Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 12, 2013, KB Home (the “Company”) entered into an unsecured $200 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”). The Facility was arranged by Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Citibank, N.A. will serve as the administrative agent and is a Lender. The Company has banking relationships in the ordinary course of its business with Citibank, N.A. and with certain of the other Lenders. In addition, Citibank, N.A. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and their respective affiliates, and the other Lenders and their respective affiliates, have in the past performed commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting and advisory services for the Company from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses, and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the Company for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.
The Facility will mature on March 12, 2016, or on September 15, 2014 if the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior notes that mature in 2015 is greater than $200 million on that date. The Facility contains an uncommitted accordion feature under which its aggregate principal amount can be increased to up to $300 million under certain circumstances, as well as a sublimit of $100 million for letters of credit. The Facility contains various covenants, including financial covenants relating to tangible net worth, leverage, liquidity or interest coverage and borrowing base, as well as a limitation on investments in joint ventures and non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The Facility contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, that would result in the termination of the commitment and permit the Lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings and require cash collateralization of letters of credit, including nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If a change in control (as defined in the Facility) occurs, the Lenders may terminate the commitment and require that the Company repay outstanding borrowings under the Facility and cash collateralize letters of credit. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus a spread that depends on the Company’s debt rating and leverage ratio. Based on the Company’s current debt rating and leverage ratio, the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Facility currently accrues at an annual rate of 0.75%.
Borrowings under the Facility are required to be guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and may be used for general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. At the closing, the Facility was undrawn and the guarantors were the guarantors under the Indenture, including the Additional Guarantors (each as defined below).
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
(a) The information set forth above under Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
