This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) contains both historical and forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The statements contained in this Report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions and strategies for the future. These statements appear in a number of places in this Report and include all statements that are not historical statements of fact regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to, among other things: (i) our financing plans; (ii) trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations; (iii) our growth strategy and operating strategy; (iv) the declaration and payment of dividends; (v) the timing and magnitude of future contracts; (vi) parts shortages and longer lead times; (vii) fluctuations in margins; and (viii) the introduction of new products and technology. The words “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plans” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed herein, including those discussed in detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2012 in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
(a) On November 9, 2012, Daktronics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Eleventh Amendment to Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) and a related Renewal Revolving Note (the “Renewal Note”) with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Bank”). The Amendment and the Renewal Note amend the Company’s original Loan Agreement and Revolving Note dated October 14, 1998 with the Bank (collectively, the “Original Credit Facility”). (The Original Credit Facility, as subsequently amended (including by the Amendment and the Renewal Note) are collectively referred to as the “Credit Facility”).The Amendment and the Renewal Note extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility from November 15, 2012 to November 15, 2013; extend the date of final expiration for outstanding letters of credit to November 15, 2015 in the case of letters of credit not exceeding $500,000, to November 15, 2013 in the case of letters of credit not exceeding $5,000,000, and to November 15, 2013 in the case of all other letters of credit. The balance of letters of credit outstanding as of November 09, 2012 was approximately $3.0 million. The Credit Facility remains unsecured. There were no other advances outstanding as of November 09, 2012.
As a result of the strong cash position of the Company, the Company determined that it was appropriate to not make any material changes to the Credit Facility. As of October 27, 2012, the Company had approximately $79 million of available and unrestricted cash and marketable securities, which it feels diminishes the need for a larger credit facility or other material amendments to the Credit Facility, although this situation could change.
Also on November 9, 2012, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to Loan Agreement (the “BoA Amendment”), a related Reaffirmation of and Second Amendment to Unlimited Guaranty Agreement (“the BoA Guaranty”), and a related Amended and Restated Revolving Note (the “BoA Note”) with Bank of American, N.A. (“BoA”). The BoA Amendment, the BoA Guaranty, and the BoA Note amend the Company's Loan Agreement and Revolving Note dated June 15, 2012, with BoA (the “Original BoA Loan”). (The Original BoA Loan, as subsequently amended (including by the BoA Amendment, the BoA Guaranty, and the BoA Note) are collectively referred to as the “BoA Credit Facility”). The BoA Amendment, BoA Guaranty, and the BoA Note increase the principal amount of the BoA Credit Facility from $20,000,000 to $35,000,000 and otherwise conform the terms of the BoA Credit Facility to the terms of the Credit Facility. The BoA Credit Facility is intended to support the Company's credit needs outside of the United States. It includes facilities for letters of credit and bank guarantees and to secure foreign loans. The BoA Credit Facility remains unsecured. As of October 27, 2012, there was less than $1 million in advances outstanding and no outstanding bank guarantees under the BoA Credit Facility.
The foregoing description of the Amendment, the Renewal Note, the BoA Amendment, the Boa Guaranty and the BoA Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
