On August 17, 2017, Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), Gardner Denver, Inc. (the "U.S. Borrower") and the other parties thereto entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2013 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2016, the "Credit Agreement") among the Company, the U.S. Borrower, GD German Holdings II GmbH, as successor in interest to Gardner Denver Holdings GmbH & Co. KG, GD First (UK) Limited, the lenders or other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer.
The Amendment refinanced (i) the previously existing senior secured U.S. dollar term loan facility with a replacement $1,285.5 million senior secured U.S. dollar term loan facility (the "New Dollar Term Loan Facility") and (ii) the previously existing euro term loan facility with a replacement €615.0 million senior secured euro term loan facility (the "New Euro Term Loan Facility"). The Amendment also lowered the interest rate applicable to the U.S. dollar-denominated and euro-denominated term loans: the applicable margin for loans under the New Dollar Term Loan Facility is 2.75% for LIBOR loans and 1.75% for base rate loans; and the applicable margin for loans under the Euro Term Loan Facility for LIBOR loans is 3.00%. The amendment extended the maturity dates applicable to the U.S. dollar-denominated and euro-denominated term loans, with each of the New Dollar Term Loan Facility and the New Euro Term Loan Facility maturing in July 2024.
The Amendment also includes a prepayment premium of 1.0% in the event of another repricing transaction on or before the six-month anniversary of the Amendment and modifies certain other terms of the Credit Agreement.
