On April 3, 2018, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource S.à r.l., entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as administrative agent and collateral agent and the other lender parties thereto, pursuant to which the lenders have agreed to extend credit to Altisource S.à r.l. in the form of (i) Term B Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $412.0 million and (ii) a $15.0 million revolving credit facility, with Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Altisource S.à r.l. acting as guarantors.
The proceeds of the Term B Loans were used to refinance Altisource S.à r.l.’s prior term loans under the credit agreement dated as of November 27, 2012 (see Note 10). When drawn, the proceeds from the revolving credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes and other uses permitted under the Credit Agreement.
As further summarized below, the Credit Agreement contains several changes from the prior credit agreement and retains certain other provisions. These include the following:
The Term B Loans mature in April 2024 while the term loans under the prior credit agreement would have matured in December 2020.
The Credit Agreement includes a revolving credit facility with a maintenance covenant that will apply to Altisource S.à r.l. only if funds are drawn on the revolving credit facility as of the last day of a fiscal quarter.
The new Term B Loans have no financial maintenance covenants and are similar to Altisource S.à r.l.’s term loans under the prior credit agreement.
The net debt definition in the Credit Agreement permits Altisource S.à r.l. to reduce net debt by up to $75 million in marketable securities while the prior credit agreement did not reduce net debt by marketable securities.
The Available Amount accumulated under the prior credit agreement is being carried over to the Credit Agreement. The Available Amount can be used to make certain restricted payments, investments and payments, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Altisource S.à r.l. may incur incremental indebtedness under the Credit Agreement from one or more incremental lenders, which may include existing lenders, in an aggregate incremental principal amount not to exceed $125 million (compared to $200 million in the prior credit agreement), subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including a sublimit of $80 million with respect to incremental revolving credit commitments. The lenders have no obligation to provide any incremental indebtedness.
The new Term B Loans amortize $41.2 million in year 1, $41.2 million in year 2 and $12.4 million per year in each of the subsequent years. Amortization under the prior credit agreement was equal to $5.9 million per year.
The new Term B Loans bear interest at rates based upon, at Altisource S.à r.l.’s option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Eurodollar Rate Term Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a three month interest period and (y) 1.00% plus (ii) 4.00%. Eurodollar Rate Loans under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a rate per annum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a three month interest period plus 4.00%. Base Rate Term Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Base Rate and (y) 2.00% plus (ii) 3.00%. Base Rate loans under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a rate per annum of the Base Rate plus 3.00%. Interest under the prior credit agreement was based upon, at Altisource S.à r.l.’s option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate loans bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the applicable interest period and (y) 1.00% plus (ii) a 3.50% margin. Base Rate loans bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Base Rate and (y) 2.00% plus (ii) 2.50%.
Mandatory repayments of the new Term B Loans from asset sales that exceed $25 million in a given calendar year and from proceeds from the sale RESI shares held on April 3, 2018 are applied against contractual amortization of the Term B Loans.
Similar to the prior credit agreement, the Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions customary for transactions of this type. These include covenants limiting Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A.’s, Altisource S.à r.l.’s and each Restricted Subsidiary’s ability, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur liens on its assets, (iii) agree to any additional negative pledges, (iv) pay dividends and make other Restricted Junior Payments, (v) limit the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends or distribute assets, (vi) make investments, (vii) enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation, liquidate, wind-up or dissolve, or convey any part of its business, assets or property, or acquire the business, property or assets of another person, subject to certain exceptions, (viii) dispose of the equity interests of any Material Subsidiaries, whether through a sale of the capital stock, dissolution, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Material Subsidiary, (ix) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (x) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (xi) engage in a line of business substantially different than existing business and businesses reasonably related, complimentary or ancillary thereto, (xii) modify the terms of indebtedness junior to the loans contemplated by the Credit Agreement, (xiii) modify the terms of its organizational documents in any material respect, (xiv) change its fiscal year, (xv) permit Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. to hold material assets, have material liabilities, or engage in certain activities, in each case, except as contemplated by the Credit Agreement, (xvi) use the proceeds of the loans for certain purposes, and (xvii) to the extent any Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding on the last day of a fiscal quarter, permit the Total Leverage Ratio to be greater than 3.50:1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter (such covenant, the “Springing Revolving Financial Covenant”). The Springing Revolving Financial Covenant is for the benefit of Lenders having Revolving Credit Loans only and is subject to a customary cure provision.
