Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On March 23, 2010, the Company established a term loan and revolving credit facility for working capital purposes (the “Credit Facility”), the terms of which are governed by a Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of March 23, 2010 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries (as borrowers and/or guarantors), certain funds and accounts managed by Whippoorwill Associates, Inc., as lenders, Ambassadors International Cruise Group (USA), LLC, as funds agent, and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as administrative agent and as collateral agent. The Credit Facility provides for a $5 million revolving credit facility and for a $10 million term loan (to be drawn in two tranches), the proceeds of which are to be used for working capital and other corporate purposes of the Company, its Windstar Cruises operations and the Company’s other subsidiaries. Approximately $7.0 million of the proceeds of the term loan portion of the Credit Facility will be used to fund scheduled dry-docks of two Windstar vessels in April and November 2010. On March 23, 2010, the first tranche of the term loan, in the amount of $7.5 million, was funded. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of 12 percent per annum, are secured (on a first priority basis) by the three Windstar vessels and substantially all the other assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, and mature on January 2, 2012. The Credit Facility provides for payment of a 4% annual facility fee to the lenders and customary agent fees. The Credit Agreement contains a minimum EBITDA financial covenant and other customary covenants for financings of this type, including restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, capital expenditures, mergers, sales and other dispositions of property and other fundamental changes, and customary event of default provisions.
In connection with the new Credit Facility, the Company also amended the Indenture dated as of November 13, 2009 among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture”), relating to the Company’s 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2012, pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 23, 2010, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as indenture trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”). The Supplemental Indenture, among other things, increased the maximum principal amount of the working capital facility permitted thereunder from $10 million to $15 million and modified the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement between the collateral agent for the Credit Facility and the indenture trustee. The execution of the Supplemental Indenture was consented to by holders of more than 80% in principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The forgoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture, which are filed with this report as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
