| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On May 15, 2007, Multi-Color Corporation, (the “Company”) entered into a new five-year senior secured revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, certain financial institutions (the “Lenders”) and LaSalle Bank National Association (“LaSalle”) as Administrative Agent.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $50 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which the Company may elect to increase by up to $50 million subject to certain terms as described in the loan documents. The Credit Agreement also includes a subfacility for letters of credit issued by LaSalle or one of its affiliates, multi-currency borrowings and swingline loans. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing credit agreement and provides for the repurchase of stock, payment of dividends, acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital or other corporate purposes. The Company is not borrowing under the Credit Agreement at this time, but may borrow from time to time as opportunities and needs arise.
Loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest either at: (i) the greater of (a) LaSalle’s prime rate in effect from time to time and (b) the federal funds rate in effect from time to time plus 0.5% or (ii) the applicable London interbank offered rate plus the applicable margin for such loans which ranges between 0.625% and 1.75% based on the Company’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. The Company will pay an annual facility fee of $5,000 to each of the four Lenders, payable at the closing to the Administrative Agent and annually thereafter on the anniversary of the closing date.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary negative and affirmative covenants. Negative covenants include, among others, limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, guarantees and capital leases. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain the following financial covenants: (a) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00, (b) total debt to EBITDA of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and (c) a net worth of not less than 80% of the Company’s net worth at March 31, 2007, stepping up quarterly by 50% of quarterly net income beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. The Company’s indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is collateralized by liens on substantially all of the Company’s personal property as defined in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement.
The description of the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
