Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On April 13, 2005, SS&C Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Fleet National Bank, a Bank of America Company (“Fleet”), regarding a two-year, $75,000,000 senior revolving credit facility (the “Loan”) intended (1) to finance a portion of the Company’s acquisition, by way of a takeover bid, of Financial Models Company Inc. (the “Acquisition” and, together with the Credit Agreement, the “Transaction”); (2) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction; and (3) to provide ongoing working capital and cash for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to borrow funds from Fleet, initially in the principal amount of $75,000,000 and including a $5,000,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit. By June 3, 2005, the maximum amount of borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be reduced to $50,000,000 and all amounts outstanding in excess of $50,000,000 must be repaid. Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, with limited exceptions. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as customary events of default and affirmative covenants. In addition, there are customary negative covenants, including financial covenants and covenants relating to liens, investments, indebtedness, fundamental changes, dispositions, and dividends and distributions.

     Upon execution of the Credit Agreement on April 13, 2005, the Company drew down the full amount of the Loan, which consisted of (1) $65,000,000 as a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an interest period of thirty days at a rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate plus 100 basis points, and (2) $10,000,000 as a Base Rate Loan bearing interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or the “prime rate” as publicly announced by Bank of America, N.A. The Company is using the proceeds of the Loan as partial consideration for the Acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and concurrent with the extension of the Loan by Fleet, the Company executed and delivered to Fleet a promissory note dated April 13, 2005 in the principal amount of $75,000,000 (the “Promissory Note”), promising payment of the principal amount and interest on the unpaid principal amount of each of the loans described above from the date of such loans until such principal amounts are paid in full.

     The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by OMR Systems Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“OMR”). In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, OMR executed a Joint and Several Continuing Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 13, 2005 (the “Guaranty”) in favor of Fleet. All guarantees made by OMR under the Guaranty are guarantees of payment and performance, and not of collection.

     Copies of the Credit Agreement, the Promissory Note and the Guaranty are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein.
