ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On November 14, 2007, holders of in excess of 92.5% of the aggregate principal amount of our 10% Senior Second Secured Notes Due 2010 (the “10% Notes”) agreed with American Color Graphics, Inc. (“Graphics”) to (a) defer to March 15, 2008, the semi-annual payment of cash interest on the 10% Notes held by such holders, which would otherwise have been due on December 15, 2007, and (b) amend certain covenants in the 10% Notes indenture. In consideration thereof, Graphics issued to each such holder a senior second secured noninterest-bearing promissory note due March 15, 2008, of Graphics with a principal amount equal to the sum of the amount of the cash interest payment deferred on the 10% Notes held by such holder and a consent fee equal to 1% of the principal amount of the 10% Notes held by such holder. Such notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ACG Holdings, Inc.
Also on November 14, 2007, certain provisions of our bank credit facilities were also amended or waived to (a) provide for an additional $5 million term loan to Graphics under our existing term loan facility, which was consummated on November 14, 2007, and (b) temporarily waive until February 15, 2008, any default under such bank credit facilities resulting from noncompliance with the first lien coverage ratio covenant in each such bank credit facility as of September 30, and December 31, 2007, for all purposes of such bank credit facilities (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining Graphics’ entitlement to make additional borrowings under either such bank credit facility on or prior to such date). Such amendment and waiver also (a) amended the covenant in each of our bank credit facilities requiring Graphics to maintain certain levels of minimum total liquidity and (b) temporarily waived until February 15, 2008, Graphics’ noncompliance with its obligation thereunder to deliver our restated consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 accompanied by a report or opinion of our independent certified public accountants that was not subject to any “going concern” qualification. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm accompanying our restated consolidated financial statements included in our Report on Form 10K/A dated August 31, 2007, contains a “going concern” qualification.
Copies of our amended and restated indenture for the 10% Notes and the senior second secured noninterest-bearing promissory notes due March 15, 2008, and the amendments and waivers with respect to our bank credit facilities are set forth in Exhibits 10.1(e), 10.13(a) and 10.30.
