Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 27, 2006, Diebold, Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement and a term note (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) documenting a $100.0 million term loan from PNC to the Company (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan matures on December 27, 2006. Interest accrues on principal amounts outstanding under the Term Loan at a rate equal to either, at the Company’s option, (a) LIBOR plus 0.75% or (b) a base rate. The proceeds of the Term Loan will be used in the consummation of certain internal corporate restructurings. Amounts owed under the Loan Documents may be accelerated upon the occurrence of various events of default customary to financings of this type.
Additionally on November 27, 2006, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amends the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2003, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and the other lenders party thereto, as amended by the first, second and third amendments thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company may consummate the corporate restructurings referenced above without resort to various negative covenant baskets, thus retaining greater flexibility under the Credit Agreement.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The disclosure under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Term Loan is incorporated herein by reference.
