Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective November 15, 2007, the Company, as Borrower, entered into a Loan Agreement with each of the financial institutions that are signatories to thereto (the “Lenders”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as a Lender and as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) of the Lenders. The Loan Agreement establishes a secured revolving line of credit in the principal amount of up to $90,000,000. At the Company’s option, interest on advances will be based on the Administrative Agent’s prime rate or an applicable LIBOR rate. Interest is due monthly and all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due on November 13, 2009, the maturity date of the loan.
Pursuant to the terms of a Fee and Leasehold Mortgage With Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing executed by the Company and Kapalua Land Company, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in favor of the Lenders, the loan is secured by approximately 1,437 acres of the Company’s land in West Maui.
The Loan Agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type.
The Company borrowed approximately $17.0 million under the Loan Agreement at closing. The initial advances under the Loan Agreement were used to re-pay approximately $16.1 million, representing all outstanding principal and interest, under the Company’s revolving credit facility with Bank of Hawaii and certain other lenders. Subsequent advances will be used for short-term capital requirements, working capital and general corporate purposes.
The foregoing description of the secured revolving line of credit does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement and Fee and Leasehold Mortgage With Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, copies of which are filed as exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
