$700 million EPAM (NYSE: EPAM) revolving credit deal replaces 2021 line

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

EPAM Systems, Inc. has entered into a new amended and restated credit agreement providing a five-year $700 million revolving credit facility. The agreement, led by PNC Bank as administrative agent, can be increased to up to $1.2 billion if lenders agree and conditions are met, giving EPAM flexible borrowing capacity. Borrowings can be made in U.S. dollars and, up to $250 million, in several major foreign currencies, with interest based on SOFR plus a margin tied to EPAM’s leverage ratio.

The facility includes customary covenants and events of default, including leverage limits generally capping the company’s leverage ratio at 3.50 to 1.00, which may rise to 4.00 to 1.00 in certain cases. It also restricts additional debt, guarantees, asset sales, investments, and M&A activity above set thresholds. This 2025 Revolving Facility and Credit Agreement replace EPAM’s prior 2021 credit facility.

Insights

Credit & capital structure analyst

EPAM renews and upsizes flexible bank credit on covenant terms.

EPAM Systems has secured a five-year $700 million revolving credit facility, with an option to increase total commitments to $1.2 billion if lenders consent. This replaces the 2021 facility, indicating lenders are comfortable extending credit on updated terms and giving EPAM a committed liquidity backstop for working capital, potential acquisitions, or other corporate purposes.

The facility is unsecured and interest is tied to SOFR plus a margin based on EPAM’s leverage ratio, aligning pricing with balance sheet risk. Covenants restrict additional indebtedness, guarantees, asset sales, investments, and M&A, while allowing acquisitions so long as the leverage ratio generally remains at or below 3.50% to 1.00, with a possible step-up to 4.00% to 1.00 in specified cases. Standard events of default, including change of control and insolvency, allow lenders to accelerate debt and halt further borrowing if triggered.

Overall, this looks like a routine refinancing on typical investment-grade style terms rather than a sign of stress. The real impact will depend on how much of the revolver EPAM ultimately draws and whether future acquisitions or investments push leverage toward the agreed limits.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 3, 2025, EPAM Systems, Inc. (“EPAM”) entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “2025 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders providing a revolving credit facility (the “2025 Revolving Facility”). PNC Bank, National Association serves as administrative agent, swingline loan lender and issuing lender.

The 2025 Revolving Facility provides for a five-year $700 million revolving credit facility, with potential to increase further the credit facility to up to $1.2 billion if lenders agree to increase their commitments and EPAM satisfies certain conditions. The 2025 Revolving Facility allows for unsecured borrowings by EPAM that bear interest at either a SOFR rate (or an alternate benchmark index for borrowings in currencies other than U.S. dollars), plus a margin based on EPAM’s leverage ratio. Borrowings under the 2025 Revolving Facility may be denominated in United States Dollars or, up to a maximum of $250 million, in British Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euros or Swiss Francs (or other currencies as may be approved by the lenders).

The 2025 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, representations, warranties, guaranties, and events of default. Among the events of default are the following (subject, in some cases, to a grace period): failure to make payments of principal or interest due under the 2025 Revolving Facility; breaches of warranties or covenants, final judgments in excess of certain threshold amounts; insolvency; and a change of control of EPAM. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may declare all loans due and payable and cease making further loans.

The 2025 Credit Agreement includes several business and financial covenants. It restricts the incurrence of additional indebtedness by EPAM and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions including, among other things, specified indebtedness existing upon entry into the 2025 Credit Agreement and certain refinancing of that indebtedness, ordinary course letters of credit, certain intercompany indebtedness, secured indebtedness subject to certain maximum thresholds, and unsecured indebtedness. The 2025 Credit Agreement contains restrictions, generally subject to maximum thresholds on guarantees, disposition of assets, investments in other entities, and mergers with and acquisitions of other entities. In general, and subject to certain limitations, acquisitions of other businesses are permitted provided that the EPAM and its subsidiaries leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (which may be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 under certain circumstances), and they are otherwise in compliance with the covenants contained in the 2025 Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the 2025 Credit Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of the parties’ rights and obligations under the 2025 Credit Agreement and the other documents and transactions contemplated by the 2025 Credit Agreement. As such, the foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2025 Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
