Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 21, 2009, Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) launched an amendment to its $685 million senior secured credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”). The amendment would, among other things, permit the Company to make open market purchases of outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement on a non-pro rata basis using cash up to a specified amount or cash proceeds from equity issuances or in exchange for equity interests during a specified period following the effective date of the amendment. The Company is currently seeking the consent of the requisite lenders in order to effect the amendment. The Company can give no assurance whether the amendment will be approved by the requisite lenders and, if approved, if and when the Company will make any such repurchase.
