Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 7, 2010, Celadon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into a $50 million five-year, revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement"). The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and guaranteed by Celadon Trucking Services, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, TruckersB2B, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Celadon E-Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Celadon Canada, Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Quality Equipment Leasing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Celadon Logistics Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Credit Agreement will be used to refinance the Company’s existing credit facility and provide for ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes. Bank of America, N.A., served as the lead arranger in the Credit Agreement and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (together with Bank of America, N.A., the "Lenders") participated in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on December 7, 2015.
The Credit Agreement contains the following financial covenants: a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1 to 1; a maximum lease adjusted total debt to EBITDAR ratio of 3.5 to 1; a minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1; and a minimum tangible net worth of $100,000,000 adjusted quarterly and in certain other events.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are classified as either "base rate loans", "LIBOR loans", or "Euro dollar loans" at the option of the Company. Base rate loans accrue interest at a base rate equal to Bank of America, N.A.'s prime rate. LIBOR loans or Euro dollar loans accrue interest at LIBOR or Euro dollar plus an applicable margin that is adjusted quarterly between 0.75% and 1.125% based on the Company’s lease adjusted total debt to EBITDAR ratio. An unused line fee that is adjusted quarterly between 0.15% and 0.25% is applied to the average daily amount by which the Lenders' aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement exceed the outstanding principal amount of revolver loans and the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes usual and customary events of default for a facility of this nature and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated, and the Lenders' commitments may be terminated. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions and covenants relating to, among other things, dividends, liens, acquisitions and dispositions, affiliate transactions, and total indebtedness.
This description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which will be filed with the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2010.
