Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 11, 2006 ePlus inc. (“ePlus” or “the Company”) entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (“the Amendment”) to a Credit Agreement dated September 23, 2005 (“Credit Agreement”) with National City Bank, as Administrative Agent, and Branch Banking and Trust Company of Virginia (“BB&T”). The Amendment extends the term of the agreement approximately three years to July 10, 2009, subject to earlier termination upon certain events. In certain events of default, as set forth in the Credit Agreement and not revised in the Amendment, the lenders may terminate the Credit Agreement and accelerate the maturity of any amounts then owed under the Credit Agreement.
The Amendment also grants the Company 120 days from its fiscal year end to deliver audited financial statements, as compared to 60 days in the Credit Agreement. The Amendment grants the Company 90 days to deliver unaudited quarterly financial statements, as compared to 45 days in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Amendment provided the Company with a limited waiver for its failure to provide its annual audited financial statements prior to May 31, 2006, as required under the terms of the Credit Agreement prior to the Amendment. Pursuant to the limited waiver contained in the Amendment, the Company is required to provide its annual audited financial statements for the 2006 fiscal year by July 28, 2006.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
On July 12, 2006, ePlus issued a press release announcing the renewal of the Credit Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
