Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 17, 2010 by K-V Pharmaceutical Company (the “Registrant”), on September 13, 2010, the Registrant entered into a loan agreement with U.S. Healthcare I, L.L.C. and U.S. Healthcare II, L.L.C. for a $20 million loan secured by assets of the Registrant and by the assets and securities of certain of Registrant’s subsidiaries. The loan agreement included a period of exclusivity to negotiate an expanded, longer-term financial arrangement among the Registrant and U.S. Healthcare I, L.L.C. and U.S. Healthcare II, L.L.C. The period of exclusivity initially expired September 28, 2010 and was extended through October 4, 2010, and then through October 20, 2010.
On October 22, 2010, at the request of U.S. Healthcare I, L.L.C. and U.S. Healthcare II, L.L.C., the Registrant agreed to extend the exclusivity period through and including October 29, 2010. Such exclusivity does not, however, preclude KV from, among other things, participating through and including October 29, 2010 in specified types of discussions or negotiations not pertaining to financing matters.
