Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation amended its long-term credit agreement on February 27, 2026. The company replaced its existing $1.0 billion revolving credit commitments with new commitments and increased them by $500 million, creating a single $1.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing on February 27, 2031 for general corporate uses, including working capital.

The company also arranged a new Tranche A-2 term loan maturing on February 27, 2031, borrowing $750 million and using those proceeds to repay $750 million of existing Tranche A term loans, of which about $1.464 billion was outstanding before the change. The amendment further relaxes certain negative covenants, allowing more debt, related liens, and greater flexibility for dividends, share repurchases, and other distributions when specified financial conditions are met and no default is continuing.

Insights

Booz Allen upsizes and extends its bank facilities while easing some covenants.

Booz Allen expanded its revolving credit capacity from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion, with both the revolver and new Tranche A-2 term loan now maturing on February 27, 2031. This consolidates liquidity around a longer-dated bank debt structure.

The company raised $750 million under the new Tranche A-2 term loan and immediately used it to repay an equal amount of existing Tranche A term loans. That keeps gross borrowing from this step broadly stable while refreshing loan terms and maturity for part of the term debt.

The amendment also relaxes certain negative covenants, increasing baskets for additional indebtedness and liens and expanding capacity for dividends, equity repurchases, and other distributions, subject to financial covenant compliance and absence of default. Actual impact will depend on how actively the company taps this added flexibility in future periods.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 27, 2026 (the “Eleventh Amendment Effective Date”), Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an eleventh amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2012 (as previously amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2013, the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2014, the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 13, 2016, the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2017, the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2018, the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2018, the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2019, the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2021, the Ninth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2022 and the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2023, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto, provided for a refinancing and modification of the credit facilities, including the amendments set forth below.

 

Prior to the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement provided for $1.0 billion of revolving commitments (the “Existing Revolving Commitments”). Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the Existing Revolving Commitments were replaced in full with new revolving commitments and then increased by $500 million, resulting in aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) of $1.5 billion, treated as a single revolving tranche, and with a maturity of February 27, 2031. The Revolving Credit Facility is expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

 

Prior to the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date, approximately $1.464 billion of tranche A term loans (the “Existing Tranche A Term Loans”) were outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, certain lenders made terms loans under a new tranche of term loans (the “Tranche A-2 Term Loan”) with a maturity of February 27, 2031 (the fifth anniversary of the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date) under which the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. The proceeds of such borrowings under the Tranche A-2 Term Loan were used to repay $750 million of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding borrowing under the Existing Tranche A Term Loans.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment certain other amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement were made, including amendments to certain negative covenants in the Existing Credit Agreement to (amongst other things): (i) increase the size of certain baskets that permit the incurrence of additional indebtedness and related liens and (ii) expand the Company’s ability to make dividends, equity repurchases and other distributions, in each case subject to specified conditions (including compliance with the applicable financial covenant and the absence of a continuing default).

 

All capitalized terms used herein, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Eleventh Amendment. The foregoing description of the Eleventh Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Eleventh Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The disclosure set forth above under Item 1.01 with respect to the Eleventh Amendment is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
