Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On January 22, 2020, Jabil Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a senior unsecured credit agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $2.0 billion, or its currency equivalent (the “Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility”), a three-year revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $700.0 million, or its currency equivalent (the “Three-Year Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”), which Revolving Credit Facilities may, subject to the lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $1.0 billion, or its currency equivalent, and a $300.0 million five-year term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facilities, the “Credit Facilities”). The Agreement was entered into among the Company; the initial lenders named therein; Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., as co-syndication agents; BNP Paribas, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as documentation agents; and Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank, Ltd., and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility expire approximately five years from the date of closing and the Three-Year Revolving Credit Facility expires approximately three years from the date of closing, but in the case of the Revolving Credit Facilities, each is subject to one-year extension options subject to the Company’s provision of notice prior to the first, second and/or third anniversaries of the closing date (subject to the lenders’ discretion).
Interest and fees on advances under the Revolving Credit Facilities and Term Loan Facility are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch, Inc. (collectively, the “Rating Agencies”), all as more fully described in the Agreement. Interest is charged at a rate equal to (a) for the Revolving Credit Facilities, either 0.000% to 0.450% above the base rate or 0.975% to 1.450% above the Eurocurrency rate and (b) for the Term Loan Facility, either 0.125% to 0.750% above the base rate or 1.125% to 1.750% above the Eurocurrency rate, in each case where the base rate represents the greatest of Citibank, N.A.’s base rate, 0.50% above the federal funds rate, and 1.0% above one-month LIBOR, but not less than zero, and the Eurocurrency rate represents adjusted LIBOR or adjusted CDOR, as applicable, for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero, each as more fully described in the Agreement. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on the amount of outstanding letters of credit. Based on the Company’s current non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by the Rating Agencies the current rates of interest for the Revolving Credit Facilities are 0.075% above the base rate and 1.075% above the Eurocurrency rate and for the Term Loan Facility are 0.250% above the base rate and 1.250% above the Eurocurrency rate. The Credit Facilities include various covenants, limitations and events of default customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers.
As of the date of the Agreement, draws in the approximate amount of $523 million in revolving credit advances have been made and are outstanding under the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility, and draws in the amount of $300 million in advances have been made and are outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.
Certain of the lenders under the Credit Facilities and their affiliates have various other relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, loans, letter of credit and bank guarantee facilities, investment banking and trust services. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into foreign exchange contracts and other derivative arrangements with certain of the lenders and their affiliates. In addition, various agents and lenders under the Credit Facilities held positions as agent and/or lender under the Company’s Existing Credit Agreements, as defined below.
In connection with the Company’s entry into the Agreement, the Company terminated the Company’s amended and restated five year credit agreement dated November 8, 2017 (the “2017 Existing Credit Agreement”) and the credit agreement dated August 24, 2018 (the “2018 Existing Credit Agreement” and together with the 2017 Existing Credit Agreement, the “Existing Credit Agreements”). The 2017 Existing Credit Agreement was entered into among the Company; the initial lenders named therein; Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., as co-syndication agents; and BNP Paribas, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as documentation agents; and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The 2018 Existing Credit Agreement was entered into among the Company; the initial lenders named therein; Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent; and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Company did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with such terminations.
Certain of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreements and their affiliates have various other relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, loans, letter of credit and bank guarantee facilities, investment banking and trust services. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into foreign exchange contracts and other derivative arrangements with certain of the lenders and their affiliates. In addition, various agents and lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement hold positions as agent and/or lender under the Agreement.
