On May 3, 2016, Integrated Electrical Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IES” or the “Company”), entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, each of the other borrowers and guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company’s maximum revolver amount increased from $60 million to $70 million, and the maturity date of the revolving credit facility was extended from August 9, 2018 to August 9, 2019. The Amendment also reduced the interest rate charged under the facility. Prior to the Amendment, the interest rate on the facility was equal to a Daily Three Month LIBOR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus an interest rate margin of between 2.00 and 3.00 percent. The Amendment reduced this interest rate margin to a range from 1.75 to 2.25 percent (as described below). The Amendment also modified the calculation of amounts available under the credit facility, by increasing our advance rates and expanding the definition of assets to be included in our borrowing base. We expect this to result in a significant increase in available borrowing capacity under the credit facility. In addition, the Company must maintain a minimum liquidity of $8.75 million, at least one half of which must be Excess Availability (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Amended Credit Agreement continues to contain customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including the requirement that the Company maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.0:1.0 at any time that Liquidity (defined as the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand plus Excess Availability) falls below $14 million, with at least $7 million of Excess Availability.
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, Advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Daily Three Month LIBOR, plus an interest rate margin, as determined quarterly, based on the following thresholds. In addition, a 3.25 percent interest rate margin applies to an overadvance amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
| Level |
Threshold |
Interest Rate Margin | ||
| I | If Liquidity is less than $24.5 million | 2.25 percentage points | ||
| II | If Liquidity is greater than or equal to $24.5 million and less than $35 million | 2.00 percentage points | ||
| III | If Liquidity is greater than or equal to $35 million | 1.75 percentage points |
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES ANNOUNCES AMENDMENT TO THE CREDIT FACILITY AND APPOINTMENT OF ROBERT LEWEY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
HOUSTON — May 3, 2016 — Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (or “IES”) (NASDAQ: IESC) today announced that the Company has entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC), with improved terms. Additionally, IES today announced that it has expanded its Board of Directors with the appointment of Robert Lewey, who has served as President of the Company since May 12, 2015.
SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CREDIT FACILITY
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company’s maximum revolver amount increased from $60 million to $70 million. Additionally, the Amendment modified the calculation of amounts available under the facility by expanding the definition of the assets we can include in our borrowing base and increasing our advance rates. The interest rate on our current balance was decreased and the maturity date of the revolving credit facility was extended from August 9, 2018 to August 9, 2019.
Tracy McLauchlin, IES’s Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Our amended credit facility reflects IES’s continued progress. We expect these amended terms to significantly increase the amounts available to us to borrow under the credit facility, with the opportunity to further increase our availability under the facility as our business and asset base grows. I also want to thank Wells Fargo for their continued support of IES.”
APPOINTMENT OF ROBERT LEWEY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Effective May 3, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors expanded the number of directors from four to five, and appointed Robert Lewey, who will continue to serve as President of the Company, as a member of the Board.
David Gendell, non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated, “Since Bobby’s promotion to President of IES one year ago, he has done a terrific job leading our organization forward. Not only is IES more profitable, but we have also acquired four companies, disposed of a non-core asset, and significantly improved our surety arrangements and credit facility under his leadership. Bobby’s business and operating insight, historical knowledge of IES, and his financial acumen make him an ideal candidate to join our Board of Directors.”
