Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 24, 2014, FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (the Company) entered into a new $3.355 billion Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, as guarantor, FleetCor Technologies Operating Company, LLC (FTOC), as a borrower and guarantor (the Domestic Borrower), certain of the Companys foreign subsidiaries as borrowers (together with the Domestic Borrower, the Borrowers), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer and a syndicate of financial institutions (the Lenders). The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities (the Senior Credit Facilities) consisting of (a) a revolving A credit facility in the amount of up to $1.0 billion, with sublimits for letters of credit, swing line loans and multicurrency borrowings, (b) a revolving B facility in the amount of up to $35 million for loans in Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, (c) a term loan A facility in the amount of up to $2.02 billion and (d) a term loan B facility in the amount of up to $300 million. The Credit Agreement provides for additional commitments in an aggregate amount of up to $430 million that may be borrowed as increases in the term loan A facility or the term loan B facility on the date of the initial borrowing under the Credit Agreement.
The term notes are payable in quarterly installments which are due on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December with the final principal payment of the term loan A due five years after the initial borrowing date of the Senior Credit Facilities and the final principal payment of the term loan B due seven years after the initial borrowing date of the Senior Credit Facilities. Borrowings on the revolving line of credit are repayable on the fifth anniversary of the initial borrowing date. Borrowings on the foreign swing line of credit are due no later than ten business days after each such loan is made. Loans are subject to certain mandatory prepayment requirements for dispositions, debt issuances and excess cash flow.
The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and events of default, as well as certain affirmative and negative covenants, customary for financings of this nature, which will become effective upon the initial borrowing date. These covenants include limitations on the Companys ability to pay dividends and make other restricted payments under certain circumstances and compliance with certain financial ratios. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders may declare the loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement will be guaranteed by the Company, the Domestic Borrower and the Companys domestic subsidiaries pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement that will be signed on the initial borrowing date.
The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement will be secured by all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, pursuant to a separate security agreement that will be signed on the initial borrowing date, and will include a pledge of shares of its domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of 66% of the voting shares of its first-tier foreign subsidiaries, but excluding real property, personal property located outside of the United States, accounts receivables and related assets subject to a securitization, and certain investments required under the money transmitter laws to be held free and clear of liens.
The Company anticipates the initial borrowing will be made under the Credit Agreement when it closes the anticipated acquisition of Comdata Inc. In the meantime, the Companys current facility will remain in place. The commitments under the Credit Agreement will terminate if the initial borrowing does not occur on or prior to May 11, 2015 or if the agreement for the acquisition of Comdata Inc. is terminated.
Proceeds from the new credit facility are intended to be used to refinance the Companys existing indebtedness under its 2011 Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A. and the other lenders party thereto (the 2011 Facility), and to pay off existing indebtedness of Comdata Inc. in connection with the Companys anticipated acquisition of Comdata Inc. during the fourth quarter of this year.
Interest on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (other than the term loan B facility) will accrue based on the LIBOR Rate (the Eurocurrency Rate) published on the applicable Bloomberg screen page or other source designated by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, plus a margin based on a leverage ratio and ranging from 1.00 to 2.00% per annum, or at the option of the Company, the Base Rate (defined as the rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%) plus a margin based on a leverage ratio and ranging from 0.00% to 1.00% per annum. Interest on Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in New Zealand Dollars will be based on the Bank Bill Reference Bid Rate, and interest on Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Australian Dollars will be based on the Bank Bill Swap Reference Bid Rate. Interest on the term loan B facility will accrue based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Base Rate, as described above, except that the applicable margin is fixed at 3% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and at 2% for Base Rate Loans. Interest will be payable by the Company on the last day of each interest period. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% of the daily unused portion of the credit facility.
Certain of the parties to the Credit Agreement are also parties to the Companys accounts receivable securitization facility. At this time there are no other material relationships between the Company and the various parties to the above disclosed agreements. Affiliates of the parties to the agreements disclosed above and the Company have engaged one another and may engage one another in the future in the ordinary course of business.
