Versum Materials, Inc. (NYSE:VSM) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 10, 2017, Versum Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Repricing Amendment”) among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”), which amended that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 2016, among the Company, the lenders party thereto and the Agent (as amended by the Repricing Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Repricing Amendment decreased the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) for the Company’s senior secured first lien term loan B facility (the “Term Facility”) from 2.50% to 2.00% per annum for LIBOR borrowings, and reduced the LIBOR floor from 0.75% to 0.00%. In addition, the Repricing Amendment decreased the Applicable Rate for the Term Facility from 1.50% to 1.00% per annum for base rate borrowings, and removed the 1.75% base rate floor. If the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), is equal to or less than 2.00:1.00 (calculated without any netting of Cash on Hand (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement)), the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) will decrease further to 1.75% for LIBOR borrowings and to 0.75% for base rate borrowings.
The Repricing Amendment also increased the applicable first lien net leverage ratios that determine the percentage of excess cash flow, ranging from 0% to 50%, that is required to be used to prepay the Term Facility. The period in which a prepayment premium may be required for a Repricing Transaction (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) was reset to six months after the October 10, 2017 effective date of the Repricing Amendment.
The foregoing description of the Repricing Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Repricing Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
