Item 1.03 | Bankruptcy or Receivership. |
On November 17, 2010, Local Insight Regatta Holdings, Inc. (the Company), all of its domestic subsidiaries and certain affiliates of the Company (together with the Company, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court) seeking reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code).
The prolonged economic downturn in the United States, declining use of print yellow page directories, the highly competitive local advertising industry and the Companys significant outstanding indebtedness have combined to make it difficult for the Company to manage its substantial debt burden.
On November 15, 2010, a default occurred under the Companys senior secured credit facilities (the Credit Facilities) due to the fact that at September 30, 2010, the Company: (i) exceeded the maximum allowable consolidated leverage ratio (i.e., the ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA) and the maximum allowable consolidated senior secured debt ratio (i.e., the ratio of consolidated senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA) under the Credit Facilities and (ii) failed to meet the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (i.e., the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense) under the Credit Facilities.
The Debtors voluntary filing of the bankruptcy petitions constituted a default under the Credit Facilities. As a result of such default, the commitments under the Credit Facilities immediately terminated and all loans thereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under the Credit Facilities became immediately due and payable. In addition, the bankruptcy filing constituted a default under the indenture governing the Companys 11% senior subordinated notes due 2017 (the Notes). As a result of such default, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes is due and payable. As of November 17, 2010, the aggregate amount owing under the Credit Facilities was approximately $339.2 million and the aggregate amount outstanding under the Notes was approximately $221.2 million.
The Company has evaluated various options for restructuring its balance sheet and debt service obligations to alleviate covenant issues under the Credit Facilities and to create a capital structure that will permit the Company to remain a going concern. The Company believes that a financial restructuring designed to reduce its outstanding indebtedness, strengthen its balance sheet and improve its liquidity can best be achieved through a reorganization pursuant to a Chapter 11 proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.
The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer has not been appointed. A copy of the press release dated November 18, 2010 announcing the Debtors bankruptcy filing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
As a result of the Debtors bankruptcy filing, the ability of creditors to seek remedies to enforce their rights under the Credit Facilities and the Notes have been stayed, and creditors rights of enforcement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
Item 2.04 | Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement. |
The information required by Item 2.04 relating to the Credit Facilities and the Notes is contained in Item 1.03 above and is incorporated herein by reference.
