| Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On August 14, 2008, Zebra Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a revolving credit agreement for a five-year $100 million revolving credit facility (“New Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, The Northern Trust Company, as syndication agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as documentation agent. This revolving credit facility has a $100 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the facility up to a total of $200 million subject to obtaining commitments for the incremental capacity from existing or new lenders. The loans under the New Credit Agreement will be available for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and other purposes permitted by the New Credit Agreement.
The New Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the New Credit Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate or a spread over the applicable LIBOR rate, as selected by the Company. This spread for LIBOR-based loans is dependent on the Company’s ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA and ranges from 0.50% to 1.25%. The spread in effect at closing for LIBOR-based loans was .50%.
The New Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including, among others, restrictions on the payment of cash dividends) and events of default (and related remedies, including acceleration and increased interest rates following an event of default). It also contains financial covenants tied to the Company’s leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio.
A copy of the Company’s press release dated August 15, 2008, regarding the New Credit Agreement is attached to this current report as Exhibit 99.1.
