Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 28, 2018, FTD Companies, Inc. (“FTD” or the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Interflora British Unit, a company incorporated under the Laws of England & Wales (the “UK Borrower”, and together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.
The modifications to the Credit Agreement reflected in the Amendment are part of ongoing negotiations with the Company’s lenders designed to address the covenant compliance issues identified in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 (the “June 2018 Form 10-Q”). The Company expects to continue discussions with its lenders to address additional covenant compliance issues that may arise during the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. For additional information, see Note 1—“Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Accounting Policies, and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” and Note 6—“Financing Arrangements” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of the June 2018 Form 10-Q and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” included in Part I, Item 2 of the June 2018 Form 10-Q. 
The modifications to the Credit Agreement reflected in the Amendment include:
the Borrowers’ combined usage under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement will be restricted to (1) $150 million during the period from May 31, 2018 through and including September 30, 2018; (2) $155 million during the period October 1, 2018 through and including October 31, 2018; (3) $175 million during the period November 1, 2018 through and including December 31, 2018; and (4) $150 million from January 1, 2019 through the September 19, 2019 maturity date, all subject to the Company’s obligation to make mandatory prepayments of the term loan portion of the Credit Agreement, as amended, with the net cash proceeds from certain Designated Asset Sales (as defined in the Amendment), if any such asset sales take place;
the consolidated net leverage and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants under the Credit Agreement, as amended, are set forth below, with the Amendment modifying the measurement dates such that the next measurement date for the consolidated net leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios has been changed to the twelve month period ending October 31, 2018, from the four fiscal quarter period ending September 30, 2018, and the specific required ratio levels otherwise unchanged:
