Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective April 27, 2006, PW Eagle, Inc. (“PW Eagle” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary USPoly Company, LLC (“USPoly”), as co-borrowers, entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement’) with Bank of America, N.A., acting as agent (“Bank of America”). The Agreement amends and replaces in its entirety the Company’s existing credit facility with Bank of America N.A.. The Agreement provides the Company and USPoly with greater flexibility with respect to financial covenants, as well as a reduced interest rate.
Under the Agreement, PW Eagle and USPoly are provided with a five-year, $100 million revolving line of credit secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of PW Eagle’s and USPoly’s assets. The Company has the ability to increase the amount of the facility to $125 million. The initial interest rate on funds borrowed under the Agreement is a floating rate based on Bank of America’s announced or quoted prime rate for commercial loans or LIBOR, at the Company’s election. The Agreement requires PW Eagle to comply with certain restrictive financial covenants including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default such as nonpayment, bankruptcy, and the change in control of PW Eagle.
The foregoing description of the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated by reference herein.
