Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On September 11, 2018, The Timken Company (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto.
The Credit Amendment provides for a term loan facility in the original aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 that matures on September 11, 2023. The Company borrowed the full amount available under the term loan facility on September 11, 2018 in the form of a term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Term Loan to finance a portion of the purchase price in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Rollon S.p.A. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan in the amount of $2,187,500 beginning on November 30, 2018.
The interest rate under the Term Loan will be based on either (i) LIBOR or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus, in either case, an applicable margin determined by the Company’s debt rating. The Credit Agreement is not secured by assets of the Company.
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio in accordance with the limits set forth therein.
The Credit Agreement is subject to customary events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may instruct the administrative agent to accelerate amounts due under the Credit Agreement (except for a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will automatically become due and payable) and exercise other rights and remedies.
A copy of the Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein.
The lenders and the agents (and each of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) of the Credit Agreement have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, cash management, underwriting, lending, commercial banking, trust, leasing services, foreign exchange and other advisory services to, or engage in transactions with, the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates. These parties have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation from the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, for such services.
