Restated Credit Facility will become due and payable on January 8, 2021. Proceeds from the Restated Credit Facility are expected to be used for general corporate, capital investment and working capital needs.
Borrowings under the Restated Credit Facility will be deemed, at the Company’s election, either: (a) an ABR Loan, which bears interest at the Alternate Base Rate (as defined below), plus a spread of 0.125% to 1.000% based upon a Company leverage ratio, or (b) a Eurodollar Loan, which bears interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined below), plus a spread of 1.125% to 2.000% based upon a Company leverage ratio. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may also request swingline loans from time to time that bear interest similar to an ABR Loan. Pursuant to the terms of the Restated Credit Facility, the Alternate Base Rate is equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York effective rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.0%. The Adjusted LIBO Rate is equal to LIBOR for the applicable interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate for such period, rounded upward, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%. The Company is also obligated under the Restated Credit Facility to pay an unused fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.300% per annum, based upon a Company leverage ratio, with respect to any unutilized portion of the Restated Credit Facility.
Pursuant to the terms of the Restated Credit Facility, the Company is subject to certain covenants, including financial covenants related to a leverage ratio and an interest charge coverage ratio, and other customary negative covenants. The Company’s obligations under the Restated Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, including all equity interests in domestic subsidiaries and first-tier foreign subsidiaries. The Restated Credit Facility also includes customary events of default which, upon the occurrence of any such event of default, provide the Lenders with the right to take either or both of the following actions: (a) immediately terminate the commitments, and (b) declare the loans then outstanding immediately due and payable in full.
The foregoing description of the Restated Credit Facility is a summary of certain terms of the Restated Credit Facility, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restated Credit Facility which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2016.
Item 2.03.....Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth above under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
