Item 1.01             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

                On June 5, 2008, DG FastChannel, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a $65 million senior unsecured bridge loan agreement (the “Bridge Loan”) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Bank of Montreal (“BMO”).  Borrowings under the Bridge Loan bear interest at 11%, plus the applicable margin that increases at stipulated intervals.  The Bridge Loan matures in June 2010.  As a component of the Company’s existing credit facility, the Bridge Loan 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 Bridge Loan also contains a variety of restrictive covenants, such as limitations on borrowings, investments and dividends, and provides for customary events of default.  The Bridge Loan is guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiary and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The full text of the Bridge Loan Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K.

On June 5, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had completed the acquisition of the Vyvx advertising services business, including its distribution, post-production and related operations, from Level 3 Communications, Inc.  The acquisition was completed pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement among the Company, WilTel Communications, LLC, Level 3 Communications, LLC and Vyvx, LLC for a purchase price of approximately $129 million in cash, subject to certain working capital and certain other post-closing price adjustments. The Company received financing for the acquisition from BMO Capital Markets for a six–year, $145 million senior credit facility (previously discussed on a Form 8-K filed March 17, 2008) and a two-year, $65 million senior unsecured bridge loan (as discussed in Item 1.01 hereof) to fund the Vyvx advertising services business transaction and to refinance the Company’s existing $85 million senior credit facility.  A press release announcing this information was released on June 5, 2008 and is Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
