Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On May 25, 2017, we entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with iSystems Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and iSystems Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iSystems”), pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of iSystems for an aggregate purchase price of $55,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price consists of (i) $32,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustment, (ii) a secured subordinated promissory note (“iSystems Note”) in the principal amount of $5,000,000, subject to adjustment, and (iii) 1,526,332 shares of unregistered common stock valued at $18,000,000 based on a volume-weighted average of the closing prices of our common stock during a 90-day period. The iSystems Note bears interest at an annual rate of 3.5% and matures on May 25, 2019. The unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the promissory note is payable in two installments of $2.5 million on May 25, 2018 and May 25, 2019, subject to adjustment. The Equity Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

 

To finance the iSystems acquisition, we amended and restated our existing credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) to add an additional term loan in the amount of approximately $40,000,000, of which we borrowed approximately $32,000,000 to complete the iSystems acquisition.

 

In connection with the iSystems acquisition, we also entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Seller. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, until May 2018, the holders of the registrable securities received in connection with the acquisition have agreed not to directly or indirectly transfer, sell, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any of our equity securities and not to vote any of our equity securities or solicit proxies other than in favor of each director that our board recommends for election, against any director that our board has not nominated for election, and in accordance with the recommendation of our board on any other matters, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, under the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of the registrable securities have demand registration rights which allow a registration statement to be filed on or about March 31, 2018 and piggyback registration rights which become effective in May 2018. In addition, under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, such holders have the right to nominate one director to our board of directors until the first date that the holders of the registrable securities no longer hold more than the lesser of (x) 5% of our outstanding common stock (as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, reorganizations, exchanges, merger, recapitalizations or similar transaction after the date hereof) and (y) 90% of the shares of our common stock held by such holders as of May 25, 2017. The director nominee initially appointed by the holders will be Daniel Gill and our board will appoint him to serve as a director on June 6, 2017.  Mr. Gill is a founder and a co-managing partner of Silver Oak Services Partners, a private equity firm focused exclusively on business, healthcare and consumer services companies in the middle market. In 2014 Silver Oak acquired iSystems, LLC (currently, a wholly owned subsidiary of iSystems) and Mr. Gill served on the board of directors of iSystems, LLC.

 

The foregoing description of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and iSystems Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and iSystems Note, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

 

On May 25, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders that are parties thereto, amending and restating the terms of the Credit Agreement dated as of March 20, 2014, as amended.

 

The Restated Credit Agreement provides for an increase in the aggregate principal amount of total commitments from approximately $32,714,000 to $75,000,000. This increase includes an additional term loan commitment of approximately $40,286,000 and an additional revolver commitment of $2,000,000.

 

The Restated Credit Agreement amends the applicable margin rates for determining the interest rate payable on outstanding loans as follows:

The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is payable in equal installments of $875,000 beginning on September 30, 2017 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. The outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the term loan is due on May 25, 2022.

 

The Restated Credit Agreement also:

 

·                  amends our leverage ratio covenant to increase the maximum ratio to 5.75:1 at June 30, 2017, stepping down to 3.25:1 at June 30, 2020 and each quarter-end thereafter;

 

·                  amends our fixed charge coverage ratio to be not less than 1.35:1 at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, not less than 1.45:1 at December 31, 2017, and not less than 1.50:1 beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2018 and each quarter-end thereafter; and

 

·                  adds a TTM recurring revenue covenant, requiring software-as-a-service, hardware-as-a-service and cloud subscription and maintenance support revenues to be at least $41,000,000 at June 30, 2017 and stepping up to $60,500,000 at June 30, 2022 and each quarter-end thereafter.

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

 

On May 25, 2017 we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Compass HRM, Inc. (“Compass”) and the sellers and seller representative named therein, pursuant to which the sellers sold 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Compass to us for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price consists of $4,500,000 in cash and a subordinated promissory note (“Compass Note”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000, subject to adjustment. The Compass Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and matures on May 25, 2022. The Compass Note is payable in five annual installments of $300,000 on the anniversary of the closing date, subject to adjustment. Compass is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and provides cloud-based human resource management software, including payroll, benefits, time and attendance, and performance management.
