Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 16, 2011, Joy Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Joy Global”), entered into a credit agreement among Joy Global, as Borrower, certain of its domestic subsidiaries, as Guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent and the 1enders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, which matures June 16, 2016, provides for a term loan commitment of $500 million. The Credit Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
The Credit Agreement contains terms and conditions that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the term loan provisions of Joy Global’s existing credit agreement, dated as of October 27, 2010, as amended (the “2010 Credit Agreement”). Under the Credit Agreement, Eurodollar Rate Loans will bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by Joy Global, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin that varies according to the credit rating of Joy Global and Base Rate Loans will bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by Bank of America, N.A., as its “prime rate,” and (c) a daily rate equal to the one month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the credit rating of Joy Global.
Joy Global utilized the $500 million commitment under the Credit Agreement to finance the acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. (“LeTourneau”) from Rowan Companies, Inc. (“Rowan”) (as discussed below), to pay costs and expenses associated therewith and for general corporate purposes. In order to obtain loans under the Credit Agreement, certain representations and warranties made by Joy Global and each Guarantor at the time the Credit Agreement was executed also must be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of any credit extension. So long as any amount is outstanding under the Credit Agreement, Joy Global must be in compliance with specified covenants, including (i) a restriction on the incurrence of liens on the assets of Joy Global and the Guarantors, other than certain permitted liens, (ii) maintenance of a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.0 and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter of Joy Global, and (iii) restrictions on certain fundamental changes as specified in the Credit Agreement.
The failure to satisfy any of the Credit Agreement’s covenants or the occurrence of other specified events that constitute an event of default could result in the acceleration of the repayment obligations of Joy Global. The events of default include, but are not limited to (i) the failure of Joy Global or any Guarantor to pay indebtedness under the Credit Agreement when due, (ii) the breach of certain covenants and representations and warranties under the Credit Agreement, subject in certain cases to cure periods, (iii) certain insolvency events, judgments or decrees against Joy Global or any of the Guarantors, (iv) certain final judgments or orders for the payment of money entered against Joy Global, (v) certain events with respect to Joy Global’s pension plan (vi) certain cross-defaults to other indebtedness and (vii) a change of control (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and the lenders under the Credit Agreement or their affiliates have various relationships with Joy Global and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including investment banking, commercial banking, advisory, cash management, custody and trust services, for which they have received customary fees, and may do so again in the future.
On June 21, 2011, Joy Global Inc. exercised its option under the 2010 Credit Agreement to increase the aggregate revolving commitment available to Joy Global thereunder by an additional $200 million. Joy Global did not draw upon this amount in connection with closing its acquisition of LeTourneau and intends to use the proceeds of loans drawn under the expansion of the 2010 Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes.
