Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
In connection with the previously announced successful completion of the restructuring (the “Restructuring”) with respect to our direct parent holding company, Travelport Holdings Limited (“Holdings”) senior unsecured payment-in-kind (“PIK”) term loans due March 27, 2012, on September 30, 2011, we amended our existing credit facility pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among Travelport LLC, as borrower, Travelport Limited, as parent guarantor, Waltonville Limited, as intermediate parent guarantor, UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent and L/C issuer, UBS Loan Finance LLC, as swing line lender, and the other agents and other lenders party thereto (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things: (i) allows for a new a second lien secured on a second priority basis as described further below; (ii) adds a minimum liquidity covenant to be effective under certain conditions; (iii) increases our restricted payment capacity; (iv) limits the general basket for investments to $20 million; (v) provides for our payment of a consent fee to various lenders; (vi) requires us to purchase and retire up to $20 million of our senior notes under certain conditions for each of the next 2 years unless such purchases would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of our liquidity covenants during the following 12 month period; (vii) amends our total leverage ratio test, which will initially be set at 8.0X until June 30, 2013, and adds a first lien leverage ratio test, which will initially be set at 4.0X until June 30, 2013; (viii) adds certain additional collateral; and (ix) effectuates various technical, conforming, and other changes in connection with the Restructuring.
Second Lien Credit Agreement
In connection with the Restructuring, on September 30, 2011 we entered into a second lien credit agreement, dated as of September 30, 2011, among Travelport LLC, as borrower, Travelport Limited, as parent guarantor, Waltonville Limited, as intermediate parent guarantor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, and each lender from time to time party thereto (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”). The Second Lien Credit Agreement, among other things: (i) extends a new term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $342.5 million; (ii) has a maturity date of December 1, 2016; (iii) carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 6%, payable in cash (only when permitted by the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) or payment-in-kind interest on a cumulative quarterly basis; (iv) is guaranteed, on a secured second priority basis, by the same entities that guarantee the obligations under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; (v) has substantially the same covenants and events of default as under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (other than financial covenants, larger baskets and a cross-acceleration to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement); and (vi) may, under certain conditions, be converted into newly issued private-for-life bonds to be governed by an indenture that contains substantially the same covenants, events of default and remedies as the Second Lien Credit Agreement.
Certain of the lenders party to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement, and their respective affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for Travelport and its subsidiaries for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses.
Shareholders’ Agreement
In connection with the Restructuring, on October 3, 2011, we and our direct and indirect parent companies, entered into a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) with the PIK term loan lenders (the “New Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, as partial consideration for the Restructuring, the New Shareholders will receive, among other things, their pro rata share of 40% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding equity of Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Worldwide”), the direct parent of Holdings, and, subject to certain conditions, additional equity securities bringing the total equity held by the New Shareholders to 44% of Worldwide.
The Shareholders’ Agreement, among other things: (i) allows the New Shareholders to appoint two directors to our board of directors as well as the board of directors of Holdings and Worldwide subject to certain conditions; (ii) restricts our ability to enter into certain affiliate transactions, authorize or issue new equity securities and amend our organizational documents without the consent of the New Shareholders; and (iii) allows holders of 2% or more of the outstanding equity of Worldwide to obtain additional information about us and certain of our parent companies.
