Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K on December 15, 2010, Copart, Inc. (“Copart”) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated December 14, 2010 (the “Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”). The Credit Facility is an unsecured credit agreement providing for (i) a $100.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $100.0 million alternative currency borrowing sublimit and a $50.0 million letter of credit sublimit, and (ii) a term loan facility of $400.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”). On January 14, 2011, Copart borrowed the full $400.0 million under the Term Loan Facility. As of September 29, 2011, Copart had made principal repayments of $25.0 million and the outstanding Term Loan Facility balance was $375.0 million.
On September 29, 2011, Copart entered into an Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Bank of America. The Amendment increases the amount available under the Term Loan Facility from $400.0 million to $500.0 million. The Amendment also amends Copart’s quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan Facility to $18.75 million. The Amendment includes certain non-material changes in the calculation of financial covenants under the Term Loan Facility. As previously disclosed, the Term Loan Facility matures and all outstanding borrowings are due on December 14, 2015, and all amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty. Copart incurred an upfront fee of $312,500 in connection with the Amendment.
The Company has also entered into an interest swap agreement that allows the Company to trade its variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate with respect to 75% of the Term Loan Facility. The swap agreement fixes the Company’s interest rate at 90 basis points over the Eurocurrency Rate as defined in the Term Loan Facility. The Eurocurrency Rate can fluctuate between 1.5% and 2.0% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. At the end of the last fiscal quarter the Eurocurrency Rate was 1.5%.
The description of the Amendment provided above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms contained in the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.13b to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
