Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
New Credit Facility; Guarantees
On September 29, 2005, Entravision Communications Corporation (the Company) entered into a $650 million Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the New Credit Agreement) among the Company, certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the Guarantors), Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Book Manager and Co-Syndication Agent, Union Bank of California, N.A., as Joint Book Manager, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Book Manager and Co-Syndication Agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Documentation Agent, Harris Nesbitt, as Documentation Agent, and National City Bank, as Documentation Agent.
The New Credit Agreement provides for a 7-1/2-year $500 million senior secured term loan facility (the Term Facility) and a 6-1/2-year $150 million senior secured revolving loan facility (the Revolving Facility and together with the Term Facility, the New Credit Facility). Up to $50 million under the Revolving Facility will be available in the form of letters of credit. The New Credit Facility also provides that, under certain circumstances, the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility by up to an additional $250 million. All obligations of the Company under the New Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed (the Guarantees) by the Guarantors and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors.
The term loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%. The revolving loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum, depending on the level of Revolving Facility usage. The Revolving Facility expires on March 29, 2012 and the term loans mature on March 29, 2013. Amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of a LIBOR loan.
The New Credit Facility replaces the Companys prior credit facility dated as of August 24, 2004 (the Prior Credit Facility). All commitments under the Prior Credit Facility were terminated effective September 29, 2005.
On September 29, 2005, the Company borrowed $500 million under the Term Facility. The Company used a portion of such proceeds (i) to repay all amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility and (ii) to complete its tender offer (the Tender Offer) for $225 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the Notes). The Notes were issued under an Indenture dated as of March 1, 2002 (the Indenture) among the Company, the Guarantors and Union Bank of California, N.A., as Trustee. Following completion of the Tender Offer, the Company discharged the Indenture.
Borrowings under the New Credit Facility will be used by the Company to, among other things, fund its working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes.
Approximately $3 million in existing letters of credit under the Prior Credit Facility were deemed issued under the New Credit Facility. Accordingly, the total revolving credit availability under the Revolving Facility immediately after the consummation of the New Credit Facility was approximately $147 million. The Companys ability to borrow monies in the future under the New Credit Facility is subject to certain conditions, including compliance with certain covenants and making certain representations and warranties.
The New Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and Guarantors, among other things, to:
| incur or guarantee indebtedness; |
| pay dividends or repurchase stock; |
| enter into transactions with affiliates; |
| consummate asset sales, acquisitions or mergers; |
| prepay certain other indebtedness; or |
| make investments. |
The New Credit Facility requires compliance with the following financial covenants (in each case calculated as set forth in the New Credit Facility):
| minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; |
| maximum leverage ratio; |
| maximum senior leverage ratio; and |
| maximum consolidated capital expenditures. |
The New Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including:
| failure to make required payments; |
| failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants; |
| certain cross-default events; |
| changes of control; |
| certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency; |
| failure to pay certain judgments; and |
| termination of material media licenses. |
On September 30, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had entered into the New Credit Facility and completed the Tender Offer. A copy of that press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
