Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 15, 2014, Gray Television, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment and Incremental Facility Amendment (“Incremental Facility”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2014 (the “Credit Facility”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto. Pursuant to the Incremental Facility, the Company was provided an incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The incremental term loan constitutes an additional term loan, and has the same terms as the Company’s existing term loan, under the Credit Facility, including a June 13, 2021 maturity date and an interest rate of, at the option of the Company, either the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus 1.75%-2.0% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.75%-3.0%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%, in each case based on a first lien leverage ratio test as set forth in the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Incremental Facility currently bear interest at 3.75%. The Company is also required to make quarterly principal repayments equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the incremental term loan.
Proceeds from borrowings under the incremental term loan were used to fund the cash purchase price to complete the acquisition of WJRT Acquisition, Inc. and WTVG Acquisition, Inc. (together, the “Targets”), to refinance existing indebtedness of the Targets, and to pay related fees and expenses, as well as for general corporate purposes.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
