Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 22, 2015, Avid Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), together with the Company’s subsidiary, Avid Technology Worldwide, Inc. (“Avid Worldwide”), as guarantor, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders thereto (the “Lenders”) and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to provide a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) for the Company of up to a maximum of $35.0 million outstanding at any time. The Company may increase the total commitments under the Credit Facility by up to an additional $15.0 million, subject to certain conditions, potentially increasing the Credit Facility to up to $50.0 million. The Credit Facility terminates, and all outstanding loans become due and payable, on December 22, 2019. Prior to the maturity of the Credit Facility, any amounts borrowed may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, reborrowed in whole or in part without penalty. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of the Closing Date.
Interest accrues on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility at a rate of either LIBOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.00% or a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00%, at the option of the Company. The Company must also pay to the Lenders, on a quarterly basis, an unused line fee at a rate of 0.25% per annum on an amount equal to (1) the average lending commitments under the Credit Facility during the immediately preceding quarter less (2) the average daily amount of the outstanding borrowings plus the undrawn amount of any outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility during the immediately preceding quarter. During the term of the Credit Facility, the Company is entitled to reduce the maximum amounts of the Lenders’ commitments, subject to the payment of certain fees based on the amount of any reduction.
The Company and Avid Worldwide provided guarantees and liens on substantially all of their assets to secure the obligations of all obligors under the Credit Facility. Future subsidiary guarantors are also required to become a party to the applicable security agreements.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a Leverage Ratio (defined to mean the ratio of (a) consolidated total funded indebtedness to (b) consolidated EBITDA) of no greater than 2.5 to 1. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio (the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA, to (b) consolidated total interest expense) of no less than 3.5 to 1.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, mandatory prepayments, and events of default under which the Company’s payment obligations may be accelerated.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
Concurrently with the entry into the Credit Agreement, on June 22, 2015 the Company terminated its Credit Agreement dated October 1, 2010 (the "2010 Credit Agreement"), among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as Administrative Agent and the other lender parties thereto. There were no penalties paid by the Company in connection with this termination.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On June 23, 2015, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Orad Hi-Tech Systems Ltd. (“Orad”), an Israeli company listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Orad, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Avid (“Merger Sub”). The acquisition was accomplished by the merger of Merger Sub with and into Orad, and upon consummation of the merger, Merger Sub ceased to exist and Orad became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Orad common stock was canceled and converted into the right to receive consideration equal to €5.67 in cash, without interest. The total consideration represented an enterprise value of approximately $65
million based on the exchange rate on the date of closing, net of estimated cash acquired. The above descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 13, 2015 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
