Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 30, 2013, TaxACT, Inc. ("TaxACT") and TaxACT Holdings, Inc. ("TaxACT Holdings") entered into a Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") and ancillary agreements and documents (collectively, with the Credit Agreement, the "Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and a lender ("Wells
Fargo"), BMO Harris Bank, N.A., Silicon Valley Bank, Bank of America, N.A., and RBS Citizens, N.A. (collectively, with Wells Fargo, the "Lenders"). TaxACT Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blucora, Inc. ("Blucora"),
and TaxACT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TaxACT Holdings. The Credit Agreement replaces the previous credit agreement entered into by TaxACT and TaxACT Holdings on January 31, 2012, which has been terminated in connection with the execution
of the Credit Agreement (see further discussion below under Item 1.02).
The Credit Agreement was entered into for the purpose of
refinancing the previous credit agreement on more favorable terms. TaxACT Holdings executed the Credit Agreement solely as a guarantor and granted a security interest in 100% of the outstanding equity in TaxACT as collateral for the Credit Facility.
Blucora is not a party to the Credit Agreement, and has not guaranteed any of the obligations of its subsidiaries under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility consists of a $100,000,000 revolving credit commitment that reduces to $90,000,000 on August 30, 2014, to $80,000,000
on August 30, 2015, and to $70,000,000 on August 30, 2016. The final maturity date of the Credit Facility is August 30, 2018. TaxACT initially borrowed approximately $65,300,000 under the Credit Facility, which was used to pay off the
previous credit facility and to pay certain expenses and fees related to the Credit Agreement.
TaxACT will pay a rate of interest, at its
option, of either (i) LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% and 2.5%, or (ii) a specified variable rate plus a margin of between 0.75% and 1.5%, in each case with the applicable margin within the range dependent upon TaxACT's ratio of
leverage to EBITDA over the previous four quarters. In addition, TaxACT paid, and will pay during the term of the Credit Facility, the Lenders and Wells Fargo certain customary fees and costs.
The Credit Agreement contains the following customary terms and conditions that are applicable to TaxACT Holdings and TaxACT (but not
