Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Open Text Corporation ("Open Text") and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a First Amendment, dated as of December 16, 2013 (the "Amendment"), to (i) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated as of November 9, 2011, among Open Text ULC, as term borrower, Open Text ULC, Open Text Inc. and Open Text, as revolving credit borrowers, the domestic guarantors party thereto, each of the lenders party thereto, Barclays Bank PLC, as sole administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Administrative Agent"), and Royal Bank of Canada, as documentary credit lender; and (ii) the Amended and Restated Security and Pledge Agreement (the "Security Agreement"), dated as of November 9, 2011, among Open Text Inc., Open Text Holdings, Inc., Open Text USA Inc., Vignette Partnership, LP, EasyLink Services International Corporation and the Administrative Agent.
Upon effectiveness (as described below), the Amendment, among other things, (i) modifies the leverage ratio condition for incurring debt under a debt basket to a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio of less than 2.75:1.00 (formerly 2.50:1.00); and (ii) replaces the income-based basket in the restricted payments negative covenant (formerly 50% of consolidated net income) with a basket of up to 35% of consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein).  In addition, the Amendment includes certain technical and other amendments to each of the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement, including the addition of a form of intercreditor agreement as a schedule to the Credit Agreement.
Effectiveness of the Amendment is subject to certain conditions precedent, including the completion of the previously announced acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of GXS Group, Inc.  To the extent that such acquisition has not taken or does not take place or any of the other conditions precedent have not been satisfied, the Amendment will not be effective.  Open Text will pay a one-time amendment fee of 5 basis points to participating lenders, based on outstanding commitments and loans.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
