Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On May 7, 2018, The Davey Tree Expert Company (“Davey Tree”) entered into a Third Amendment (the “RFA”) to the Receivables Financing Agreement, by and among: (i) Davey Tree, as initial Servicer, (ii) Davey Receivables LLC (“Davey Receivables”), an Ohio limited liability company, special purpose entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Davey Tree, as Borrower, and (iii) PNC Bank, National Association, as LC Bank and as Administrative Agent (“PNC”).
The RFA extends for another year the scheduled termination date of the Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2016, entered into by and among the parties listed above as part of an accounts receivable securitization program (the “AR Securitization Facility”), which was set to expire May 7, 2018. In addition, for purposes of determining events of default, the RFA amends the calculation of “Days’ Sales Outstanding” to include the most recent six fiscal months. The prior calculation was based on the most recent three fiscal months. The AR Securitization Facility terminates on May 6, 2019, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the RFA.
In addition, on that same date, Davey Tree amended its Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “RPA”) to include Davey Resource Group, Inc., an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Davey Tree, as a party to the RPA.
The foregoing description of the agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
