Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 21, 2017, National Mentor Holdings, Inc. (“NMHI”) and NMH Holdings, LLC (“NMHH”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of Civitas Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: CIVI) (the “Company”), and certain subsidiaries of NMHI, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), entered into Amendment No. 7 (the “Amendment No. 7”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of January 31, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the “Senior Credit Agreement”) by and among NMHI, NMHH, the Guarantors, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and the other agents and lenders named therein. Amendment No. 7 increased the aggregate revolving commitments under the Senior Credit Agreement from $120.0 million to $160.0 million and extended the maturity date for $90.0 million of the revolving commitments (the “Extended Revolving Commitments”) to January 31, 2021. The terms of the remaining $70.0 million of the revolving commitments (the “Initial Revolving Commitments”), which mature on January 31, 2019, remain unchanged. All of the other terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments are identical to the Initial Revolving Commitments, except that the applicable margin for the Extended Revolving Commitments will decrease by 0.25% per annum when the Initial Revolving Commitments are terminated or expire. As a result, after the Initial Revolving Commitments are terminated or expire, the applicable margin for revolving borrowings under the Extended Revolving Commitments that are designated as ABR borrowings will be 2.00%, and the applicable margin for revolving borrowings under the Extended Revolving Commitments that are designated as Eurodollar borrowings will be 3.00%.

WHEREAS, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent an Extension Offer to extend the maturity of the Revolving Commitments to January 31, 2021 as provided for in Section 2.24 of the Credit Agreement (the “Effective Date Extended Revolving Termination Date”).
