RE: Team, Inc.
   Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012
   Filed August 7, 2012
   File No. 001-08604

Dear Mr. Spirgel:

This letter responds to the comments Team, Inc. (the “Company”) received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by letter dated March 4, 2013 regarding the above-referenced filing.

Our responses utilize the same captions contained in the SEC’s letter, and are numbered to correspond to the numbers assigned in such letter. For your convenience, our responses are prefaced by the SEC’s corresponding comment presented in italics.

SEC Staff Comment:

Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended May 31, 2012

Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis…., page 15

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

  1. We note your tabular disclosure of contractual obligations for periods May 31, 2012 and May 31, 2011. In future filings, please provide disclosure of payments due by period for contractual obligations pursuant to Item 303(a)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

 

  2. We note the material terms of the New Credit Facility and your compliance with all financial covenants on page 20. In future filings, please discuss the impact of approximately $85,872,000 million of long-term debt maturity obligations for 2016 on your liquidity and capital resource. Consider including discussion of possible methods for managing you debt obligations.

Team Response:

 

  1. We acknowledge the staff’s comment and in future filings we will provide a tabular disclosure of payments due by period for contractual obligations pursuant to Item 303(a)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

 

  2. We are in frequent discussions with the banks in our banking syndicate and maintain positive relationships with each of the syndicate members. Additionally, we are not only compliant with our financial covenants, but are significantly out-performing each of the specific financial measures required under our Credit Facility such that our current performance would support a borrowing base far in excess of our current Credit facility. Further, a substantial portion of our Credit Facility is unused (we had approximately $51 million of unused borrowing capacity at May 31, 2012). If several syndicate members withdrew and their participation in the Credit Facility was not replaced, we would still be able to renew the existing debt upon its maturity. Based upon discussions with the members of our banking syndicate, we anticipate no problem renewing the existing Credit Facility upon maturity, and doing so in its entirety. We agree with the staff that that additional discussion on our methods for managing the debt obligation is merited and would be useful information to investors. We will discuss the impact of our long-term debt maturity and our ability to manage such maturity in future filings.
