Item 1.01.                Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously announced, on April 1, 2019, Monitronics International, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), failed to make the interest payment (the “Interest Payment”) due on its 9.125% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) and such failure constituted a default under that certain Indenture, dated as of March 23, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”). The Company’s failure to make the Interest Payment within thirty days after it was due and payable constitutes an “event of default” under the Indenture. As active discussions are still ongoing regarding the Company’s evaluation of strategic alternatives, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) determined that the Company would not make the Interest Payment prior to the expiration of the thirty day grace period. An event of default under the Indenture also constitutes an “event of default” under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2012 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

 

As previously announced on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2019, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries party to the Credit Agreement, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and certain lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Credit Agreement Forbearing Parties”) entered into that certain Forbearance Agreement (as amended and as further amended by Amendment No. 5 (as defined below) and Amendment No. 6 (as defined below), the “Credit Forbearance Agreement”) and the Company and the guarantors of the Notes entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Notes Forbearance Agreement”) with certain holders of the Notes (collectively, the “Forbearing Noteholders”). On May 7, 2019 and May 10, 2019, the Company received e-mail notices from the Forbearing Noteholders that the Notes Forbearance Agreement shall be extended to May 10, 2019 and May 15, 2019, respectively, unless certain specified circumstances cause an earlier termination, pursuant to Section 2(g) of the Notes Forbearance Agreement. Further, the parties to the Credit Forbearance Agreement extended the Credit Forbearance Agreement to May 10, 2019 and May 15, 2019, pursuant to that certain Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Forbearance Agreement dated as of May 8, 2019 (“Amendment No. 5”) and by that certain Amendment No. 6, dated as of May 10, 2019 (“Amendment No. 6”), respectively, unless certain specified circumstances cause an earlier termination.

 

The above descriptions of the terms of Amendment No. 5 and Amendment No. 6 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of Amendment No. 5 and Amendment No. 6, which are attached as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.04.                Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

 

The disclosure under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
