8. Long-Term Debt

On September 23, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment No. 3”) to the existing Credit Agreement dated as of January 18, 2013 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Lender”), as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of December 12, 2014 (the “Amendment No. 1”) and Amendment No. 2 dated as of June 3, 2015 (the “Amendment No. 2”) (the existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment No. 1, the Amendment No. 2, and the Amendment No. 3, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment No. 3 provides for, among other things: (i) a new senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million (the “Term Facility”); (ii) a reduction in the revolving credit facility (the “Revolver” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”) from an aggregate principal amount of $150 million to $100 million; (iii) an extension to the maturity date of the Revolver; (iv) consent to enter into the acquisition of Hay Group; (v) certain changes to affirmative and negative covenants, including an increase to the minimum adjusted EBITDA that the Company must maintain from $70 million to $100 million, (vi) an increase in the amount of permitted acquisitions, paying dividends to stockholders and making share repurchases in any fiscal year from $125.0 million to $135.0 million (excluding the recently announced acquisition of Hay Group); and (vii) an increase in the amount of dividends paid to stockholders and share repurchases in any fiscal year from $75.0 million to $85.0 million (excluding the recently announced acquisition of Hay Group).

At the Company’s option, loans issued under the Credit Facilities will bear interest at either adjusted LIBOR or an alternate base rate, in each case plus the applicable interest rate margin. The interest rate applicable to loans outstanding under the Credit Facilities may fluctuate between adjusted LIBOR plus 1.125% per annum to adjusted LIBOR plus 1.875% per annum, in the case of LIBOR borrowings (or between the alternate base rate plus 0.125% per annum and the alternate base rate plus 0.875% per annum, in the alternative), based upon the Company’s total funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio (as set forth in the Credit Agreement, the “consolidated leverage ratio”) at such time. In addition, the Company will be required to pay to the Lender a quarterly fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.40% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Credit Facilities, based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio at such time, and fees relating to the issuance of letters of credit.

Both the Revolver and the Term Facility mature on September 23, 2020, and may be prepaid and terminated early by the Company at any time without premium or penalty (subject to customary LIBOR breakage fees).

As of October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, the Company had no borrowings under its long-term debt arrangements. At October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, there was $2.9 million and $2.8 million of standby letters of credit issued under its long-term debt arrangements, respectively. The Company had a total of $1.4 million and $1.6 million of standby letters of credits with other financial institutions as of October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, respectively.
