Item1.01
| Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December12, 2016, Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the
Company) entered into Amendment No.2 to the Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, the lenders party
thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
Administrative Agent (the Administrative Agent), and the
guarantors party thereto (the Amendment), which amends the
Companys existing revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility,
and the Credit Facility, as amended by the Amendment, the Amended
Credit Facility).
The Amendment amends the Credit Facility to, among other things,
(i)reduce the revolving credit line commitments from $200 million
to $140 million, including the existing sublimits for up to $25
million in letters of credit and up to $10 million in swingline
loans, which are unchanged by the Amendment, (ii)restrict the
Company from borrowing funds for non-acquisition purposes if,
after giving effect to such borrowing, domestic cash and cash
equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to
certain exceptions) would exceed $25 million and (iii)require
that the Company and the guarantors under the Amended Credit
Facility execute account control agreements with respect to
certain deposit accounts and securities accounts, in each case
establishing the Administrative Agents control with respect to
such accounts. The Amended Credit Facility continues to provide
for an ability to increase commitments by an additional $150
million. Availability under the Amended Credit Facility remains
subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to accounts
receivable in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada,
inventory in the United States, and cash on hand.
The Amendment also amends the Credit Facilitys senior secured
debt to adjusted EBITDA covenant such that:
|
the maximum permitted ratio of the Company, on a consolidated basis, for each fiscal quarter ending after the effective date of the Amendment through December31, 2017, is 4.50 to 1.0, and for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter through the termination of the Amended Credit Facility, is 3.50 to 1.0; and |
|
the calculation of the ratio provides for netting of certain cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries against senior secured debt for each fiscal quarter ending after the effective date of the Amendment through December31, 2017. |
Upon the closing of the Amendment, on December12, 2016, the
Company had no borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility and
$17.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Amended
Credit Facility, leaving the Company with approximately $104
million available capacity for additional borrowings and letters
of credit under the Amended Credit Facility.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be
complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the
full text of such Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit
