Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 16, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), Leidos Holdings, Inc. (“Leidos”) completed its previously announced combination with the Information Systems & Global Solutions business ( the “IS&GS Business”) of Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”) in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. On the Closing Date, Abacus Innovations Corporation (“Splitco”), which directly and through its subsidiaries holds the IS&GS Business, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leidos.

On the Closing Date, Splitco or certain of its subsidiaries entered into the following agreements listed below, each dated as of the Closing Date. A summary of the material terms of such agreements is contained in Leidos’ Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (Registration No. 333-210796), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2016 (the “Leidos Registration Statement”), and incorporated herein by reference:

Intellectual Property Matters Agreement, between Lockheed Martin and Abacus Innovations Technology, Inc.
Shared Contracts Agreement – Shared Contracts (Parent Companies), between Lockheed Martin and Splitco
Shared Contracts Agreement – Shared Contracts (Splitco Companies), between Lockheed Martin and Splitco
Subcontract Pending Novation and Consent (Parent to Splitco), between Lockheed Martin and Splitco
Supply Agreement (Parent to Splitco), between Lockheed Martin and Splitco
Supply Agreement (Splitco to Parent), between Lockheed Martin and Splitco
Transition Services Agreement (Parent to Splitco), between Lockheed Martin and Splitco

Credit Agreements

                In connection with the transactions described herein, on the Closing Date, immediately prior to the distribution of the Splitco common stock as a dividend to Lockheed Martin stockholders, Splitco, as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Splitco Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, as administrative agent, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Splitco Credit Agreement) and as collateral agent for the Non-Notes Secured Parties (as defined in the Splitco Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a (i) a three-year senior secured term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 (the “Three-Year Term A Loan Facility”) , (ii) a five-year senior secured term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $310,000,000 (the “Five-Year Term A Loan Facility”) and (iii) a senior secured term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,131,450,000 (together with the Three-Year Term Loan A Facility and the Five-Year Term Loan A Facility, the “Splitco Credit Facilities”). The Three-Year Term Loan A Facility will mature three years after the Closing Date and the Five-Year Term Loan A Facility will mature five years after the Closing Date; provided that in each case if any of Leidos’ 4.450% notes due 2020 have not been refinanced in a qualifying refinancing or retired prior to the Early Maturity Date (as defined in the Splitco Credit Agreement), then the Three-Year Term Loan A Facility and the Five-Year Term Loan A Facility will mature on the Early Maturity Date.  The Splitco Term Loan B Facility has a seven-year maturity period beginning on the closing date of the Transactions. 




Splitco used the proceeds of the Splitco Credit Facilities to make a cash payment of $1,800,000,000 to Lockheed Martin as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Separation Agreement, and to pay certain fees, costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement.  Concurrently with Splitco’s entry into the Splitco Credit Agreement and the related loan and collateral documents entered in connection therewith (collectively, the “Splitco Loan Documents”), certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of Splitco (together with Splitco, the “Splitco Loan Parties”) guaranteed the obligations under the Splitco Credit Agreement and the other Splitco Loan Documents (the “Splitco Facility Obligations”) and each Splitco Loan Party secured the Splitco Facility Obligations with substantially all of its assets, subject to certain exceptions.  Following the Merger, each Leidos Loan Party (as defined below) guaranteed the Splitco Facility Obligations and secured the Splitco Facility Obligations with substantially all of its assets, subject to certain exceptions.

In connection with the transactions described herein, on the Closing Date, substantially concurrently with the Merger, Leidos and Leidos, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leidos, as borrower (the “Leidos Borrower”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Leidos Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, as administrative agent, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Leidos Credit Agreement) and as collateral agent for the Non-Notes Secured Parties (as defined in the Leidos Credit Agreement). The Leidos Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $690,000,000 (the “Leidos Term A Loan Facility”) and (ii) a $750,000,000 senior secured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Leidos Term A Loan Facility, the “Leidos Credit Facilities”). The Leidos Credit Facilities will mature five years from the Closing Date; provided that if any of Leidos’ 4.450% notes due 2020 have not been refinanced in a qualifying refinancing or retired prior to the date that is 91 days before the maturity date of such notes, then the Leidos Credit Facilities will mature on the Early Maturity Date (as defined in the Leidos Credit Agreement).

Leidos and the Leidos Borrower used the proceeds of the Leidos Term A Loan Facility to (i) pay a special dividend of $1,029,210,261 to Leidos shareholders of record as of August 15, 2016, (ii) repay in full all indebtedness, and terminate all commitments, under Leidos’ Amended and Restated Four Year Credit Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2011, among Leidos, as borrower, the Leidos Borrower, as guarantor, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders, other agents and other parties thereto from time to time (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) and (iii) pay certain fees, costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement.  The Leidos Borrower did not borrow any loans under the Revolving Facility on the Closing Date. Concurrently with Leidos and the Leidos Borrower’s entry into the Leidos Credit Agreement and the related loan and collateral documents entered in connection therewith (collectively, the “Leidos Loan Documents”), Leidos and certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of Leidos (together with Leidos and the Leidos Borrower, the “Leidos Loan Parties” and, together with the Splitco Loan Parties, the “Loan Parties”) guaranteed the obligations under the Leidos Credit Agreement and the other Leidos Loan Documents (the “Leidos Facility Obligations”) and each Leidos Loan Party secured the Leidos Facility Obligations with substantially all of its assets, subject to certain exceptions.  Following the Merger, each Splitco Loan Party guaranteed the Leidos Facility Obligations with substantially all of its assets, subject to certain exceptions.




