Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 15, 2022, Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ADT Inc. (the
"Company"), as borrower (the "Borrower"), and The ADT Security Corporation, a
Delaware corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Borrower
("ADTSC", and together with the Borrower, the "Borrowers"), entered into a debt
commitment letter (the "Commitment Letter") with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,
Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, BNP Paribas, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank,
Ltd., Citizens Bank, N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley Senior
Funding, Inc., Royal Bank of Canada, Barclays Bank PLC, ING Capital LLC and
Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch (collectively, the "Banks"), pursuant to which
the Banks have committed, at the option of the Borrowers (in their sole
discretion) and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions,
to, on or before March 15, 2023 (the "Commitment Termination Date"), provide the
Borrowers up to an aggregate principal amount of $600 million of term loans
under a senior secured term loan A facility (the "Term Loan A Facility") under a
term loan credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), the form of which is
attached as Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter. The Borrowers may, but are not
required to, execute the Credit Agreement and incur indebtedness under the Term
Loan A Facility, and at the option of the Borrowers the commitments set forth in
the Commitment Letter may be terminated at any time prior to the Commitment
Termination Date. The proceeds of any borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility
are required to be used to redeem a portion of ADTSC's 4.125% senior notes due
2023.
The Term Loan A Facility will have a maturity date of five years from the date
of the execution of the Credit Agreement and the initial funding of the Term
Loan A Facility thereunder, subject to a springing maturity of 91 days prior to
the maturity date of certain long-term indebtedness of the Borrower and its
subsidiaries if, on such date, the aggregate principal amount of such
indebtedness equals or exceeds $100 million. The Term Loan A Facility will
require scheduled amortization payments in annual amounts equal to 5.0% of the
original principal amount of the Term Loan A Facility, payable quarterly, with
the balance payable at maturity. The Borrowers may make voluntary prepayments of
borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility at any time prior to maturity at par.
Borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility, if any, will bear interest at a rate
equal to, at the Borrower's option, either (a) a term SOFR rate plus an
adjustment of 0.10% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of
(i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the rate of interest per
annum last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the "Prime Rate" in the United
States and (iii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, in each
case, plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum for SOFR loans and 1.50% per
annum for base rate loans, subject to adjustments based on certain specified net
first lien leverage ratios.
Indebtedness incurred under the Term Loan A Facility will be guaranteed, jointly
and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by Prime Security
Services Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the direct
parent of the Borrower ("Holdings"), on a limited recourse basis, and by
substantially all of the Borrower's wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries,
and will be secured by a pledge of the Borrower's capital stock directly held by
Holdings and by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the
assets of the Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to
certain permitted liens and exceptions. The Term Loan A Facility will be subject
to customary mandatory prepayment provisions, covenants and restrictions,
including a financial maintenance covenant requiring the Borrowers to comply as
of the last day of each fiscal quarter with a specified maximum consolidated net
first lien leverage ratio.
The foregoing description of the Term Loan A Facility and the Commitment Letter
does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to, the full text of the Commitment Letter, a copy of
which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, and the full text of the Credit Agreement, a
