Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 18, 2014, International Textile Group, Inc. (“the Company”) and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 12 (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”), as agent and lender, and certain other lenders (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to provide for, among other things, revolving credit facility availability of $85.0 million, subject to a borrowing base, a maturity date on revolving credit facility borrowings of December 18, 2019, and a maturity date on term loan borrowings of January 1, 2017, with term loan repayments of approximately $0.25 million per month required until maturity.

 

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin, or other published bank rates, plus an applicable margin, at the Company’s option. The Amendment reduced the applicable margin on all borrowings by 1.75% per annum and reduced unused commitment fees on the revolving credit facility from a range of 0.50% to 0.75% to a range of 0.25% to 0.37.5% annually, depending on amounts borrowed.

 

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain excess availability and average adjusted availability (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) at or above certain predefined levels, or certain limitations may be imposed on the Company. Among other limitations, if the Company’s excess availability falls below certain predefined levels, the lenders under the Credit Agreement can draw upon an evergreen standby letter of credit in the amount of $20.0 million (the “WLR LC”). No amounts have been drawn under this letter of credit as of the date hereof. The Amendment provides for future reductions of the WLR LC of up to $5 million, or termination of the WLR LC, based upon amounts of the term loan repaid under the Credit Agreement, the maintenance of a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, the level of average excess availability, and certain other conditions. The WLR LC has been provided by WLR Recovery Fund IV, L.P., which is controlled by Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., our controlling stockholder and who served as the Chairman of our Board of Directors until November 2014. Three other members of our board of directors are also affiliated with various investment funds controlled by Mr. Ross, Jr. that own a majority of our voting stock.
