TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 20, 2011, athenahealth, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the
“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent, Swing
Line Lender, and L\C Issuer; the other lenders party thereto from time to time; and Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and TD Securities (USA) LLC as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint
Book Managers. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $100 million revolving credit
facility, and, subject to certain conditions including obtaining lender commitments, the facility
can be increased by up to an additional $100 million. The proceeds of the credit facility may be
used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including, without limitation,
acquisitions and other investments and share repurchases.
The interest rates applicable to revolving loans under the Credit Agreement are at either (i)
the British Bankers Association London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an interest margin
based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of
(a) the Bank of America prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) one month LIBOR
plus 1.00%) plus an interest margin based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company
will pay a commitment fee during the term of the Credit Agreement, which varies between 0.20% and
0.30% based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.
The revolving credit facility matures on October 20, 2016, although the Company may prepay the
credit facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, and the unutilized
portion of the commitments may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by the Company in whole or in
part without penalty or premium.
The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and all related documents are
jointly and severally guaranteed by athenahealth MA, Inc., a wholly owned Massachusetts subsidiary
of the Company; Proxsys LLC, a wholly owned Alabama subsidiary of the Company; Anodyne Health
Partners, Inc., a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of the Company; and the Company’s other domestic
subsidiaries, excluding athenahealth Security Corporation and any other subsidiary that does not
meet certain financial materiality thresholds.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and
negative covenants, including, without limitation, certain covenants and limitations regarding
liens, investments, indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, sales and asset dispositions,
the payment of dividends and distributions, share repurchases, negative pledges, and transactions
with affiliates. The Company is also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated fixed
charge coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio, measured quarterly. The Company may not
permit the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio to be less than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00.
Additionally, the Company may not permit the consolidated leverage ratio to be greater than 2.75 to
1.00, unless the Company has consolidated EBITDA greater than $150 million, in which case, the
maximum consolidated leverage ratio increases to 3.00 to 1.00.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation,
nonpayment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts; failure to perform or observe covenants
within a specified period of time; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross-default to
other indebtedness with a principal amount of $10 million or more; bankruptcy and insolvency
defaults (with a grace period for involuntary proceedings); inability to pay debts; attachment
defaults; monetary and nonmonetary judgment defaults; ERISA defaults; invalidity of loan and
collateral documents defaults; and change of control defaults. Upon the occurrence and continuance
of an event of default, the lenders may declare the loans and all the other obligations under the
Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.
The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Credit Agreement and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, which the Company intends to file
as an exhibit to its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2011.
