Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 22, 2015, Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (the “Company”) and all of its domestic operating subsidiaries, except Oil-Chem Research Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the initial purchasers party thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), for the issuance and sale (the “Transaction”) to the Initial Purchasers of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations.

 

The offering price of the Notes is 100% of the principal amount of the Notes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, together with borrowings under its credit facility and cash on hand, to redeem all of the Company’s 63/4% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). The information filed in this Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or the 2019 Notes.

 

Certain of the Initial Purchasers and/or their affiliates may be holders of the 2019 Senior Notes and, accordingly, will receive a pro rata portion of the proceeds of the offering in connection with any redemption.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2014.
