Item 8.01. Other Events.
Effective August 14, 2014, TravelCenters of America LLC, or the Company, received a waiver from its lenders under its $200 million credit facility, extending until September 30, 2014, the requirement under such facility that the Company furnish to its lenders the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, or the Second Quarter Financial Statements. The Company is working towards furnishing to its lenders the Second Quarter Financial Statements and filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, or the Second Quarter 10-Q, as soon as possible.
Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements
THIS CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K, OR THIS FORM 8-K, INCLUDES FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED UPON THE COMPANY’S PRESENT INTENT, BELIEFS, EXPECTATIONS, AND INFORMATION, BUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS. FOR EXAMPLE:
· THIS FORM 8-K STATES THAT THE COMPANY’S LENDERS HAVE WAIVED, UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, THE COMPANY’S REQUIREMENT UNDER ITS CREDIT FACILITY TO FURNISH THE SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AN IMPLICATION OF THIS STATEMENT IS THAT THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH THE SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO LENDERS UNDER ITS CREDIT FACILITY AND FILE THE SECOND QUARTER 10-Q WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, AND THAT THE COMPANY WILL REGAIN COMPLIANCE WITH NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING STANDARDS ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, OR THAT EXTENDED OR ADDITIONAL WAIVERS WILL BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY’S LENDERS IF NECESSARY. HOWEVER, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO FILE THE SECOND QUARTER 10-Q OR OTHERWISE COMPLETE AND DELIVER THE SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BY THOSE DATES OR THAT EXTENDED OR ADDITIONAL WAIVERS WILL BE OBTAINED. THESE OUTCOMES COULD OCCUR FOR REASONS WHICH MAY BE UNKNOWN TO THE COMPANY AT THIS TIME AND MAY BE BEYOND THE COMPANY’S CONTROL. ALSO, FAILURE TO COMPLETE AND DELIVER THE SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR FILE THE SECOND QUARTER 10-Q WITHIN DIFFERENT SPECIFIED PERIODS AND THE COMPANY’S CONTINUING FAILURE TO FILE ITS FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2014, COULD GIVE RISE TO DEFAULTS UNDER THE COMPANY’S INDENTURE GOVERNING ITS 8.25% SENIOR NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
FOR THESE REASONS, AMONG OTHERS, INVESTORS IN THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS IN THIS FORM 8-K.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY DOES NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS IN THIS FORM 8-K AS A RESULT OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES, NEW INFORMATION WHICH MAY COME TO THE COMPANY’S ATTENTION OR OTHERWISE.
