On December 7, 2017, we entered into a senior secured term credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “2017 Term Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and Kirkpatrick Bank made certain term loans to us (the “2017 Term Loans”). Our obligations under the 2017 Term Loans were secured by a mortgage and first priority security interest in our corporate headquarters property. The 2017 Term Loans were due to mature on September 7, 2025 and bore interest, at our option, at either (a) a prime rate plus 1.0% or (b) an adjusted LIBOR rate for the interest period in effect for such 2017 Term Loan plus 1.5%.

As discussed below, the 2017 Term Loans were repaid in full on May 4, 2022 and the 2017 Term Credit Agreement was terminated. At the time of payoff, unamortized debt issuance costs totaling $0.1 million were written off. On May 4, 2022 (the “May 2022 Facility Closing Date”), Paycom Payroll, LLC (the “Borrower”), Software, and certain other subsidiaries of Software (collectively, the “Guarantors,” and collectively with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “May 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as a lender, swingline lender and letters of credit issuer, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent.

The May 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “May 2022 Facility”) in the initial aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million, and the ability to request an incremental facility of up to an additional $100.0 million, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and certain approvals and satisfying certain other conditions. The May 2022 Facility included a $25.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $2.5 million sublimit for letters of credit. On June 7, 2022, the aggregate commitments under the May 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement were increased from $250.0 million to $350.0 million. Our obligations under the May 2022 Facility were secured by a senior security interest in all personal property of the Loan Parties. The May 2022 Facility was scheduled to mature on May 4, 2027.

On the May 2022 Facility Closing Date, we borrowed $29.0 million under the May 2022 Facility to repay the 2017 Term Loans, along with accrued interest, expenses and fees. The loan on the May 2022 Facility Closing Date bore interest at the BSBY rate plus 1.125%. In connection with the repayment of the 2017 Term Loans, the 2017 Term Credit Agreement was terminated on May 4, 2022.

As discussed below, the May 2022 Facility was repaid in full on July 29, 2022 and the May 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated.

On July 29, 2022 (the “July 2022 Facility Closing Date”), the Borrower, Software, and certain other subsidiaries of Software entered into a new credit agreement (the “July 2022 Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a lender, swingline lender and issuing bank, the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the “July 2022 Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent.

The July 2022 Credit Agreement initially provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “July 2022 Revolving Credit Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $650.0 million, and the ability to request an incremental facility of up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and certain approvals and satisfying certain other conditions. The July 2022 Credit Agreement includes a $25.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $6.5 million sublimit for letters of credit. The July 2022 Credit Agreement also initially provided for a senior secured delayed draw term loan (the “July 2022 Term Loan Facility”) in the aggregate amount of up to $750.0 million. As discussed below, the July 2022 Term Loan Facility was terminated on July 28, 2023. All loans under the July 2022 Credit Agreement will mature on July 29, 2027 (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”). Unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.0 million as of December 31, 2023, are included in “Other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets.

The borrowings under the July 2022 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin (“ABR Loans”) or (ii) (x) the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 0.10% (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”) or (y) the daily SOFR plus 0.10%, in each case plus an applicable margin (“SOFR Rate Loans”). ABR is calculated as the highest of (i) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal in the United States as the prime rate in effect, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%; provided that, if the ABR as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00%. The applicable margin for ABR Loans is (i) 0.25% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0; (ii) 0.50% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 but less than 2.0 to 1.0; (iii) 0.75% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0 but less than 3.0 to 1.0; or (iv) 1.00% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0. The applicable margin for SOFR Rate Loans is (i) 1.25% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0; (ii) 1.5% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 but less than 2.0 to 1.0; (iii) 1.75% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0 but less than 3.0 to 1.0; or (iv) 2.00% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the daily amount of the undrawn portion of the revolving commitments under the July 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and, prior to its termination, a quarterly ticking fee on the daily amount of the undrawn portion of the July 2022 Term Loan Facility, in each case at a rate per annum of (i) 0.20% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0; (ii) 0.225% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 but less than 2.0 to 1.0; (iii) 0.25% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0 but less than 3.0 to 1.0; or (iv) 0.275% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees upon drawing any letter of credit.

The July 2022 Revolving Credit Facility provides for no scheduled principal amortization prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the July 2022 Credit Agreement, we may borrow, prepay and reborrow under the July 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and terminate or reduce the July 2022 Lenders’ commitments at any time prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date.

The proceeds of the loans and letters of credit under the July 2022 Credit Agreement are to be used for ongoing working capital and general corporate purposes, permitted acquisitions, share repurchases and refinancing the May 2022 Facility. On the July 2022 Facility Closing Date, we borrowed $29.0 million under the July 2022 Revolving Credit Facility to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the May 2022 Facility, along with accrued interest, expenses and fees. The loan bore interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the interest period in effect plus 1.25%. In connection with the repayment of the May 2022 Facility, the May 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated on July 29, 2022.

Under the July 2022 Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 and a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, stepping down to 3.25 to 1.0 as of December 31, 2024 and 3.0 to 1.0 as of December 31, 2025, and thereafter. Additionally, the July 2022 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants limiting our ability to, among other things, grant liens, incur debt, effect certain mergers, make investments, dispose of assets, enter into certain transactions, including swap agreements and sale and leaseback transactions, pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock, and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to customary exceptions. As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants. Our obligations under the July 2022 Credit Agreement are secured by a senior security interest in all personal property of the Loan Parties.

The events of default under the July 2022 Credit Agreement include, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, defaults under the related loan documents, material misrepresentations, cross defaults with certain other material indebtedness,

bankruptcy and insolvency events, judgment defaults, certain events related to plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, invalidity of the July 2022 Credit Agreement or the related loan documents and change in control events. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of our obligations under the July 2022 Credit Agreement, the requirement to post cash collateral with respect to letters of credit, the termination of the July 2022 Lenders’ commitments and a 2.0% increase in the rate of interest.

On July 28, 2023, the Borrower, Software, and certain other subsidiaries of Software entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) with the July 2022 Lenders, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the aggregate revolving commitments under the July 2022 Revolving Credit Facility were increased from $650.0 million to $1.0 billion, (ii) the July 2022 Term Loan Facility was terminated and (iii) the July 2022 Credit Agreement was amended in contemplation of the formation and future operating activities of the Paycom Client Trust (the “Client Trust”) and Paycom National Trust Bank, NA (the “Trust Bank”). The Company intends to form the Client Trust to hold client payroll and related funds and the Trust Bank to serve as trustee of the Client Trust. We did not make any draws under the July 2022 Term Loan Facility prior to its termination on July 28, 2023. At the time of termination, unamortized debt issuance costs totaling $1.2 million were written off and recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt, which is included in Other income, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

On November 21, 2023, we fully repaid the outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying value of our total long-term debt approximated its fair value as of such date. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and maturities.
