The Fifth Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date of the Company’s term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, collectively with the Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”) from March 19, 2020 to March 19, 2021.  After giving effect to the Fifth Amendment, approximately $748.3 million of the $900 million Revolving Credit Facility will be drawn or used for letters of credit and approximately $315.0 million will remain outstanding on the Term Loan Facility.  The amortization schedule for the Term Loan Facility was amended to reflect the extended term. There was no change to the pricing grid for either of the Facilities.

Under the Fifth Amendment, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) reaffirmed their guarantees under the Amended and Restated Guaranty dated as of March 19, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including by the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment, the “Guaranty”).  In addition, the Company and the Guarantors reaffirmed the security interests in substantially all of their tangible and intangible property, with certain exceptions (including deposit accounts), granted pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Collateral Agreement dated as of September 16, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including by the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment, the “Collateral Agreement”) to secure their respective obligations with respect to the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty.

The agent and lender parties under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have provided and may, from time to time, continue to provide investment banking, financial advisory, cash management and other services to the Company and its affiliates, for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses, and for which they expect to receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses, respectively. The Company is the beneficiary in respect of letters of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the outstanding amount of approximately $29.9 million, which such letters of credit are issued under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Fifth Amendment, the Guaranty and the Collateral Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to each material contract.  A copy of the Fifth Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report.  A copy of the original Guaranty was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report filed March 20, 2014.  A copy of the original Collateral Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report filed September 22, 2016.  A copy of the Second Amendment was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report filed July 7, 2015.  A copy of the Third Amendment was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report filed September 22, 2016.  A copy of the Fourth Amendment was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report filed March 21, 2018.

Jack in the Box Inc. Extends Maturity of Credit Agreement

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2019--Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) today announced completion of an amendment to its existing senior credit facility. The maturity date for both the revolving credit facility and the term loan was extended from March 2020 to March 2021, resulting in no change to the classification of the company’s long-term debt from prior quarters. The amendment does not impact the company’s previously announced exploration of strategic and financing alternatives.

Following the amendment on May 1, 2019, approximately $315.0 million was outstanding on the term loan and approximately $748.3 million was drawn or used for letters of credit under the $900 million revolving credit facility.

The maximum leverage ratio covenant remains 4.5 times, and allows unlimited cash dividends and share repurchases if pro forma leverage is less than 4.0 times, subject also to pro forma fixed charge covenant compliance. The interest rate on the senior credit facility is based on the company’s leverage ratio and can range from LIBOR plus 1.25 percent to LIBOR plus 2.25 percent. The interest rate immediately after giving effect to the amendment was LIBOR plus 2.25 percent.

The company continues to explore a range of strategic and financing alternatives to maximize shareholder value. Potential alternatives could include, among other things, a sale of the company or executing on the company’s previously announced plans to increase its leverage. The company’s Board of Directors has not set a timetable for the conclusion of this process, nor has it made any decision related to any strategic or financing alternative at this time. In the absence of a strategic transaction, the company remains committed to implementing a new capital structure as soon as practicable.

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC served as lead arranger and lead bookrunner for the amendment.
