Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 20, 2018, NV5 Global, Inc. (the “Company”) as borrower, entered into amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to a Credit Agreement dated December 7, 2016 (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, the other lenders party thereto, and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries as guarantors. Pursuant to the amended Credit Agreement, the lenders provide commitments totaling $125.0 million in aggregate through a termination date of December 20, 2023. The amended Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature permitting the Company to request an increase in the Credit Agreement by an additional amount of up to $100.0 million.

 

Borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement are at variable rates which are, at the Company’s option, tied to a Eurocurrency rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus an applicable rate or a base rate denominated in U.S. dollars. Interest rates are subject to change based on the Company’s Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio. The proceeds of the Credit Agreement are intended to be used to finance permitted acquisitions, capital expenditures, issuance of letters of credit and for general corporate purposes.

 

The amended Credit Agreement contains covenants that may have the effect of limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, enter into a transaction resulting in a Change in Control, create certain new liens, incur certain additional indebtedness, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in new lines of business or sell a substantial part of its assets. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain consolidated leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios.

 

The amended Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including (but not limited to) default in the payment of principal or, following an applicable grace period, interest, breaches of the Company’s covenants or warranties under the Credit Agreement, payment default or acceleration of certain indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation involving the Company or its subsidiaries, certain judgments or uninsured losses, changes in control and certain liabilities related to ERISA based plans.

 

The foregoing is a summary of the material provisions of the amended Credit Agreement, which is Annex A to Amendment No. 1. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein and a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
