The Amendment amends the financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a particular consolidated total leverage ratio. In particular, the Amendment increases the maximum permitted consolidated total leverage ratio from the currently applicable 5.00 to 1.00 (which reflects an increase from 4.25 to 1.00 taken by the Company in connection with the closing of a permitted acquisition and which is applicable through the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025) to (a) 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2025 through June 30, 2026, (b) 4.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026, (c) 4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026, and (d) 4.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. During the period commencing on the effective date of the Amendment and ending on the date of delivery of the financial statements and related compliance certificate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 (the "Covenant Relief Period"), the Company will not be permitted to temporarily increase the applicable maximum consolidated total leverage ratio in connection with a permitted acquisition.
In addition to the foregoing, the Amendment, among other things, also: (i) temporarily establishes, during the Covenant Relief Period, a revised applicable rate schedule; (ii) temporarily limits, during the Covenant Relief Period, the Company’s ability to make certain investments; (iii) temporarily restricts, during the Covenant Relief Period, the Company’s ability to incur incremental indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, create certain liens, make certain restricted payments and incur or guarantee indebtedness of excluded subsidiaries; and (iv) temporarily prohibits, during the Covenant Relief Period, the Company from selling, transferring or exclusively licensing material intellectual property to a subsidiary of the Company that is not a loan party under the Credit Agreement or designating any subsidiary that owns or exclusively licenses any material intellectual property as an excluded subsidiary under the Credit Agreement.
The Amendment does not increase the Company’s total indebtedness.
A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the Credit Agreement.
