Introductory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the consummation by Dana Incorporated (Dana) of the previously announced acquisition (the Acquisition) of the Drive Systems business of OC Oerlikon Corporation AG, Pfäffikon (OC Oerlikon) on February 28, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Share and Loan Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement), between Dana International Luxembourg S.à r.l., an indirect subsidiary of Dana, and OC Oerlikon, Dana purchased (i) 100% of the shares of GrazianoFairfield AG (the Target) and (ii) certain intercompany loans among OC Oerlikon, the Target and their affiliates (the Intercompany Loans) and assumed certain short term financing facilities (the Short Term Financing Facilities Debt). In connection with the Acquisition, Dana paid approximately CHF 620 million in cash for the Target and the Intercompany Loans and the assumption of the Short Term Financing Facilities Debt.
Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 28, 2019, Dana entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Second Amendment), among Dana, as borrower, certain domestic subsidiaries of Dana party thereto (the Guarantors), the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the Agent). The Second Amendment amends the Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2016 (as amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2017, and the Second Amendment, the Credit Agreement), among Dana, as borrower, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Agent.
The Second Amendment increases availability under the Credit Agreement from an aggregate committed amount of $875.0 million to an aggregate committed amount of $1,700.0 million by: (i) adding a new term loan B tranche in the amount of $450.0 million (the Term B Facility), (ii) increasing the existing term loan A tranche by $225.0 million to an aggregate amount of $500.0 million (the Term A Facility) and (iii) increasing the existing revolving facility by $150.0 million to an aggregate amount of $750.0 million (the Revolving Facility and, together with the Term B Facility and the Term A Facility, the Facilities).
The proceeds of the Term B Facility and the proceeds of the incremental Term A Facility were utilized to finance the Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. The proceeds of the Revolving Facility may be used to provide financing for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of Dana and its subsidiaries.
The Revolving Facility and Term A Facility each mature in August 2022. The Term B Facility has a seven-year term and matures in February 2026. Under the Second Amendment, the Term A Facility amortizes in equal quarterly amounts of approximately $7.9 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on March 31, 2019, and the Term B Facility amortizes in equal quarterly amounts of 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term B Facility on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on June 30, 2019. Availability under the Revolving Facility is reduced for outstanding credit advances and letter of credit issuances. Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, the Term B Facility is subject to an
annual excess cash flow sweep of 50%, stepping down to 0% based on Danas first lien net leverage ratio, of any Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) greater than $10.0 million.
The Facilities are guaranteed by the Guarantors, which consist of all of Danas restricted wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Facilities are secured on a first-priority lien basis on substantially all of the assets of Dana and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
The Term B Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum, and the Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility continue to bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.00% per annum based on Danas total net leverage ratio. In addition, Dana is required to continue to pay a commitment fee to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments at a rate between 0.25% and 0.50% per annum that is determined by reference to Danas total net leverage ratio.
The lenders have the ability, subject to certain cure rights of Dana, to accelerate loan payment dates and charge default interest rates for certain breaches by Dana and the Guarantors of their covenants and other obligations under the Facilities.
The Facilities do not have any financial maintenance covenants, other than a first lien net leverage ratio not to exceed 2.00 to 1.00, which is tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter and applicable to the Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility.
The description above is a summary of the Second Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text, including the exhibits, of the Second Amendment itself, which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