Borrowings under each Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate determined, at our option, based on either a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin that varies depending on our Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined below) as shown in the following table:

Pricing Level
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio
Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Rate Loans
Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans
I
Less than 2.25 to 1.00
1.75%
0.75%
II
Greater than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00,
but less than 2.75 to 1.00
2.00%
1.00%
III
Greater than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00
2.25%
1.25%

The lenders will be paid under the Revolving Facility a commitment fee equal to a certain percentage of the aggregate daily amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Facility. The percentage will be 0.375% until delivery of the first compliance certificates and will vary based on the Senior Secured Leverage thereafter: 0.250% if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio is 2.75 to 1.00 or less and, otherwise, 0.375%.

Each Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, as well as certain customary affirmative and negative covenants.  Each Credit Agreement’s negative covenants restrict the activities of the Loan Parties and certain of Leidos’ other subsidiaries, including, among other things, such Loan Party’s or subsidiary’s ability to (i) create certain liens on its assets, (ii) dispose of substantially all of its assets, (iii) merge, liquidate, dissolve, change its business or consolidate with other entities, (iv) invest and make loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, (v) effect sale-and leaseback transactions, (vi) enter into speculative hedging arrangements, (vii) make dividends or other distributions on capital stock, redeem or repurchase capital stock and prepay, redeem or repurchase junior debt; (viii) enter affiliate transactions, (ix) incur debt and issue preferred stock, (x) enter burdensome or restrictive agreements, and (xi) amend operative documents related to the applicable Credit Agreement, junior debt agreements and organizational documents.

The financial covenant in each Credit Agreement requires that Leidos maintain, as at the end of each fiscal quarter after the Closing Date (i) ending on or prior to February 16, 2018, a ratio of secured consolidated funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”) of not more than 4.75 to 1.00, (ii) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending after February 16, 2018 and on or prior to February 16, 2019, a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of not more than 4.25 to 1.00 and (iii) ending thereafter, a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of 3.75 to 1.00; provided that once all obligations (other than certain contingent and expense obligations) relating to the Five-Year Term A Loan Facility and the Three-Year Term A Loan Facility are fully repaid, Leidos and Splitco will no longer be subject to the financial covenant under the Splitco Credit Agreement.

Each Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including, among others, defaults based on certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, nonpayment, cross-defaults to other debt, breach of specified covenants, ERISA events, material monetary judgments, change of control events, inability to pay debts as they become due, actual or asserted invalidity of security documents or guarantees and the material inaccuracy of our representations and warranties.




Each Credit Agreement provides that voluntary prepayments of loans thereunder may be made at any time, subject to applicable notice periods, without premium or penalty in minimum principal amounts.  Each voluntary prepayment may be applied to any scheduled principal payments at the direction of Splitco or the Leidos Borrower, as applicable. The Leidos Credit Agreement provides, subject to certain conditions, that commitments under the Revolving Facility may be permanently reduced at any time.

On August 19, 2016, the company entered into interest rate swap agreements with financial institutions to manage the variable interest rate exposure with respect to a portion of the floating rate debt described above, fixing the variable LIBOR component of such portion at approximately 1% through a five-year amortizing interest rate swap.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed, on January 26, 2016, Leidos announced it entered into a definitive agreement with Lockheed Martin pursuant to which Leidos would combine with Lockheed Martin’s IS&GS Business in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 26, 2016 (as amended, “Merger Agreement”), among Leidos, Lockheed Martin, Splitco, and Lion Merger Co. (“Merger Sub”). In connection with the Merger Agreement, Lockheed Martin and Splitco entered into a Separation Agreement dated January 26, 2016 (as amended, the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which Lockheed Martin would separate the IS&GS Business. In the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement, (i) Lockheed Martin would transfer the IS&GS Business to Splitco, (ii) Lockheed Martin would distribute Splitco’s stock to Lockheed Martin’s shareholders, at Lockheed Martin’s option, by way of a pro rata dividend or an exchange offer, and (iii) Merger Sub would merge with and into Splitco, with Splitco as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos.

Immediately after consummation of the Merger, approximately 50.5 percent of the outstanding shares of Leidos common stock was held by pre-Merger holders of Splitco common stock and approximately 49.5 percent of the outstanding shares of Leidos common stock was held by pre-Merger Leidos shareholders.

The Leidos Registration Statement sets forth certain additional information regarding the IS&GS Business and the Merger and related transactions. The information contained in Items 1.01 and 5.02 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.
