ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. On July 29, 2005, Angelica Corporation (the "Company") announced that it had entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement with LaSalle Bank National Association and other third party lenders (the "Amendment"). The Company entered into the Amendment to create additional borrowing capacity under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of January 27, 2005 (the "Agreement"). Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company's credit facility is secured by assets of the Company. In addition, the debt to EBITDA covenant is increased to 4.0 to 1.0, from the current 2.75 to 1.0 limitation, and the interest rates applicable to certain advances under the credit facility were adjusted to reflect the changes in the debt to EBITDA covenant. These adjusted interest rates for such advances will be higher than the interest rates that would have been charged under the terms of the credit facility before the Amendment. The total credit facility remains unchanged at $150 million. Additionally, the Company may request an increase in the amount of the line of credit up to $25 million without amending the credit facility, under the accordion feature of the Agreement, as amended by the Amendment. The maturity of the line of credit has been extended to July 2010. LaSalle Bank N.A. remains the lead bank of the bank group consisting of Regions Bank (formerly Union Planters), National City Bank, Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and UMB Bank N.A. A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99. ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION. See Item 1.01, which is incorporated by reference herein.
