Credit Facility

On November 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“the Credit Agreement”) originally dated June 3, 2013, (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) to convert the $300 million term loan included in the total Credit Facility commitments, that was previously agreed on March 25, 2021 as part of the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, into a $1.5 billion senior secured revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of lenders led by Wells Fargo, National Association, as agent, swingline and fronting lender. The Credit Facility matures on November 23, 2026. The Company primarily uses the Credit Facility to fund working capital, general operations, dividends, acquisitions and other strategic activities.

On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to its Credit Agreement and 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. The $300 million increase was in the form of a term loan, could be prepaid anytime, and would become due February 14, 2024, contemporaneously with the expiration of the revolving line of credit.

The maximum commitment under the Credit Facility is $1.5 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. The Credit Agreement permits accounts receivable factoring up to the greater of $100 million or 25 percent of the average book value of all accounts receivable over the most recent twelve-month period. The Credit Agreement also permits the utilization of up to $100 million of limits within the Credit Facility for letters of credit to be used in the business.

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 0.75% based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Eurodollar loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.75% 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.

As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had borrowings of $960.0 million and $791.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Agreement and its average daily utilization was $1,037.4 million and $797.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 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 $335 million as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement.
