Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 16, 2012, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (the "Company") entered
into a second amended and restated credit agreement to amend and restate its
credit agreement dated as of September 12, 2006, as amended, with Bank of
America, N.A. as administrative agent and swing line lender (the "Administrative
Agent"), and the other financial institutions party thereto (the "Restated
Credit Agreement"). The Restated Credit Agreement reduced the total size of the
unsecured revolving credit facility from $925 million to $800 million, with an
option to increase the size of the credit facility to $900 million subject to
certain requirements, including the absence of any event of default or default
under the Restated Credit Agreement and the Company obtaining the consent of the
lenders participating in the increase. The maturity date of the Restated Credit
Agreement is April 16, 2016.
Revolving loans under the credit facility generally bear interest at a variable
rate based on either (i) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) one-half of
one percent in excess of the federal funds rate, (b) the Administrative Agent's
"prime rate", or (c) the sum of one percent plus one-month LIBOR) plus a margin
of between 32.5 and 60.0 basis points depending on the senior unsecured
long-term debt ratings of the Company or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of between
132.5 and 160.0 basis points depending on the senior unsecured long-term debt
ratings of the Company. At the current Moody's and Standard & Poor's senior
unsecured long-term debt ratings of Baa3/BBB-, the applicable margin for
revolving loans subject to LIBOR is 145.0 basis points. In addition, the Company
will pay a commitment fee of between 17.5 and 40.0 basis points on the entire
facility, also depending on the Company's senior unsecured long-term debt
ratings.
Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to customary
affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including, among other things,
limits on the creation of liens, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness,
restrictions on investments, dispositions and transactions with affiliates,
limitations on dividends and other restricted payments, a minimum net worth and
a maximum debt to capitalization ratio. The Restated Credit Agreement also
includes customary events of default for facilities of this type (with customary
grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, if an event of default occurs
and is continuing, the interest rate on all outstanding obligations may be
increased, payments of all outstanding loans may be accelerated and/or the
lenders' commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of
certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable
under the Restated Credit Agreement shall automatically become immediately due
and payable, and the lenders' commitments will automatically terminate.
The foregoing description of the Restated Credit Agreement is not complete, and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated
Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K which
is incorporated herein by reference.
