Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Credit Facilities

On February 13, 2012, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (“Valeant”) entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of Valeant, as Guarantors, each of the lenders named therein, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC (“GSLP”) and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (“Morgan Stanley”), as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) and Morgan Stanley, as Co-Syndication Agents, JPMorgan, as Issuing Bank, GSLP, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other agents party thereto. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the terms of an amended and restated credit agreement entered into by Valeant on October 20, 2011, which provided for a $275 million revolving credit facility, including a sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and a sublimit for swing line loans (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a $1.725 billion senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”), which included a $500 million delayed draw term loan facility, and which was supplemented by the Joinder Agreement entered into by Valeant on December 19, 2011 that further increased the size of the Term Loan A Facility to $2.225 billion. The Credit Agreement provides for an additional $600 million senior secured term loan B facility (the “Term Loan B Facility” and, together with the Term Loan A Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”; the Term Loan Facilities together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).

Valeant used a portion of the proceeds of its initial draw under the Term Loan B Facility to fund repayment of certain outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility and will use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.

The loans under the Credit Facilities may be made to, and the letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility may be issued on behalf of, Valeant. All borrowings under the Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default or an event of default and the accuracy in all material respects of representations and warranties.

Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Valeant’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest quoted in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section, as the Prime Rate (currently defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation’s thirty largest banks) and (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBO rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the Credit Facilities is 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to LIBO rate borrowings. Interest rates for the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility are subject to increase or decrease quarterly based on leverage ratios.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Credit Facilities, Valeant is required to pay commitment fees of 0.50% per annum in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. Valeant also is required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable margin on LIBO rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit and agency fees.

Subject to certain exceptions and customary baskets set forth in the Credit Agreement, Valeant is required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Credit Facilities under certain circumstances, including from (1) 100% of net cash proceeds from asset sales outside the ordinary course of business (subject to reinvestment rights), (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds of insurance and condemnation proceeds for property or asset losses (subject to reinvestment rights and net proceeds threshold), (3) 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of equity securities subject to decrease based on leverage ratios, (4) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the incurrence of debt (other than permitted debt as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (5) 50% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) subject to decrease based on leverage ratios.

 

2


Valeant is permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the revolving commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBO rate loans. Except for repayments of outstanding loans under the Term Loan B Facility in connection with certain refinancings on or prior to February 13, 2013, Valeant is permitted to voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Term Loan Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBO rate loans. Repayments of outstanding loans under the Term Loan B Facility in connection with certain refinancings on or prior to February 13, 2013 require a prepayment premium of 1% of such loans prepaid.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and does not amortize. The Term Loan A Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and amortizes quarterly commencing March 31, 2012 at an initial annual rate of 5.0%. The amortization schedule under the Term Loan A Facility will increase to 10.0% annually commencing March 31, 2013 and 20% annually commencing March 31, 2014, payable in quarterly installments. The Term Loan B Facility matures on February 13, 2019 and amortizes quarterly commencing June 30, 2012 at an annual rate of 1.0%.

Valeant’s obligations under the Credit Facilities, as well as certain hedging arrangements and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the Credit Facilities (or affiliates thereof), are guaranteed by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, a Delaware corporation (“VPI”), Valeant Holdco 2 Pty Ltd. (“Valeant Holdco”), Wirra Holdings Pty Limited (“Wirra Holdings”), Wirra Operations Pty Limited (“Wirra Operations”), iNova Pharmaceuticals (Australia) Pty Ltd. (“iNova Pharmaceuticals”), iNova Sub Pty Ltd. (“iNova Sub”), Wirra IP Pty Ltd. (“Wirra IP”), and other subsidiaries that are guarantors under VPI’s indentures.

Valeant’s obligations and the obligations of the guarantors under the Credit Facilities and certain hedging arrangements and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the Credit Facilities (or affiliates thereof) are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of VPI and the guarantors, including 100% of the capital stock of VPI and each domestic subsidiary of VPI, 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary of VPI that is directly owned by VPI or a guarantor that is a subsidiary of VPI, and 100% of the capital stock of each other material subsidiary of Valeant (other than VPI’s subsidiaries), in each case subject to certain exclusions set forth in the credit documentation governing the Credit Facilities.

The Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the ability of Valeant and its subsidiaries to:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

create liens;

 

   

enter into agreements and other arrangements that include negative pledge clauses;

 

   

pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness;

 

   

create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by subsidiaries;

 

   

make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions;

 

   

merge, amalgamate or sell assets, including equity interests of the subsidiaries;

 

   

enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

 

   

engage in transactions with affiliates;

 

   

enter into new lines of business; and

 

   

enter into amendments of or waivers under subordinated indebtedness, organizational documents and certain other material agreements.

The Credit Agreement requires that Valeant maintain a Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 1.75:1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011 and not to exceed 2.50 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012. The Credit Agreement requires that Valeant maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 3.00:1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default, as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, Valeant may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities.

The foregoing summary of the Credit Facilities is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full and complete text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
