Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On May 4, 2018, Syneos Health, Inc. (the
Company) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the Repricing Amendment) to the Credit Agreement, dated August 1, 2017 (the Credit Agreement), among the Company, the lenders party thereto, Credit Suisse AG,
Cayman Islands Branch (Credit Suisse), as Administrative Agent, and each of the other parties thereto.
The Repricing Amendment, among other
things, modifies the terms of the Credit Agreement to:
|
(a)
|
reduce by 0.25% overall the applicable margins for alternate base rate (ABR) loans and Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate loans with respect to both Term A Loans and Term B Loans, resulting in (i) for Term A
Loans, a margin spread of (A) 0.25% to 0.50% for ABR loans and (B) 1.25% to 1.50% for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate loans (with the specific applicable margins determined by reference to the First Lien Leverage Ratio), and (ii) for Term B Loans, a
margin spread of (A) 0.75% to 1.00% for ABR loans and (B) 1.75% to 2.00 for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate loans (with the specific applicable margins determined by reference to the Secured Leverage Ratio as modified so that the higher rate applies when
the Secured Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00); and
|
|
(b)
|
to reset the period in which a prepayment premium with respect to Term B Loan is required for a Repricing Transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to six months after the closing date of the
Repricing Amendment.
|
In connection with the execution of the Repricing Amendment, the Company paid certain fees and expenses to Credit
Suisse and ING Capital LLC, as lead arrangers.
The foregoing description of the Repricing Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of the Repricing Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K
and incorporated herein by reference.
