Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 31, 2020, McGrath RentCorp (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with PGIM, Inc. and the holders of Series B and Series C Notes previously issued pursuant to that certain Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, dated April 21, 2011 (as amended, the “Prior NPA”), among the Company and the other parties to the Note Purchase Agreement.  The Note Purchase Agreement amends and restates, and supersedes in its entirety, the Prior NPA.  Pursuant to the Prior NPA, the Company issued (i) $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.68% Series B Senior Notes due March 17, 2021, and (ii) $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.84% Series C Senior Notes due November 5, 2022, to which the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement shall apply.  

In addition, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company may authorize the issue and sale of additional senior notes (the “Shelf Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of (x) $250 million minus (y) the amount of other Notes (such as the Series B Notes and Series C Notes) then outstanding, to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature, in case of each Shelf Note so issued, no more than 15 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, of no more than 15 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement.  Shelf Notes may be issued and sold from time to time at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and in such amounts as the Board may determine, subject to prospective purchasers’ agreement to purchase the Shelf Notes. The Company will sell the Shelf Notes directly to such purchasers.  The full net proceeds of each Shelf Note will be used in the manner described in the applicable Request for Purchase with respect to such Shelf Note.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties. The Company has agreed to customary affirmative and negative covenants for as long as the Notes are outstanding, including, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, among other things, (i) a maximum leverage ratio; and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

The Series B Notes, Series C Notes and Shelf Notes are subject to customary events of default, including without limitation, (i) failure to make payments on principal or premium, if any, upon maturity; (ii) failure to pay interest within five business days after the same becomes due and payable; (iii) the Company or any of the Guarantors (as defined below) fails to comply with its various covenants and agreements in the Note Purchase Agreement; (iv) the Company or any of the Guarantors makes false representations and warranties in the documents relating to the Note Purchase Agreement; (v) the Company or any of the Company’s Material Subsidiaries (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) fails to pay when due debt obligations in excess of $10,000,000, or such debt obligations may be declared payable earlier than their stated maturity due to breach by the Company or any of the Company’s Material Subsidiaries; (vi) certain insolvency events with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (vii) the Company or any of its subsidiaries becomes subject to final judgments or orders for payment of money that exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate and are not within 60 days after entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal; (viii) the Company incurs liability with respect to certain benefit plans which result or could reasonably be expected to result in payments in excess of $10,000,000; (ix) the documentation

 


 

related to the Note Purchase Agreement ceases to be in full force and effect; or (x) any Change of Control (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of the Company occurs.
