TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 26, 2006, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (the Company), ACS Commercial
Solutions, Inc., ACS Education Services, Inc., ACS Enterprise Solutions, Inc., ACS HR Solutions,
LLC, ACS Outsourcing Solutions, Inc., ACS State & Local Solutions, Inc., ACS State Healthcare, LLC,
ACS TradeOne Marketing, Inc., Buck Consultants, LLC, and ACS Worldwide Lending Limited executed
Amendment No. 3, Consent and Waiver, dated as of September 21, 2006, to and under the Credit
Agreement (Amendment No. 3) with Citicorp USA, Inc., as Administrative Agent (the Agent), in
order to amend and provide certain consents and waivers under the Credit Agreement, dated as of
March 20, 2006 (as amended, the Credit Agreement). Amendment No. 3 includes the following
provisions, among others:
(1) |
|
Consent to the delivery, on or prior to December 31, 2006, of (i) the financial statements,
accountants report and compliance certificate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and
(ii) financial statements and related compliance certificates for the fiscal quarters ended
June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006, and waiver of any default arising from the failure to
deliver any such financial statements, reports or certificates within the applicable time
period provided for in the Credit Agreement, provided that any such failure to deliver
resulted directly or indirectly from the previously announced investigation of the Companys
historical stock option practices (the Options Matter). |
(2) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default arising from the incorrectness of representations
and warranties made or deemed to have been made with respect to certain financial statements
previously delivered to the Agent as a result of any restatement, adjustment or other
modification of such financial statements resulting directly or indirectly from the Options
Matter. |
(3) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default which may arise from the Companys or its
subsidiaries failure to comply with reporting covenants under other indebtedness that are
similar to those in the Credit Agreement (including any covenant to file any report with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or to furnish such reports to the holders of such
indebtedness), provided such reporting covenants are complied with on or prior to December 31,
2006. |
(4) |
|
Amendments to provisions relating to the permitted uses of the proceeds of revolving loans
under the Credit Agreement that, until December 31, 2006, (i) increase to $500 million from
$350 million the aggregate principal amount of revolving loans that may be outstanding, the
proceeds of which may be used to satisfy the obligations under the Companys 4.70% Senior
Notes due 2010 or 5.20% Notes due 2015 and (ii) decrease to $200 million from $300 million the
minimum liquidity (i.e., the aggregate amount of the Companys unrestricted cash in
excess of $50 million and availability under the Credit Agreements revolving facility)
required after giving effect to such use of proceeds. |
As consideration for Amendment No. 3, the Company has paid to the Agent, for the benefit of each
lender that consented to Amendment No. 3, a fee equal to 0.1% of the sum of such lenders revolving
credit commitment and the principal amount of such lenders term loans outstanding.
The above description of Amendment No. 3 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment No. 3, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit
10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.01 Notice of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard.
The Company has notified the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the NYSE) that the Company failed to
file its Form 10-K in a timely manner, and, as a result, the Company is subject to the procedures
specified in the NYSEs Listed Company Manual. As a result, among other things, the NYSE will
monitor the Company and the filing status of the Form 10-K. If the Company has not filed its Form
10-K within six months of its filing due date, the NYSE will determine whether the Company should
be given up to an additional six months to file its Form 10-K or may instead commence suspension
and delisting procedures. The Company expects to receive a letter from the NYSE regarding these
procedures.
Item 5.04. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrants Employee Benefit Plans.
In light of the fact that the Company is not in a position to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 by September 28, 2006, the Company has temporarily
suspended future purchases of its common stock pursuant to the ACS Savings Plan. The suspension
will begin at 6:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time) on September 28, 2006 and it is anticipated that the
suspension will end when the Company files its Form 10-K (the Blackout period). As a result,
pursuant to Regulation BTR, on September 28, 2006, the Company sent notices to its directors and
executive officers notifying them that, until the end of the Blackout period, they are prohibited
from purchasing, selling, or otherwise acquiring or transferring, directly or indirectly, any
shares of the Companys common stock or any other equity security of the Company to the extent that
stock or equity security was acquired in connection with employment as an executive officer or
services as a director.
This notice regarding the Blackout period was provided to the Companys executive officers and
directors to ensure compliance with Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104
of Regulation BTR. The notice sent to the directors and executive officers regarding the Blackout
period is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Advance notice of the Blackout period to the Companys directors and executive officers was not
possible due to events that were unforeseeable and circumstances that were beyond the reasonable
control of the Company. The Company will notify its executive officers and directors once the
ending date of the Blackout period has been determined. Inquiries regarding the Blackout period
should be directed to William L. Deckelman, Jr., Executive Vice President, 2828 North Haskell
Avenue, Dallas, Texas or by telephone at (214) 841-6111.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 28, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing an update with respect to the
internal investigation into its historical stock option practices during the period 1994 to date
and
related disclosure in its Form 10-Q, filed May 15, 2006 in response to a pending informal
investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and a grand jury subpoena
issued by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. In that press release
the Company also announced, among other things, that it is not in a position to file its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 by September 28, 2006, which was the
additional time period permitted under the SEC rules for an issuer to be deemed to have filed in a
timely manner. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated
herein by reference.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the information
disclosed pursuant to this Item 7.01, including the press release attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this
Form 8-K, is deemed to be furnished and shall not be deemed to be filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
