Item 1.01.              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 20, 2011, AECOM Technology Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and a lender, and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”).

 

The Credit Agreement, which replaces the Company’s prior credit agreement set to expire in 2012, increases the available borrowing capacity under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility to $1.05 billion from $600 million, and expires on July 20, 2016.  The Company may, at its option, also increase the commitments under the Credit Agreement up to an additional $100 million subject to receipt of additional lending commitments for such loans and other customary conditions.

 

The loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin or the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin.   The applicable margin for Base Rate loans is a range of 0.0% to 1.50% based on the leverage ratio of the Company at the end of each fiscal quarter and the applicable margin for Eurodollar Rate loans is a range of 1.0% to 2.50% based on the leverage ratio of the Company at the end of each fiscal quarter.

 

Prior to the maturity date, the principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions.  The principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and any accrued and unpaid interest is due no later than the maturity date of July 20, 2016.   Accrued interest with respect to such principal amounts is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis for Base Rate loans, and at the end of the applicable interest period but at most every three months for Eurodollar Rate loans.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that have the effect of limiting under certain circumstances the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, merge with other entities, create new liens, incur additional indebtedness, sell assets outside of the ordinary course of business, pay dividends or make other payments with respect to the Company’s capital stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, or substantially change the general nature of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.  The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to a subsidiary guaranty. The loans under the Credit Agreement are unsecured.

 

Events of default (subject to certain cure periods and other limitations) under the Credit Agreement are customary and include but are not limited to (i) non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the violation of terms, covenants, representations or warranties in the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, (iii) any event of default under agreements governing certain indebtedness of the Company, including the Term Loan Credit Facility (as defined below), and certain defaults by the Company or any subsidiary with respect to indebtedness exceeding 3.0% of the Company’s net worth , (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation involving the Company or certain subsidiaries (v) judgments in excess of 3.0% of the Company’s net worth or which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the Company, and (vi) the occurrence of an ERISA Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Company in excess of 3% of the Company’s net worth.
