ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On September 15, 2004, Golfsmith International, Inc. (Golfsmith), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) entered into a First Supplemental Indenture (the First Supplemental Indenture) with U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (the Trustee), and Golfsmiths wholly-owned subsidiaries and Holdings, as guarantors (the Guarantors). The First Supplemental Indenture is a supplement to an indenture, dated as of October 15, 2002, among Golfsmith, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the Indenture), under which Golfsmith previously issued $93.75 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of 8.375% Senior Secured Notes Due 2009 (the Notes).
The First Supplemental Indenture amends three covenants of Golfsmith (the Amendments) contained in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that supplemental indentures of this type may only be entered into upon receipt of consents from registered holders representing at least a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes outstanding and not held or beneficially owned by Golfsmith or any of its affiliates. Prior to execution of the First Supplemental Indenture, Golfsmith solicited and received the required consents to the Amendments.
The Amendments (i) revise Section 4.22 of the Indenture to provide that Golfsmith and its subsidiaries are not required to obtain leasehold mortgages on leases which are acquired by Golfsmith through an acquisition or similar transaction or upon any renewal or replacement of a lease, (ii) revise Section 4.24 of the Indenture and the definition of Capital Expenditure Basket to provide that Golfsmiths capital expenditure limitations are calculated on a fiscal year, or annual, rather than a rolling four quarters basis and (iii) revise Section 4.14(c) of the Indenture to clarify so that any new subsidiary of Golfsmith which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary under the Indenture is subject only to the same security provisions of the Indenture as those to which existing Restricted Subsidiaries are subject.
There are no material relationships between the Trustee, on the one hand, and Golfsmith, the Guarantors or any of their respective affiliates, on the other hand, other than in respect of the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture.
The foregoing description of the First Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3.03. MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS
