Item 2.03  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

On April 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $250 million under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated June 28, 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, and SunTrust Bank and co-syndication agents, and U.S. Bank National Association, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., Fifth Third Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and PNC Bank, National Association as co-documentation agents (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The proceeds are expected to be used in conjunction with the payment of the purchase price for the previously announced acquisition of LP Insurance Services LLC and for additional liquidity to further strengthen the Company’s financial position and balance sheet in the event cash receipts from customers or carrier partners are delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of the date of filing this Current Report on Form 8-K, there is $450.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Some of the agents and lenders under the Credit Agreement or their affiliates have various other relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, loans, letter of credit and bank guarantee facilities, investment banking and trust services.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2017.
