Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On August 16, 2016, Marketo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Marketo” or the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Milestone Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Milestone Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Marketo, certain domestic subsidiaries of Marketo, as guarantors (together with Parent, the “Guarantors”), the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Golub Capital Markets LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Marketo incurred certain loans, and Marketo and the Guarantors granted a first priority security interest (subject to customary priming liens) in substantially all of their assets to secure their obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Principal and Maturity
The lenders under the Credit Agreement have advanced to Marketo $375,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loans with a maturity date of August 16, 2021 and have also provided Marketo with a revolving line of credit of up to $25,000,000 with a maturity date of August 16, 2021 (the “Credit Facilities”). No amortization of the term loans under the Credit Agreement is required prior to the final maturity date.
Interest Rate
Loans under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at Marketo’s option, the adjusted Eurodollar rate or an alternate base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Both term and revolving loans have applicable margins of 9.50%, in the case of Eurodollar loans, or 8.50%, in the case of base rate loans.
Mandatory Prepayments
Subject to certain customary exceptions, the Credit Facilities are subject to mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to: (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain non-ordinary course sales or other dispositions of assets (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) by Marketo or certain of its subsidiaries, subject to customary reinvestment provisions and certain other exceptions; (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds from issuances or incurrences of debt by Marketo or certain of its subsidiaries that are not permitted under the Credit Agreement; and (3) a customary annual excess cash flow prepayment.
Certain Other Provisions
The Credit Agreement contains a number of customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Credit Agreement also requires Marketo and the Guarantors to maintain certain liquidity levels and recurring revenue or total leverage ratio levels.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
