Item 1.01                     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 13, 2008, DG FastChannel, Inc. entered into a $145 million amended and restated credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Bank of Montreal (“BMO”).  The New Credit Agreement consists of $115 million in term loans (“New Term Loan”) and a $30 million revolving credit facility (“New Revolver”).  Borrowings under the New Term Loan bear interest at the base rate or LIBOR, plus the applicable margin for each that fluctuates with the total leverage ratio, as defined.  The New Term Loan and New Revolver both mature in March 2013.  The New Credit Agreement provides for future acquisitions and contains financial covenants pertaining to (i) the maximum total leverage ratio, (ii) the senior leverage ratio, (iii) the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and (iv) maintaining a minimum net worth.  The New Credit Agreement also contains a variety of restrictive covenants, such as limitations on borrowings, investments and dividends, and provides for customary events of default.  The New Credit Agreement is guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The full text of the New Credit Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

A press release announcing this agreement was released on the March 13, 2008 and is exhibit 99.1 to this filing.
