Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 29, 2017, Franklin Covey Co. (the Company) entered into the Eighth Modification Agreement to its existing amended and restated secured credit agreement (the Restated Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Lender). The Lender also provides the majority of the Company's day-to-day banking services.
The sole purpose of the Eighth Modification Agreement is to adjust the definition of the funded debt to EBITDAR coverage ratio to include 85% of the change in the Company's deferred revenue during the measurement period in calculated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and rent expense (EBITDAR), consistent with the definition of EBITDAR used in the fixed charge coverage ratio. During fiscal 2016, the Company released the All Access Pass (AAP), which allows its clients to access the Company's intellectual property through an electronic portal for a contracted period. The accounting guidance for AAP sales requires the Company to recognize the revenue ratably over the life of the contract with the client. However, the Company invoices the client at the inception of the agreement and the receivable is due within normal terms. Accordingly, the Company's recognized revenues have been reduced during the transition to the AAP business model. The Eighth Modification Agreement is designed to reflect this change in the Company's business and income from operations during the transition period.
The Eighth Modification Agreement preserves existing debt covenants that include (i) a Funded Debt to EBITDAR ratio of less than 3.0 to 1.0 as discussed above; (ii) a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio greater than 1.15 to 1.0; (iii) an annual limit on capital expenditures (excluding capitalized curriculum development) of $8.0 million; and (iv) outstanding borrowings on the revolving line of credit may not exceed 150 percent of consolidated accounts receivable. The other key terms and conditions of the Eighth Modification Agreement are substantially the same as those defined in the Restated Credit Agreement. The Restated Credit Agreement was described in the Company's Form 8-K filed on March 17, 2011, which information is incorporated by reference herein.
In connection with the Eighth Modification Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new Consent and Agreement of Guarantor.
The foregoing description of the Eighth Modification to the Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Eighth Modification Agreement to the Restated Credit Agreement and the Consent and Agreement of Guarantor, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 attached hereto.
