Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 19, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Blackhawk Network Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with respect to the Credit Agreement dated as of March 28, 2014 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided such terms in the Credit Agreement (attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K dated March 28, 2014).
Pursuant to the Amendment, under the Credit Agreement’s accordian provision, certain existing lenders agreed to provide additional revolving credit up to $50 million, and Wells Fargo agreed to allocate to $75 million (previously, $15 million) to the Swingline Commitment sublimit amount. The Amendment further provides that, if the Company consummates its proposed acquisition of Achievers Corp., previously disclosed on the Company’s Form 8-K dated June 11, 2015, on or before the 90th day following the Effective Date, then each of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio restrictions in the Credit Agreement, which currently decrease over time from 3.5 to 1 until reaching 3.0 to 1.0 in the first fiscal quarter of 2016, will be deferred by two fiscal quarters and instead reach 3.0 to 1.0 in the Company’s third fiscal quarter of 2016.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
