Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 9, 2009, LPL Investment Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement (as defined below) (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) amending certain provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, LPL Holdings, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Borrower”), the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as sole lead arranger, sole book runner and syndication agent, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent, and Morgan Stanley & Co., as Collateral Agent.
The Credit Agreement Amendment gives the Borrower the ability in the future to replace at least a portion of its existing revolver and/or term loans with longer dated tranches. The Credit Agreement Amendment also gives the Borrower the ability to issue debt outside of the Credit Agreement (for example, bonds) to refinance debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Credit Agreement Amendment adds an exception to the general requirement to pledge subsidiary stock in the event such pledge would be prohibited by applicable law or other contractual obligations.
A copy of the Credit Agreement Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference as though it was fully set forth herein. The foregoing summary description of the Credit Agreement Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby are not intended to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by the complete text of the Credit Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto.
