Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 7, 2019, Franklin Covey Co. (the Company) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Lender), which replaced the amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of March 2011 (the Original Credit Agreement), between the Company and the Lender.  The Lender also provides the majority of the Company’s day-to-day banking services.

The Credit Agreement provides up to $25.0 million in term loans and a $15.0 million revolving line of credit.  Upon entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company will borrow a $20.0 million term loan and use the proceeds to repay all indebtedness under the Original Credit Agreement.  Surplus proceeds from the term note will be classified as cash on the Company’s balance sheet.  Within one year of the date of the Credit Agreement, the Company may request an additional $5.0 million term loan.  Principal payments on the term loans of $1.25 million will be due and payable on the first day of each January, April, July, and October ($5.0 million per year) until the term loan obligation is repaid.  Interest on all borrowings under the Credit Agreement is due and payable on the first day of each month and will be equal to LIBOR plus 1.85 percent, which pricing matches that of the Original Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants.

The Credit Agreement preserves the financial covenants in the Original Credit Agreement, which are (i) a Funded Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDAR Ratio of less than 3.00 to 1.00; (ii) a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio not less than 1.15 to 1.00; (iii) an annual limit on capital expenditures (excluding capitalized curriculum development costs) of $8.0 million; and (iv) consolidated accounts receivable of not less than 150% of the aggregate amount of the outstanding borrowings on the revolving line of credit, the undrawn amount of outstanding letters of credit, and the amount of unreimbursed letter of credit disbursements.  In the event of noncompliance with these financial covenants and other defined events of default, the Lender is entitled to certain remedies, including acceleration of the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new Pledge and Security Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Credit Agreement and the Pledge and Security Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 attached hereto.
