Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 13, 2019, RigNet, Inc. (the “Company”), as borrower, and subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as guarantors, entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 6, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with the financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders.

Pursuant to the First Amendment, (i) the Company will refinance $30.0 million of its outstanding draws under its existing $85.0 million revolving credit facility (“RCF”) with a new $30.0 million term out loan facility (the “Term Out Loan”), which will bear the same interest rate as the Company’s existing $15.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and the RCF as amended by the First Amendment, with interest payable monthly and principal installments of $1.5 million under the Term Out Loan due quarterly beginning June 30, 2019, and the balance of the Term Out Loan due April 6, 2021, (ii) the Term Loan, Term Out Loan and RCF will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.00%, based on a consolidated leverage ratio defined in the Credit Agreement, (iii) the maturity date of the RCF will be extended to April 6, 2021, (iv) a $45.0 million reserve (the “Specified Reserve”) will be established against available amounts under the RCF, which Specified Reserve will be released and available for borrowing if the proceeds of the requested borrowing are being used to pay monetary obligations awarded under the previously disclosed arbitration proceedings involving a dispute with Inmarsat Global Limited pending at the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (the “Inmarsat Dispute”), and (v) the Company’s required consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will be amended to provide that the Company must continue to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.0, provided that, automatically upon the Company’s notice to the administrative agent (the “Inmarsat Dispute Payment Notice”) that the Company has made an irrevocable payment in full of all monetary obligations under the Inmarsat Dispute and verification by the administrative agent that such payment was made , the maximum consolidated leverage ratio (A) automatically will increase to 3.25 to 1.00 for four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter in which the Company makes the payment disclosed in the Inmarsat Dispute Payment Notice, (B) immediately following such four fiscal quarters, automatically will decrease to 3.00 to 1.00 for a period of three fiscal quarters, and (C) automatically will decrease to 2.75 to 1.00 for all fiscal quarters thereafter.

As of February 13, 2019, and after giving effect to the First Amendment, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan was $10.0 million, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Out Loan was $30.0 million, and the outstanding draws on the RCF were $37,150,000 with available amounts under the RCF subject to the Specified Reserve.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
