Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 24, 2026, Dynatrace LLC (the “Borrower”) and Dynatrace Intermediate LLC (“Holdings”), each a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynatrace, Inc. (the “Company”), and certain of their respective U.S. subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders from time to time party thereto, for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in which the lenders agreed to extend revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of up to $500,000,000.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are available in U.S. dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, and Canadian Dollars (subject to an aggregate $100,000,000 cap on non-U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings) and will accrue interest at (i) the Term SOFR Rate, (ii) the EURIBO Rate, (iii) the Adjusted Term CORRA Rate, (iv) Daily Simple SONIA, or (v) the base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The base rate is the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus ½ of 1.00%, (ii) Bank of America, N.A.’s prime rate in effect for such day, (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00% and (iv) 1.00%. The applicable margin for borrowings is a percentage per annum based on a pricing level determined by the Borrower’s then-current ratio of (i) total funded debt of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries minus unrestricted domestic cash and cash equivalents up to the greater of $650,000,000 and 100% of Adjusted EBITDA for the most recently ended four consecutive fiscal quarters to (ii) Adjusted EBITDA of Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries as of such date (the “Total Leverage Ratio”) (or, at the Borrower's election, based on S&P and Moody’s debt ratings on the Borrower or the Company (the “Credit Rating Margin Election”)), with ranges of (a) 0.00% for base rate loans or 1.00% for all other benchmark rates if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0 (or, following the Credit Rating Margin Election, a debt rating of greater than or equal to BBB / Baa2), (b) 0.25% for base rate loans or 1.25% for all other benchmark rates if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 2.0 to 1.0 but greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 (or, following the Credit Rating Margin Election, a debt rating of BBB- / Baa3), (c) 0.375% for base rate loans or 1.375% for all other benchmark rates if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0 but greater than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0 (or, following the Credit Rating Margin Election, a debt rating of BB+ / Ba1), or (d) 0.625% for base rate loans or 1.625% for all other benchmark rates if the Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0 (or, following the Credit Rating Margin Election, a debt rating of less than or equal to BB / Ba2). The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. The Credit Facility will mature on June 24, 2031, subject to (x) an earlier springing maturity date if the Borrower’s 2031 exchangeable notes remain outstanding in an aggregate principal amount greater than $300,000,000 on the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity of such 2031 exchangeable notes, and (y) up to two one-year extensions with the consent of all applicable lenders.
The Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant requiring the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026), with a temporary increase in such Total Leverage Ratio to 4.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters following the consummation of certain permitted acquisitions for which the total consideration exceeds $150,000,000.
The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
