Item 1.01              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 28, 2013, UniTek Global Services, Inc. (the “Company”) received from Apollo Investment Corporation (“Lender”) a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which Lender committed, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and the payment of certain fees, as described below, to provide to the Company financing arrangements including an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with a commitment amount of $75 million (the “Commitment Amount”).  The Commitment Letter contemplates that the parties will enter into definitive documentation for the ABL Facility no later than July 10, 2013.

 

The Company contemplates that the ABL Facility will replace the Company’s existing Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2011 (as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Company, certain subsidiaries thereof, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as agent.

 

The ABL Facility is expected to increase borrowing availability as compared to availability under the Existing Credit Agreement in order to provide the Company with additional liquidity as it continues its previously announced process to explore refinancing alternatives for its indebtedness in addition to the ABL Facility to address its tightening financial covenants and liquidity situation.  The increase in borrowing availability over current availability will be $30 million through October 31, 2013, $25 million from November 1, 2013 through November 30, 2013 and $20 million thereafter.

 

Pursuant to its receipt of the Commitment Letter, the Company will pay to Lender certain fees, including a “Commitment Fee” equal to 4% of the Commitment Amount, payable in two equal installments due upon receipt of the Commitment Letter and the initial funding of the ABL Facility.
