Debt with Commercial Bank

On May 19, 2014, Ebix, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated April 26, 2012 (as previously amended), among the Company, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as a lender, RBS Citizens, N.A. as a lender, and Citibank, N.A., ("CitiBank") as Administrative Agent and as a lender (the “Credit Agreement”). The Third Amendment amends the Company’s obligations with respect to certain covenants under the Credit Agreement, to provide flexibility to the Company to make certain specified business acquisitions, while allowing the Company to make early payments towards reduction of its bank debt. Furthermore, the Third Amendment amends the Credit Agreement by reducing the revolving commitments of the lenders to $7.84 million as of May 19, 2014, for which the Company made a principal payment in the amount of $15.0 million, and to zero as of September 30, 2014. Additionally, the Company will make, in addition to the scheduled principal payments otherwise required, a prepayment of principal on the term loans under the Credit Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million on December 31, 2014.

On April 26, 2012, Ebix entered into a credit agreement providing for a $100 million secured syndicated credit facility (the “Secured Syndicated Credit Facility”) with Citibank as administrative agent and Citibank, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, and RBS Citizens, N.A. as joint lenders. The financing was comprised of a four-year, $45 million secured revolving credit facility, a $45 million secured term loan which amortizes over a four year period with quarterly principal and interest payments that commenced on June 30, 2012 and a final payment of all remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest due on April 26, 2016, and an accordion feature that provides for the expansion of the credit facility by an additional $10 million. The interest rate applicable to the Secured Syndicated Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 1.50% or currently 1.65%. Under the Secured Syndicated Credit Facility the maximum interest rate that could be charged depending upon the Company's leverage ratio is LIBOR plus 2.00%. The credit facility is used by the Company to fund working capital requirements primarily in support of current operations, organic growth, and accretive business acquisitions. The Company incurred $744 thousand of origination costs in connection with this new credit facility, and is amortizing these costs into interest expense over the four-year life of the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2014 the Company's consolidated balance sheet includes $341 thousand of remaining deferred financing costs. The underlying financing agreement contains financial covenants regarding the Company's annualized EBITDA, fixed charge coverage ratio, and leverage ratio, as well as certain restrictive covenants pertaining to such matters as the incurrence of new debt, the aggregate amount of repurchases of the Company's equity shares, dividend payments, and the consummation of new business acquisitions. The Company currently is in compliance with all such financial and restrictive covenants.
