Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 28, 2016, Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”) entered into a $300 million three-year senior unsecured non-amortizing term loan facility (the “Facility”) pursuant to a loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as joint arrangers and bookrunners, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a lender and sole administrative agent, and other lender parties thereto. The Facility is unsecured, and the proceeds from the Facility will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of our common stock.
Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement initially accrue interest at a rate equal to the ICE Benchmark Administration LIBOR Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 1.125% per annum, which may increase to a rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of up to 1.875% per annum, depending on Cadence’s leverage ratio.
The covenants of the Term Loan Agreement are consistent with Cadence’s existing five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility and include customary negative covenants that, among other things, restrict Cadence’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens and make certain investments, asset dispositions and restricted payments. In addition, the Term Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants that require Cadence to maintain a funded debt to EBITDA ratio not greater than 2.75 to 1, with a step-up to 3.25 to 1 for one year following an acquisition by Cadence of at least $250 million that results in a pro forma leverage ratio between 2.50 to 1 and 3.00 to 1. The Term Loan Agreement also requires Cadence to maintain an EBITDA to interest charges ratio of at least 3.00 to 1.
A copy of the Term Loan Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.01 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Term Loan Agreement.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 3, 2016, Cadence issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 2, 2016.
