Item 1.01.                          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 20, 2017, Intersections Inc. (the "Company") refinanced its existing senior secured indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement (as defined below) with a new $20 million term loan facility (which was fully funded at closing) with PEAK6 Investments, L.P.
New Credit Agreement
In order to consummate the refinancing, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with PEAK6 Investments, L.P., as Term Lender and as Administrative Agent, and also entered into a security agreement, a pledge and security agreement, an intellectual property security agreement and other related documents. The New Credit Agreement extends the maturity date, reduces and defers mandatory quarterly principal payments, and carries a lower interest rate compared to the Prior Credit Agreement.  The maturity date of the New Credit Agreement is April 20, 2021 and quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million commencing on September 30, 2019.  The initial interest rate is 9.486% per annum, to be adjusted annually on March 31 to 7.75% plus 1 year LIBOR, and interest is payable monthly. The New Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of Intersections and its subsidiaries and a pledge by Intersections of stock and membership interests it holds in any domestic and first-tier foreign subsidiaries.
The Company used approximately $13.9 million of the net proceeds from the New Credit Agreement to repay in full the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement dated as of March 21, 2016, as amended from time to time (the "Prior Credit Agreement"), among the Company, the other Credit Parties party thereto, Crystal Financial SPV LLC, as term lender, and Crystal Financial LLC, as administrative agent for the secured parties, and to pay related interest and prepayment penalties, transaction fees and expenses. The Company expects to use the remainder of the proceeds from the New Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes, including to accelerate both subscriber acquisition and product development.
The New Credit Agreement also requires the prepayment of the aggregate principal amount outstanding in an amount equal to 25% of the Company's excess cash flow (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) for each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 and continuing thereafter. Certain other events defined in the New Credit Agreement require prepayment of the aggregate principal amount of the term loan, including all or a portion of proceeds received from asset dispositions (except for proceeds from the sale of assets in our i4c subsidiary of up to $2.2 million), casualty events, extraordinary receipts, and equity issuances. In addition, we are permitted to invest up to $2.2 million, in the aggregate inclusive of amounts already invested, in our i4c subsidiary to complete the wind-down, which is expected to be completed by June 30, 2017 (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may permit). Once amounts borrowed have been paid or prepaid, they may not be reborrowed.
The New Credit Agreement contains certain customary covenants, including among other things covenants that limit or restrict the following: the incurrence of liens; the making of investments including a prohibition of any capital contributions to our subsidiary i4c other than to complete the wind-down as noted above and fair and reasonable allocation of overhead and administrative expenses; the incurrence of certain indebtedness; mergers, dissolutions, liquidations, or consolidations; acquisitions (other than certain permitted acquisitions); sales of substantially all of our or any of our subsidiaries' assets, except for the orderly wind down of the Pet Health Monitoring, and the exits of our Bail Bonds Industry Solutions and Habits at Work businesses; the declaration of certain dividends or distributions; transactions with affiliates (other than parties to the New Credit Agreement) other than on fair and reasonable terms; and the formation or acquisition of any direct or indirect domestic or first-tier foreign subsidiary unless such subsidiary becomes a guarantor and enters into certain security documents.
The New Credit Agreement requires us to maintain at all times a minimum cash on hand amount, as defined in the New Credit Agreement, of at least 20% of the total amount outstanding under the term loan. We are also required to maintain compliance on a quarterly basis commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2017 with minimum consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Agreement and adjusted for certain non-cash, non-recurring and other items, and up to $4.25 million of non-recurring charges incurred in the wind-down events) of $2 million; provided consolidated EBITDA from the immediately preceding quarter in excess of $2 million may be added to a current quarter to make up any shortfall and provided further that when we have not met the minimum consolidated EBITDA test for any quarter (even after including excess consolidated EBITDA for the prior quarter) the test for compliance is deferred until the end of the next quarter and we shall be deemed to be in compliance if, taking into account consolidated EBITDA in excess of $2 million from the prior quarter, consolidated EBITDA from the test quarter, and consolidated EBITDA in excess of $2 million from the subsequent quarter, we pass the minimum compliance test.  Excess consolidated EBITDA in any quarter can be counted only once for determining compliance with this covenant.
The New Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including among other things non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, material judgment defaults, ERISA defaults, cross-defaults to other indebtedness, invalidity of loan documents defaults, change in control defaults, conduct of business defaults, and criminal and regulatory action defaults.  Further, if our rights to provide services to subscribers under our agreements with Bank of America cease as a result of Bank of America transferring the provision of such services or using a different service provider and such cessation results in greater than a 20% decline in our consolidated revenue, a covenant violation (and resulting event of default) will arise under the New Credit Agreement.
Warrant
In connection with the New Credit Agreement, PEAK6 Investments, L.P. purchased, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million in cash, a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.  The Warrant is immediately exercisable, has a five-year term and shall be exercised solely by a "net share settlement" feature that requires the holder to exercise the Warrant without a cash payment upon the terms set forth therein. The Warrant includes a feature to provide for increases in the number of shares issuable upon exercise in the event of a future change of control transaction (as defined therein), with the number of increased shares based upon the time elapsed from issuance of the Warrant and the difference between the exercise price of the Warrant and the transaction price in the change of control, all as more fully set forth in the Warrant. The Warrant also provides for adjustments in the underlying number of shares and exercise price in the event of recapitalizations, stock splits or dividends and other corporate events.
Stock Redemption
In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of the Warrant to repurchase 419,498 shares of the Company's common stock, pursuant to a redemption agreement (the "Redemption Agreement") from PEAK6 Capital Management LLC at a price of $3.60 per share, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $1.5 million. PEAK6 Capital Management LLC is an affiliate of PEAK6 Investments.
The repurchase was made pursuant to the Company's previously announced share repurchase program. Following the repurchase, the Company has approximately $15.3 million remaining under its repurchase program. The repurchases may be made on the open market, in block trades, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. However, the Company is currently prohibited from repurchasing any shares of common stock under the New Credit Agreement.
