General
On November 27, 2018, EVERTEC, Inc., (“EVERTEC” or the “Company”) and EVERTEC Group, LLC, (“EVERTEC Group” or “Borrower”), which is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of EVERTEC, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) governing the senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $220.0 million term loan A facility that matures on November 27, 2023, a $325.0 million term loan B facility that matures on November 27, 2024 and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility that matures on November 27, 2023, with a syndicate of lenders and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and L/C issuer. The material terms and conditions of the senior secured credit facilities are summarized below. The description of the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees and collateral arrangements thereunder, contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, Guarantee Agreement and Collateral Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3.
Scheduled Amortization Payments
The term loan A facility provides for amortization in the amount of 1.25% of the original principal amount of the term loan A facility during each of the first twelve quarters starting from the quarter ending March 31, 2019, 1.875% during each of the four subsequent quarters and 2.50% during each of the final three quarters, with the balance payable on the final maturity date.
The term loan B facility provides for quarterly amortization payments totaling 1.00% per annum of the original principal amount of the term loan B facility, with the balance payable on the final maturity date.
Voluntary Prepayments and Reduction and Termination of Commitments
The terms of the senior secured credit facilities allow EVERTEC Group to prepay loans and permanently reduce the loan commitments under the senior secured credit facilities at any time, subject to the payment of customary LIBOR breakage costs, if any, provided that, in connection with certain refinancing or repricing of the term loan B facility on or prior to the date which is six months after the closing date of the Credit Agreement, a prepayment premium of 1.00% will be required.
Interest
The interest rates under the term loan A facility and revolving credit facility are based on, at EVERTEC Group’s option, (a) (x) adjusted LIBOR plus (y) an interest margin of 2.25% or (b) (x) the greater of (i) Bank of America’s “prime rate,” (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% and (iii) adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0% (“ABR”) plus (y) an interest margin of 1.25%. The interest rates under the term loan B facility are based on, at EVERTEC Group’s option, (a) (x) adjusted LIBOR plus (y) an interest margin of 3.50% or (b) (x) ABR plus (y) an interest margin of 2.50%. The interest margins under the term loan A facility and revolving credit facility are subject to reduction based on achievement of specified total secured net leverage ratio.
Guarantees and Collateral
EVERTEC Group’s obligations under the senior secured credit facilities and under any cash management, interest rate protection or other hedging arrangements entered into with a lender or any affiliate thereof are guaranteed by EVERTEC and each of EVERTEC’s existing wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than EVERTEC Group) and subsequently acquired or organized subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
Subject to certain exceptions, the senior secured credit facilities are secured to the extent legally permissible by substantially all of the assets of (1) EVERTEC, including a perfected pledge of all of the limited liability company interests of EVERTEC Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), (2) Holdings, including a perfected pledge of all of the limited liability company interests of EVERTEC Group and (3) EVERTEC Group and the subsidiary guarantors, including but not limited to: (a) a pledge of substantially all capital stock held by EVERTEC Group or any guarantor and (b) a perfected security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of EVERTEC Group and each guarantor.
Covenants
The senior secured credit facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants that the Company believes are usual and customary for a senior secured credit agreement. The negative covenants in the senior secured credit facilities include, among other things, limitations (subject to exceptions) on the ability of EVERTEC and its restricted subsidiaries to:
• | declare dividends and make other distributions; |
• | redeem or repurchase capital stock; |
• | grant liens; |
• | make loans or investments (including acquisitions); |

• | modify the terms of certain debt; |
• | restrict dividends from subsidiaries; |
• | change the business of EVERTEC or its subsidiaries; and |
• | enter into transactions with their affiliates. |
In addition, the term loan A facility and the revolving credit facility require EVERTEC to maintain a maximum total secured net leverage ratio.
Events of Default
The events of default under the senior secured credit facilities include, without limitation, nonpayment, material misrepresentation, breach of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy, certain judgments, change of control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and cross-events of default on material indebtedness.
