GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
Laidlaw Inc. ("Laidlaw"), the parent of Greyhound Lines, Inc. ("Greyhound")
announced that, as a result of ongoing discussions with its banks and debenture
holders, Laidlaw anticipates that it will obtain secured financing facilities,
which will be sufficient to satisfy its projected seasonal and ongoing working
capital needs, as well as its near-term capital expenditure needs.
Laidlaw has been discussing financing arrangements, which would provide one or
more of the following, each of which is subject to negotiations and execution of
definitive documentation:
o Up to a $200 million revolving credit facility and a $50 million
sub-facility for letters of credit (LOCs) for Laidlaw from a group of
financial institutions led by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
o Up to a $125 million revolving facility with a $25 million LOC
sub-facility for Greyhound from Foothill Capital Corporation.
o An accounts receivable securitization transaction, which will provide
up to $150 million.
Laidlaw is soliciting the consent of holders of Laidlaw's debentures to waive
compliance with certain provisions of the indentures relating to the incurrence
of secured indebtedness, thus allowing these new financing facilities to be put
in place.
Should Greyhound close the Foothill facility or otherwise elect not to enter
into the banking-syndicate facility, the bank facility would be reduced by an
amount to be agreed upon. In addition, Greyhound has entered into a commitment
for an alternate short-term facility that does not require the consent of
holders of Laidlaw's debentures.
In addition to the consent of the debenture holders, Laidlaw is seeking the
consent of the lenders under its syndicated bank facility to complete the
foregoing financing transactions.
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. Among the important factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are
competitive pressures, changes in pricing policies, business conditions in the
marketplace, general economic conditions, cooperation of lenders and debt
security holders, negotiation and execution of definitive documentation for the
financing facilities and the risk factors detailed from time to time in
Greyhound's periodic reports and registration statements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
