Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
On March 21, 2012, Compuware Corporation (“Compuware”) entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (“Amendment”) with Comerica Bank, as agent for the several financial institutions signatory to the Amendment (each, individually a “Lender,” and any and all such financial institutions collectively the “Lenders”), which amended Compuware’s Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of November 1, 2007, as amended (“Credit Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity date of the Credit Agreement was extended from November 1, 2012 to March 21, 2017 and the aggregate commitment available to Compuware under the Credit Agreement increased by $100,000,000 to $300,000,000, with several new lenders becoming parties to the Credit Agreement. In addition, the “Revolving Credit Optional Increase” was increased by $100,000,000 to $200,000,000. As a result of the Amendment, Compuware is now also required to maintain at least a 0.25 to 1.0 cushion below its consolidated total leverage ratio maximum of 2.5 to 1.0 on a pro forma basis in the case of any stock repurchases in excess of $50,000,000 in any fiscal year.
A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 4.14 and incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the Amendment is intended to be only a brief summary of the material terms of the Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy filed as an exhibit with this Form 8-K.
