Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement

On August 25, 2011, Luby’s, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Fifth Amendment dated as of August 25, 2011 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of November 9, 2009 (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and Amegy Bank National Association, as syndication agent. The material provisions of the Amendment are summarized below:

 

   

Permitted the Company to elect to increase the aggregate commitments of the lenders to up to $70.0 million, subject to the approval of the lenders. The aggregate commitments as of August 25, 2011 were $50.0 million.

 

   

Changed the maturity date from September 1, 2011 to September 1, 2014.

 

   

Reduced interest rate margins (1) for any ABR loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement), from a range of 1.75% to 2.75% to a range of 1.00% to 2.00% and (2) for any Eurodollar loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement), from a range of 2.75% to 4.50% to a range of 2.75% to 3.75%. The applicable spread continues to be dependent upon the ratio of the Company’s debt to EBITDA at the most recent determination date, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

 

   

Eliminated the 4.00% interest rate floor with respect to loans made under the Credit Agreement.

 

   

Added the following financial covenants requiring:

 

   

maintenance of a ratio of (a) EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter to (b) the sum of (x) interest expense for such four fiscal-quarter-period plus (y) the outstanding principal balance of the loans as of the last day of such fiscal quarter divided by seven, of not less than (1) 2.00 to 1.00, beginning with the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and ending with the first quarter of fiscal 2012, (2) 2.25 to 1.00 beginning with the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and ending with the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and (3) 2.50 to 1.00 beginning with the end of second quarter of fiscal 2013 and thereafter;

 

   

maintenance of minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Amendment) of not less than (1) $126.7 million as of the last day of the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011 and (2) at all times during each fiscal quarter thereafter, the minimum Tangible Net Worth required as of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter plus 60% of the consolidated net income of the Company (if positive) for such immediately preceding fiscal quarter; and

 

   

maintenance of minimum net profit (as defined in the Amendment) of $1.00 (1) for at least one of the first three fiscal quarters of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year, (2) for at least one of any two consecutive fiscal quarters beginning with the fourth fiscal quarter of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year, and (3) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning with the four consecutive fiscal years ending with the fourth quarter of the Company’s 2011 fiscal year.

 

   

Modified the financial covenants to require the maintenance of EBITDA of not less than (1) $7.0 million for the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011 and (2) $6.5 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

   

Modified the restriction on capital expenditures. Prior to the Amendment, the Credit Agreement limited capital expenditures to $15.0 million. Following the Amendment, aggregate capital expenditures are limited to $15.0 million for the Company’s 2011 fiscal year or, for any subsequent fiscal year, to the sum of (1) the lesser of (a) $38.0 million or (b) an amount equal to 130% of EBITDA for the immediately preceding fiscal year plus (2) any unused availability for capital expenditures from the immediately preceding fiscal year.
