Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On November 19, 2012, MEDNAX, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which further amends and restates the Company’s October 21, 2011 amended and restated credit agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for an $800 million unsecured revolving credit facility and includes a $75 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit and a $37.5 million sub-facility for swingline loans. The Company may increase the credit facility to up to $1.0 billion, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions. The credit facility matures on November 17, 2017 and is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliated professional associations and corporations. At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Credit Agreement (other than swingline loans) will bear interest at (i) the alternate base rate (defined as the higher of (a) the Wells Fargo Bank prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (c) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin rate ranging from 0.125% to 0.750% (currently 0.125%) based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% (currently 1.125%) based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Swingline loans will bear interest at the alternate base rate plus the applicable margin. The Credit Agreement also calls for other customary fees and charges, including an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.150% to 0.325% (currently 0.150%) of the unused lending commitments, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions, including covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, not to exceed a specified consolidated leverage ratio and to comply with laws, and restrictions on the ability of the Company to pay dividends and make certain other distributions, as specified therein. Failure to comply with these covenants would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement, notwithstanding the ability of the Company to meet its debt service obligations. The Credit Agreement also includes various customary remedies for the lenders following an event of default, including the acceleration of repayment of outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement was provided by a syndicate of banks with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association, as Co-Syndication Agents, and Fifth Third Bank, as Documentation Agent. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and U.S. Bank National Association acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
