Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Exterran Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “our” or “us”) previously announced the planned separation of our United States (“U.S.”) contract operations and U.S. aftermarket services businesses from our international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses (the “separation”).  Upon completion of the planned separation, Exterran Corporation (“SpinCo”) will own our international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses.

 

RemainCo Credit Facility

 

In preparation for the planned separation, on July 10, 2015, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Archrock Services, L.P. (the “RemainCo Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (the “RemainCo Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as the administrative agent, and various financial institutions as lenders.  The RemainCo Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility to be made available to the RemainCo Borrower in an aggregate amount of $300 million (the “RemainCo Credit Facility”).  Availability under the RemainCo Credit Facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including (i) the payoff and termination of that certain Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2011, by and among us, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto and (ii) the consummation of the separation on or before October 30, 2015 (the date on which those conditions precedent are satisfied is referred to as the “RemainCo Initial Availability Date”).  If the RemainCo Initial Availability Date does not occur on or before October 30, 2015, the RemainCo Credit Facility will terminate. No borrowings are outstanding under the RemainCo Credit Facility because the RemainCo Initial Availability Date has not yet occurred.

 

The RemainCo Credit Facility will mature on the date that is five years after the RemainCo Initial Availability Date.  The RemainCo Borrower’s obligations under the RemainCo Credit Facility will be guaranteed by us and all of our Significant Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the RemainCo Credit Agreement).  In addition, the RemainCo Borrower’s obligations under the RemainCo Credit Facility will be secured by (1) substantially all our assets and substantially all of the assets of the RemainCo Borrower and our Significant Domestic Subsidiaries located in the U.S., including certain real property, and (2) all of the equity interests of our U.S. restricted subsidiaries (excluding Exterran General Partner, L.P. and Exterran GP LLC), all limited partner units and subordinated units in Exterran Partners, L.P. we and our subsidiaries own and 65% of the voting equity interests in certain of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

 

The RemainCo Borrower will have the ability to request the issuance of letters of credit under the RemainCo Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million.  Subject to certain conditions, at the request of the RemainCo Borrower and with the consent of the participating lenders, the total commitments under the RemainCo Credit Facility may be increased from time to time after the RemainCo Initial Availability Date by an aggregate amount of up to $150 million.

 

Borrowings under the RemainCo Credit Facility will bear interest at an interest rate equal to, at the RemainCo Borrower’s option, either the Base Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin.  “Base Rate” means the greatest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%.  The applicable margin for borrowings varies (i) in the case of LIBOR loans, from 1.75% to 2.75% and (ii) in the case of Base Rate loans, from 0.75% to 1.75%, and will be determined based on a total leverage ratio pricing grid. In addition, the RemainCo Borrower is required to pay (i) ticking fees of 0.30% based on the commitment amounts during the period from and after September 23, 2015 until the earlier of the RemainCo Initial Availability Date and the termination of the commitments and (ii) from and after the RemainCo Initial Availability Date, commitment fees based on the daily unused amount of the RemainCo Credit Facility in an amount per annum equal to an applicable percentage, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% and is determined based on the total leverage ratio pricing grid. The RemainCo Borrower will not be required to pay any ticking fees if the RemainCo Initial Availability Date occurs prior to September 23, 2015.

 

The RemainCo Credit Agreement contains various covenants with which we, the RemainCo Borrower and their respective restricted subsidiaries must comply beginning on the RemainCo Initial Availability Date, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, investments, liens on assets, repurchasing equity and

making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. We must maintain, on a consolidated basis, as of the last day of each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (beginning on the last day of the fiscal quarter during which the RemainCo Initial Availability Date occurs) an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.25:1.00 and a Total Leverage Ratio of not greater than 4.25:1.00 (except that the Total Leverage Ratio during a Specified Acquisition Period (as defined in the RemainCo Credit Agreement) shall not be greater than 4.75:1.00), as they are defined in the RemainCo Credit Agreement.  The RemainCo Credit Agreement also contains various customary representations and warranties and events of default.

 

The foregoing description of the RemainCo Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the RemainCo Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

SpinCo Credit Facility

 

In addition, on July 10, 2015, Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. (“EESLP”) and SpinCo entered into a credit agreement (the “SpinCo Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo, as the administrative agent, and various financial institutions as lenders.  The SpinCo Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility to be made available to EESLP in an aggregate amount of $750 million (the “SpinCo Credit Facility”).  Availability under the SpinCo Credit Facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the consummation of the separation on or before October 30, 2015 (the date on which those conditions precedent are satisfied is referred to as the “SpinCo Initial Availability Date”).  If the SpinCo Initial Availability Date does not occur on or before October 30, 2015, the SpinCo Credit Facility will terminate. No borrowings are outstanding under the SpinCo Credit Facility because the SpinCo Initial Availability Date has not yet occurred.

 

The SpinCo Credit Facility will mature on the date that is five years after the SpinCo Initial Availability Date.  EESLP’s obligations under the SpinCo Credit Facility will be guaranteed by SpinCo and all of SpinCo’s Significant Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the SpinCo Credit Agreement).  In addition, EESLP’s obligations under the SpinCo Credit Facility will be secured by (1) substantially all of the assets of EESLP, SpinCo and SpinCo’s Significant Domestic Subsidiaries located in the U.S., including certain real property, and (2) all of the equity interests of the U.S. restricted subsidiaries of SpinCo (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and 65% of the voting equity interests in certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries of SpinCo.

 

EESLP will have the ability to borrow in U.S. dollars or Euros under the SpinCo Credit Facility and to request the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $500 million.  Subject to certain conditions, at the request of EESLP and with the consent of the participating lenders, the total commitments under the SpinCo Credit Facility may be increased from time to time after the SpinCo Initial Availability Date by an aggregate amount of up to $350 million.

 

Borrowings under the SpinCo Credit Facility will bear interest at an interest rate equal to, at EESLP’s option, either the Base Rate or LIBOR (or EURIBOR, in the case of Euro-denominated borrowings) plus the applicable margin.  “Base Rate” means the greatest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%.  The applicable margin for borrowings varies (i) in the case of LIBOR loans, from 1.50% to 2.75% and (ii) in the case of Base Rate loans, from 0.50% to 1.75%, and will be determined based on a total leverage ratio pricing grid. In addition, EESLP is required to pay (i) ticking fees of 0.30% based on the commitment amounts during the period from and after September 23, 2015 until the earlier of the SpinCo Initial Availability Date and the termination of the commitments and (ii) from and after the SpinCo Initial Availability Date, commitment fees based on the daily unused amount of the SpinCo Credit Facility in an amount per annum equal to an applicable percentage, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% and is determined based on the total leverage ratio pricing grid. EESLP will not be required to pay any ticking fees if the SpinCo Initial Availability Date occurs prior to September 23, 2015.

 

The SpinCo Credit Agreement contains various covenants with which EESLP, SpinCo and their respective restricted subsidiaries must comply beginning on the SpinCo Initial Availability Date, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, investments, liens on assets, repurchasing equity and making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar

types of agreements. SpinCo must maintain, on a consolidated basis, as of the last day of each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (beginning on the last day of the fiscal quarter during which the SpinCo Initial Availability Date occurs) an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.25:1.00, a Total Leverage Ratio of not greater than 4.50:1.00 and a Senior Secured Leverage ratio of not greater than 2.75:1.00, as they are defined in the SpinCo Credit Agreement.  The SpinCo Credit Agreement also contains various customary representations and warranties and events of default.

 

The foregoing description of the SpinCo Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the SpinCo Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
