Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on June 4, 2023, Cyxtera Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re: Cyxtera Technologies, Inc., et al., Cases No. 23-14852 through 23-14853.

Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, Cyxtera DC Holdings, Inc., as the borrower (the “DIP Borrower”), and Cyxtera DC Parent Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) entered into a Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2023 (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, the “DIP Facility”), with the other lenders party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”). The DIP Facility provides for an up to $200 million senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession term loan credit facility to the DIP Borrower as postpetition financing comprising of (i) new money term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150 million, (ii) term loans resulting from the exchange of the existing term loans under that certain First Lien Priority Credit Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2023, among the DIP Borrower, Holdings, the lenders party thereto and the Agent (the “Prepetition Priority Credit Agreement”) in an aggregate principal amount of $36 million for term loans under the DIP Facility and (iii) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $14 million (the “Transferred Loans”), consisting of escrowed proceeds funded pursuant to the Prepetition Priority Credit Agreement, deemed transferred for an equal amount of term loans under the DIP Facility. Each of the other Debtors will unconditionally guarantee (the Debtors, other than the DIP Borrower, the “DIP Guarantors”), on a joint and several basis, the DIP Borrower’s obligations under the DIP Facility.

On the effective date of the DIP Facility (the “Effective Date”), the DIP Borrower will be authorized to borrow, and the DIP Guarantors will be authorized to guarantee, borrowings up to an aggregate principal amount of $200 million, with $54 million available to be drawn on an interim basis (including the $14 million of Transferred Loans), subject to and in accordance with the Interim Order (as defined in the DIP Facility), without any further action by the Debtors or any other party. Upon the date the Bankruptcy Court enters a Final Order (as defined in the DIP Facility) in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, the full remaining amount of the DIP Facility will be available to the Borrower, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent pursuant to the DIP Facility.

The proceeds of the borrowings under the DIP Facility will be used for purposes permitted by orders of the Bankruptcy Court, including (i) for working capital and other general corporate purposes, (ii) to pay transaction costs, professional fees and other obligations and expenses incurred in connection with the DIP Facility, the Chapter 11 Cases and the transactions contemplated thereunder and (iii) to pay adequate protection expenses, if any, to the extent set forth in any order entered by the Bankruptcy Court.

The maturity date of the DIP Facility is earliest of (i) the date that is 6 months after the Effective Date, as such date may be extended pursuant to terms in the DIP Facility, (ii) the date on which all loans granted under the DIP Facility are accelerated and all unfunded commitments (if any) have been terminated in accordance with the DIP Facility, by operation of law or otherwise, (iii) the date the Bankruptcy Court orders a conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to a chapter 7 liquidation or the dismissal of the chapter 11 case of any Debtor, (iv) the closing of any sale of assets pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, which when taken together with all other sales of assets since the Effective Date, constitutes a sale of substantially all of the assets of the loan parties under the DIP Facility, (v) the date of the substantial consummation (as defined in Section 1101 of the Bankruptcy Code) of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization that is no later than the effective date of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization that is confirmed pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court and (vi) proceedings under or pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), as amended, have been commenced in respect of the DIP Facility guarantors organized under the laws of Canada (or any province thereof) unless otherwise consented to in writing by the majority DIP lenders (which consent may be communicated via an e-mail from certain specified advisors to the DIP Lenders).

Loans under the DIP Facility will accrue interest at a rate of SOFR plus 8.50%, with a SOFR floor of 1.00% and any applicable Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the DIP Facility). Loans under the DIP Facility will be subject to an additional 2.00% of interest per annum during the period in which any principal of or interest on any loan or any fee or other amount payable by the DIP Borrower under the DIP Facility is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise.

The DIP Facility includes usual and customary negative covenants for debtor-in-possession credit agreements of this type, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, certain fundamental changes, investments, loans and advances, guarantees and acquisitions, asset sales, restricted payments, affiliate transactions, certain modifications to the loan parties’ organization documents and certain other agreements, permitting liquidity to fall below a certain specified threshold, incurring or permitting additional superpriority administrative claims which are pari passu or senior to the claims under the DIP Facility and seeking or consenting to certain bankruptcy actions without the consent of the majority lenders under the DIP Facility, in each case subject to customary exceptions for debtor-in-possession credit agreements of this type.

The DIP Facility also includes certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including, but not limited to, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, certain events under ERISA, unstayed judgments in favor of a third party involving an aggregate liability in excess of a certain threshold, change of control, invalidity or failure to perfect the liens on a material portion of the collateral and the termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement (other than due solely to a breach of the Restructuring Support Agreement by the majority lenders under the DIP Facility). Certain bankruptcy-related events are also events of default, including, but not limited to, the dismissal by the Bankruptcy Court of any of the Chapter 11 Cases which does not contain a provision for the discharge of the DIP Facility, the conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the appointment of a trustee pursuant to chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and certain other events related to the impairment of the DIP Lenders’ rights or liens granted under the DIP Facility.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the DIP Facility, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
