    Introductory Note

    This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the completion of the previously announced Acquisition (as defined below) pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 1, 2024, by and among Shutterstock, Inc. (the “Company”), Garnett-Saunders Pty Ltd, Draconis Holdings Pty Ltd and Ta’eed Felah Pty Ltd (collectively, the “Sellers”) and Shutterstock AUS EMU Pty Ltd., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”).

    Item 1.01
    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

    On July 22, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the lenders. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a five-year (i) senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million and (ii) senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit subfacility and a swingline facility.

    At the Company’s option, loans under the A&R Credit Agreement accrue interest at a per annum rate based on either (i) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.375% to 0.750%, determined based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio or (ii) the Term SOFR rate (for interest periods of 1, 3 or 6 months) plus a margin ranging from 1.375% to 1.750%, determined based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.100%. The Company is also obligated to pay other customary closing fees, commitment fees and letter of credit fees for a facility of this size and type.

    On the Effective Date, the Company borrowed $280 million under the A&R Credit Agreement for use in connection with the acquisition described under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and for general corporate purposes.

    The A&R Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, undergo certain fundamental changes, make investments, make certain restricted payments, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case, subject to limitations and exceptions set forth in the A&R Credit Agreement. The Company is also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio, in each case, determined in accordance with the terms of the A&R Credit Agreement.

    The A&R Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default that include, among other things, certain payment defaults, cross defaults to other indebtedness, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, change of control defaults, judgment defaults, and bankruptcy and insolvency defaults. If an event of default exists, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the lenders may require immediate payment of all obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement and may exercise certain other rights and remedies provided for under the A&R Credit Agreement, the other loan documents and applicable law. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply to certain obligations during the existence of an event of default under the A&R Credit Agreement at a per annum rate equal to 2.00% above the applicable interest rate.
     
    The foregoing description of the A&R Credit Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

    The material terms of the Purchase Agreement were previously reported in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 2, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text, terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 2, 2024 and incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

    On July 22, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Acquisition. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

    The information furnished pursuant to Items 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
