Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Senior Secured Credit Facilities Credit Agreement and Guarantee and Collateral Agreement

 

On July 31, 2020, Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into (i) a Senior Secured Credit Facilities Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement, as lenders (collectively, referred to as the “Lender”), and Silicon Valley Bank, in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and Lender (in such capacity, the “Agent”) and (ii) a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Collateral Agreement”) made by the Company in favor of the Agent.

 

Amount. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40.0 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of $7.0 million (as a sublimit of the revolving loan facility) (the “Letters of Credit”), and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of $10.0 million (as a sublimit of the revolving loan facility). The Company has no immediate plans to borrow under the Credit Agreement, but will use the facility for Letters of Credit, for ongoing working capital and to fund general corporate purposes, as desired.

 

Maturity. The revolving credit facility terminates on August 3, 2023 (the “Termination Date”), with any Letters of Credit maturing 15 days prior to the Termination Date.

 

Interest Rate. Interest is payable in arrears on each interest payment date, based on LIBOR or base rate, in the Company’s discretion. Interest accrues at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% or base rate plus 1.25%, as applicable, subject to customary interest rate floors.

 

Security. The Company’s obligations are secured by a security interest, senior to any current and future debts and to any security interest, in all of the Company’s right, title, and interest in, to and under substantially all of the Company’s assets, subject to limited exceptions, including permitted liens.

 

Covenants; Representations and Warranties; Other Provisions. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by the Company limiting additional indebtedness, guaranties, liens, fundamental changes, mergers and consolidations, dispositions of assets, investments and loans, certain corporate changes, and transactions with affiliates.

 

Default Provisions. The Credit Agreement provides for events of default customary for term loans of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, breaches or defaults in the performance of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy and the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Agreement, after the occurrence of an event of default, Agent may, among other things, (i) accelerate payment of all obligations and terminate the Lender’s commitments under the Credit Agreement, or (iii) notify any of Company’s account obligors to make payment directly to Agent. During the existence of an event of default, all outstanding Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.00%.
