Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 28, 2013, Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. (“Nexstar Broadcasting”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc., and Mission Broadcasting, Inc. (“Mission” and together with Nexstar Broadcasting, “Borrowers”) entered into amendments to each of their senior secured credit facilities.

The amendments provided commitments for incremental term loan facilities available to Nexstar Broadcasting of $144.0 million and to Mission of $90.0 million, subject to reallocation of up to $18.0 million for the benefit of Rocky Creek Communications, Inc. (“Rocky Creek”), an independent third party, pursuant to the terms of the amended credit agreements (the “Term Loan A Commitments”). On June 28, 2013, Nexstar Broadcasting received initial proceeds of $50.0 million under its committed term loan facility which was partially used to repay $27.0 million outstanding revolving loans and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes. The remainder of the Term Loan A Commitments are expected to be used by Nexstar Broadcasting, Mission and Rocky Creek to finance the acquisitions of certain television stations from Communications Corporation of America and White Knight Broadcasting pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 24, 2013.

Borrowings under the Term Loan A Commitments bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either a base rate plus an applicable margin or, at the Borrower’s option, a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, as defined in the amended credit agreements. The initial applicable margin for the Term Loan A Commitments is 1.25% for base rate loans and 2.25% for Eurodollar loans. Thereafter, subject to Nexstar Broadcasting’s total leverage ratio, the applicable base rate margin for the Term Loan A Commitments will vary from 0.75% and 1.50% and the applicable Eurodollar rate margin will vary from 1.75% and 2.5%.

Nexstar Broadcasting and Mission will pay a commitment fee on unused Term Loan A Commitments of 0.5% per annum commencing on October 26, 2013 until the earlier of April 30, 2014 or the date when such loans are funded or terminated.

The principal amounts under the Term Loan A Commitments are reduced by quarterly payments that increase over time from 5.0% to 10.0%, commencing on June 30, 2014 until maturity on June 15, 2017. The maturity date may be extended to June 28, 2018, under certain circumstances. The remainder of the principal is due in full at maturity.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amendments, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
