On December 31, 2015, GoldenTree Asset Management LP assigned all of its rights as lender under SFX Entertainment Inc.’s $30 million revolving credit facility to Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership V (“Catalyst”).  Concurrently with such assignment, SFX Entertainment Inc. and certain of its affiliated companies (the “Company”) and Catalyst entered into that certain forbearance agreement and first amendment to credit agreement (the “Forbearance and Amendment Agreement”), dated as of December 31, 2015, amending certain terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of September 17, 2015.

 

Among other things, the Forbearance and Amendment Agreement modifies the Credit Agreement by (i) providing for a forbearance period through the earlier to occur of January 28, 2016, or the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, during which Catalyst will not exercise its rights with respect to certain existing and identified defaults by the Company under the Credit Agreement, (ii) appointing Catalyst as the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement in replacement of Barclays Bank PLC, (iii) increasing the applicable interest rates for loans under the Credit Agreement to 20.00% per annum, (iv) providing for interest payments to be due on the last day of each calendar month, (v) providing for an early termination payment of $1.5 million in the event the Company pre-pays the loans under the Credit Agreement, (vi) requiring the Company to engage a Chief Restructuring Officer reasonably acceptable to Catalyst, and (vii) restricting and limiting certain commercial and dividend payments and asset sales by the Company during the term of the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Forbearance and Amendment Agreement contemplates Catalyst providing $20.0 million in credit to a material European subsidiary of the Company to be guaranteed on a first lien basis by select non-domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Foreign Loan”), which Foreign Loan shall be used to support the operations of the Company and its European operations. Under the terms of the Forbearance and Amendment Agreement, the Company shall pay a $1.0 million forbearance fee to Catalyst simultaneous with the closing of the Foreign Loan.
