Item 1.01. | | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
ABRH, LLC First Amendment to Credit Agreement
On February 24, 2017, ABRH, LLC (“ABRH”), a Delaware limited liability company, Fidelity Newport Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company, and certain subsidiaries of Holdings (the “Guarantors”), entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Agent”), as a lender and administrative agent, pursuant to which certain terms of the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of August 19, 2014 by and among ABRH, Holdings, the Agent, the Guarantors and the other lenders party thereto were amended. Holdings is a non-wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF”), and ABRH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.
Pursuant to the Amendment, effective as of February 27, 2017, the Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement was reduced from $100 million to $60 million, and the letters of credit sublimit under the Credit Agreement was reduced from $40 million to $20 million. The Amendment also removed from the Credit Agreement a provision that allowed ABRH to enter into up to $250 million of incremental loans, and modified the financial covenants relating to certain leverage ratios under the Credit Agreement to be less restrictive.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
