Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 29, 2024, Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company; certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”); Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Administrative Agent”); and various other lenders. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
The Fourth Amendment modified the term “Consolidated EBITDA” to provide that the additional following amounts will be added back to Consolidated Net Income: (i) costs and expenses related to the voluntary early retirement program during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023; and (ii) fees, costs and expenses in categories identified to the Administrative Agent to the extent incurred during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $7,250,000. Additionally, the modified definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” limits the amount of pro forma “run rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies (collectively, “Savings”) related to the Viewgol Acquisition that can be added back to Consolidated Net Income to an aggregate amount not to exceed $6,600,000; however, Savings related to the Viewgol Acquisition are not subject to the cap of 15% of Consolidated EBITDA that otherwise applies to Savings related to Permitted Acquisitions, restructurings or cost savings initiatives.
Finally, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant was decreased from 1.25:1.00 to 1.15:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024 through and including December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was not in compliance with the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio required by the Credit Agreement, and the Fourth Amendment provides for a one-time waiver of this failure as an event of default.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement continue to be secured pursuant to the Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020, by and among the parties identified as Obligors therein and Regions Bank, as collateral agent, on a first priority basis by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal assets (subject to certain exceptions) of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including certain registered intellectual property and the capital stock of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement also continue to be guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors.
The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Fourth Amendment has been included as an exhibit to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Fourth Amendment were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of the specific date of such agreement; were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by information in confidential disclosures; may not have been intended to be statements of fact, but rather, as a method of allocating contractual risk and governing the contractual rights and relationships between the parties to such agreement; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Fourth Amendment, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
