Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 30, 2011, comScore, Inc. (the Company) entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A. (the Lender) providing a two-year revolving line of credit of up to $50 million, subject to certain limitations. The Credit Agreement permits certain borrowings under the line of credit to be drawn in euros. The Credit Agreement also includes a $10 million sublimit to support standby letters of credit.
Payments on the Credit Agreement will be interest only, payable monthly, with outstanding principal and interest due at maturity. Prepayment of outstanding amounts is permitted at any time. Outstanding amounts drawn on the Credit Agreement are subject to interest at a rate of the BBA LIBOR rate per annum plus an applicable margin depending on the Companys funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. The margins on outstanding advances on the line of credit range from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum. Amounts supporting letters of credit bear interest at 1.00% per annum. Beginning on September 30, 2011, the Company is obligated to pay a fee, payable quarterly in arrears, based on the average unused portion of the available amounts under the Credit Agreement at a rate of 0.20% to 0.375% per annum depending on the Companys funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter.
The Credit Agreement is secured by (a) all of the Companys personal property, both owned at the time of the Credit Agreement and thereafter acquired and (b) the capital stock and substantially all of the assets of certain of the Companys subsidiaries. In addition, in connection with the Credit Agreement, certain subsidiaries of the Company also entered into a Continuing and Unconditional Guaranty Agreement in favor of the Lender, dated June 30, 2011 (the Guaranty Agreement), to guarantee the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains various usual and customary covenants, including, but not limited to: financial covenants requiring maximum funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio and cash flow-to-fixed charge ratios and minimum liquidity amounts, and covenants relating to the Companys ability to dispose of assets, make certain acquisitions, be acquired, incur indebtedness, grant liens and make investments.
The Credit Agreement provides for events of default including, but not limited to: non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of certain covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, cross-defaults to material indebtedness and events constituting a change of control. The occurrence of an event of default will increase the applicable rates of interest by 2.0% per annum and could result in the acceleration of the Companys obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are permitted to be used for working capital, issuance of letters of credit by Lender on the Companys behalf and general corporate purposes.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement.
