Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 22, 2014, Diamond Resorts International, Inc. (the “Company”) and Diamond Resorts Corporation, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“DRC”), entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and lenders comprising at least 50% of the sum of all loans outstanding and unused credit commitments under the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”).
The First Amendment allows the Company to make restricted payments of at least $75,000,000 (including purchases under the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase program) by increasing the Company’s restricted payments allowance by $50,000,000 from and after December 22, 2014, through the earlier of (a) the day that is 100 days after December 31, 2014 and (b) the date as of which the Company’s portion of excess cash flow that could be utilized for restricted payments by the Company would be finally determined by the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2014 in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
The description of the First Amendment set forth above in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The Company’s stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock or to acquire shares on any particular timetable, and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and amount of share repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of the Company’s credit agreement, and other factors.
