Credit Agreement

 

On June 19, 2014, Envestnet and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with a group of banks (the “Banks”), for which Bank of Montreal is acting as administrative agent, pursuant to which the Banks agreed to provide an unsecured revolving credit facility of $70,000 with a sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit of $5,000.  Since then the agreement has been amended several times and was last amended and restated on July 18, 2017.

 

On July 18, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with a group of banks (the “Banks”), for which Bank of Montreal acted as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2015, as amended, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent (the “Prior Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Banks agreed to provide to the Company revolving credit commitments (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in the aggregate amount of up to $350,000 which amount may be increased by $50,000. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also includes a $5,000 subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit.

 

Obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of Envestnet’s U.S. subsidiaries, including Yodlee. In accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement, dated November 19, 2015 (the “Security Agreement”), among the Company, the Debtors party thereto, the Banks and the Administrative Agent, obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and the Company’s pledge of 66% of the voting equity and 100% of the non-voting equity of certain of its first-tier foreign subsidiaries. In addition to funding a portion of the cash consideration paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Yodlee, proceeds under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be used to finance capital expenditures, working capital, permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

 

Envestnet will pay interest on borrowings made under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at rates between 1.50 percent and 3.25 percent above LIBOR based on the Company’s total leverage ratio.  Borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature on July 18, 2022. There is also a commitment fee equal to 0.25 percent per annum on the daily unused portion of the facility.

 

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The covenants include certain financial covenants requiring Envestnet to maintain compliance with a maximum senior leverage ratio, a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and minimum adjusted EBITDA, and provisions that limit the ability of Envestnet and its subsidiaries to incur debt, make investments, sell assets, create liens, engage in transactions with affiliates, engage in mergers and acquisitions, pay dividends and other restricted payments, grant negative pledges and change their business activities.

 

As of December 31, 2017, there were $0 of Term Notes and $81,168 of revolving credit amounts outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  The July 18, 2017 amendment replaced the Term Notes and related excess cash flow payment obligations, which were issued in relation to a previous amendment, with a revolving line of credit. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect these changes as of December 31, 2017 with no portion of debt related to the revolving credit facility being classified as short-term. As of December 31, 2017, the debt issuance costs related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Prior Credit Facility are presented in prepaid expenses and other non-current assets which have outstanding amounts of $855 and $3,106, respectively.

 

The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2017.

 

Convertible Notes

 

On December 15, 2014, the Company issued $172,500 of Convertible Notes.  Net proceeds from the offering were $166,967. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75 percent per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2015.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company incurred $4,651 of issuance costs in 2014, which are presented net in non-current debt on the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized and are recorded as additional interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes.

 

The Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations, subordinated in right of payment to our obligations under our Credit Agreement. The Convertible Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness.  The Convertible Notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of any of our subsidiaries, other than to the extent the Convertible Notes are guaranteed in the future by our subsidiaries as described in the indenture and will be effectively subordinated to and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Certain of our subsidiaries guarantee our obligations under our Credit Agreement.

 

Upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change”, as defined in the indenture, the holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Convertible Notes for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

 

The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock under certain circumstances prior to maturity at a conversion rate of 15.9022 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which represents a conversion price of $62.88 per share, subject to adjustment under certain conditions. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2019, only under the following circumstances: (a) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes in effect on each applicable trading day; (b) during the five consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each such trading day was less than 98% of the last reported sale price of our common stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; or (c) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as defined in the indenture.

 

Upon conversion, the Company may pay cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and stock, as determined by the Company in its discretion. The Company’s stated policy is to settle the debt component of the Convertible Notes at least partially or wholly in cash. This policy is based both on the Company’s intent and the Company’s ability to settle these instruments in cash.

 

The Company has separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes by allocating the proceeds from issuance of the Convertible Notes between the liability component and the embedded conversion option, or equity component. This allocation was done by first estimating an interest rate at the time of issuance for similar notes that do not include the embedded conversion option. The Company allocated $26,618 to the equity component, net of offering costs of $882. The Company recorded a discount on the Convertible Notes of $27,500 which will be accreted and recorded as additional interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes. During 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $5,472, $5,237 and $4,932, respectively, in accretion related to the discount. The effective interest rate of the liability component of the Convertible Notes is equal to the stated interest rate plus the accretion of original issue discount. The effective interest rate on the liability component of the Convertible Notes for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was approximately 6%.
