Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 2, 2022, Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020, by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"), Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Agent"), and various other lenders from time to time, which modified certain terms of the Company's existing credit agreement, including the following amendments:



    1.   The maximum borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility
         increased from $110 million to $160 million. The outstanding principal
         balance of the term loan facility decreased from $75 million to $70
         million, and the lenders provided an additional $1.6 million advance
         under the term loan.



    2.   The interest rate provisions reflect the transition from LIBOR to SOFR as
         the new benchmark interest rate for each loan.



    3.   The collateral required to be delivered by the Company and its Subsidiary
         Guarantors no longer includes mortgages and related documents granting
         the lenders a security interest in the subject real property interests.



    4.   The term "Consolidated EBITDA" was changed to remove the required
         treatment of capitalized software development costs as expenses for
         purposes of compliance with the credit facility in order to align the
         term's definition with more conventional measures of EBITDA, including
         the Company's publicly-disclosed Adjusted EBITDA. Consequently,
         capitalized software development costs are now treated in a manner
         similar to capital expenditures for purposes of calculating the
         "Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio."



    5.   The limitation on "Qualified Cash" to be held by the Company and
         Subsidiary Guarantors which may count toward reducing the "Consolidated
         Net Leverage Ratio" covenant was increased from $10 million to $20
         million in the aggregate.



    6.   The "Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio" covenant was increased from
         3.50:1.00 to 3.75:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022
         through and including March 31, 2023. In connection with any acquisition
         by the Company exceeding $25 million, the Company may elect to increase
         the maximum permitted Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio for the fiscal
         quarter in which the acquisition occurs and each of the following three
         fiscal quarters by 0.50:1.00 above the otherwise permitted maximum.



    7.   The maturity date for both the revolving credit and term loan facilities
         changed from June 16, 2025, to May 2, 2027.



    8.   The maximum amount of all incremental facilities was increased from $50
         million to $75 million, unless the pro forma "Consolidated Net Leverage
         Ratio" is less than 2.50:1.00, in which case there is no longer a limit
         on such incremental facilities.



    9.   The principal amortization payments of the term loan facility due between
         June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2027 decreased, such that all of these
         payments are now equal.



    10.  The requirement that the Company prepay principal with excess cash flow
         generated during the prior fiscal year was eliminated.

The Company's obligations under the credit agreement continue to be secured pursuant to the Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020, by and among the parties identified as Obligors therein and Regions Bank, as collateral agent, on a first priority basis by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal assets (subject to certain exceptions) of the Company and the Subsidiary

Guarantors, including certain registered intellectual property and the capital stock of certain of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company's obligations under the credit agreement also continue to be guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors.

All other material terms of the existing credit agreement remain the same and are described in more detail in the Current Reports on Forms 8-K and 8-K/A previously filed on January 8, 2016, December 23, 2016, October 17, 2017, November 1, 2017, February 14, 2018 and June 18, 2020. The First Amendment provides for other changes to the Company's existing credit agreement that are not material to that agreement or the Company.

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