Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 21, 2006, Adelphia Communications Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a commitment letter and a related fee letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Citicorp North America, Inc. (collectively, the “Committed Banks”) pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Committed Banks have agreed to provide to the Company and its subsidiaries, including the registrants, a portion of and to syndicate an extended debtor-in-possession credit facility (the “Extended DIP Facility”). The terms of the commitment letter contemplate, among other things, (i) a $1.3 billion facility, (ii) the extension of the maturity date from March 31, 2006, the maturity date under the Company’s existing debtor-in-possession credit facility (the “Existing DIP Facility”), to August 7, 2006, (iii) an extension of the date for delivery of the (x) consolidated audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 until no later than April 30, 2006, and (y) combining unaudited schedule for each borrower group under the Extended DIP Facility for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 until no later than May 31, 2006, and (iv) a 25 basis point decrease in the borrowing margins (when compared to the borrowing margins under the Existing DIP Facility) with respect to loans made under the Extended DIP Facility. The commitment letter and the related fee letter will not become binding upon the Company or its subsidiaries party thereto unless and until such agreements are approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company and its subsidiaries, including the registrants, intend to file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking the approval of the commitment letter and the related fee letter and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.
A copy of the commitment letter is attached to this filing as Exhibit 10.01 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the commitment letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
Certain of the Committed Banks were lenders and agents under certain of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ pre-petition credit facilities. As previously announced, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Official Committee of Equity Holders appointed in the bankruptcy cases of the Company and its subsidiaries have initiated an adversary proceeding and are prosecuting claims against the lenders and agents under the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ pre-petition credit facilities (the “Litigation”). A more complete description of the Litigation is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Form 10-K”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Litigation has been transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) and the District Court will have jurisdiction over the Litigation, except with respect to certain motions for summary judgment that are pending before the Bankruptcy Court. The foregoing summary of the Litigation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description of the Litigation in the 2004 Form 10-K.
