(10)COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit Facility

On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Amended and Restated Security Agreement originally dated as of June 3, 2013, (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) to increase the total commitments by $300 million to $1.2 billion by exercising the accordion feature that was included in the senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent, swingline and fronting lender. The Credit Facility matures on February 14, 2024. The $300 million increase is in the form of a term loan, which can be prepaid anytime and will become due February 14, 2024, contemporaneously with the expiration of the revolving line of credit.

The maximum commitment under the Credit Facility is $1.2 billion in the aggregate, if certain conditions are satisfied. The Credit Facility commitment fees are payable to the lenders in an amount equal to the unused portion of the Credit Facility multiplied by a rate per annum as determined by reference to the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, which remained unchanged from the 2016 Credit Facility, except that the Company is now obligated to maintain a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement permits accounts receivable factoring up to the greater of $75 million or 25 percent of the average book value of all accounts receivable over the most recent twelve-month period.

Base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the greatest of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, (ii) one half of 1% in excess of the federal funds effective rate, and (iii) 1.25% in excess of the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”); plus in each case a margin of 0% to 0.875% based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Eurodollar loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.875% based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Alternate currency loans bear interest at rates applicable to their respective currencies.

Letter of credit fees are one eighth of 1% of the stated amount of the letter of credit on the date of issuance, renewal or amendment, plus an annual fee equal to the borrowing margin for Eurodollar loans.

The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Facility to fund working capital, general operations, dividends and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had borrowings of $834.0 million and $385.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Facility, and its average daily utilization was $662.8 million and $548.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had increased borrowings under the Credit Facility from late March 2020 through late September 2020, related to precautionary measures taken to proactively strengthen the Company’s cash reserves and financial flexibility in response to COVID-19 related uncertainties. As of September 30, 2020, those additional borrowings had been repaid. During early April 2021, the Company increased borrowings by approximately $500 million in connection with the acquisition of Avtex (see Note 2). Based on the current level of availability based on the covenant calculations, the Company’s remaining borrowing capacity was approximately $360 million as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement.

Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2021, outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $2.8 million and primarily guaranteed workers’ compensation and other insurance related obligations. As of June 30, 2021, letters of credit and contract performance guarantees issued outside of the Credit Agreement totaled $0.4 million.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company has been involved in legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for exposures associated with such legal actions to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and reasonably estimable. To the extent specific reserves have not been made for certain legal proceedings, their ultimate outcome, and consequently, an estimate of possible loss, if any, cannot reasonably be determined at this time.

Based on currently available information and advice received from counsel, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate resolution of any current legal proceedings, except as otherwise specifically reserved for in its financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
