Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 23, 2018, Universal Health Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2010, as amended on March 15, 2011, September 21, 2012, May 16, 2013, August 7, 2014 and June 7, 2016, among the Company, as borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties thereto, as lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other agents party thereto (the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Sixth Amendment is effective on October 23, 2018.

 

The Sixth Amendment amends the Senior Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate amount of the Total Revolving Commitments by $200 million to $1 billion, (ii) increase the aggregate amount of the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments by approximately $290 million to $2 billion, and (iii) extend the Maturity Date of the Revolver and Tranche A Term Loan from August 7, 2019 to October 23, 2023.  The Company anticipates adding an additional seven-year term loan Tranche B facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million as contemplated by the Senior Credit Facility. The Company intends to use the proceeds to repay its borrowings under its existing Revolving Credit Agreement and Tranche A Term Loans, to redeem its 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 and for general corporate purposes.

The foregoing description of the Sixth Amendment is a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sixth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) under the Senior Credit Facility are secured.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
