ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On July 27, 2018, DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a five-year senior unsecured multicurrency revolving facility (the “Facility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Citibank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, Commerzbank AG, New York Branch, MUFG Bank, Ltd., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Unicredit Bank AG, New York Branch and TD Bank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents, and the lenders party thereto, for an aggregate principal amount of $700 million, that expires on July 27, 2023. The Facility replaces the existing $500 million five-year senior unsecured multicurrency revolving facility that was scheduled to expire on July 23, 2021 (the “Existing Facility”). The proceeds of the Credit Agreement will be used for working capital from time to time and other general corporate purposes.
As set forth in the Credit Agreement, any Revolving Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will bear interest at an amount equal to a rate calculated based on the type of borrowing and the Company’s credit rating from Moody’s or S&P’s at such time.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, without the approval of the lenders, to engage in mergers, consolidations and asset sales, or to incur liens and covenants that limit the Company’s subsidiaries from incurring further debt, without the approval of the lenders, in each case, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as per the levels prescribed in the Credit Agreement, each of which are consistent with the corresponding terms under the Existing Facility. Upon the occurrence of certain financial or economic events, significant corporate events or certain other events constituting an event of default under the Credit Agreement, all loans outstanding under the Facility (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) may be declared immediately due and payable and all commitments under the Facility may be terminated.
Certain of the lenders and agents and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking, commercial banking and other services for the Company and its affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.
