Item 8.01. Other Events

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

 

Raceway Seat Removal. In December 2014, Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (the “Company”) committed to removing approximately 41,000 and 17,000 of low demand seats at its Charlotte and Atlanta Motor Speedways, respectively, associated with managing facility capacity. The Company anticipates using those areas for premium hospitality, advertising and other facility purposes. Removal of these seats is expected to result in a fourth quarter 2014 non-cash, pre-tax charge for accelerated depreciation of approximately $23.0 million, and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2015.

 

Proposed New Credit Facility. The Company is in negotiations to replace its existing $350 million senior secured credit facility, which matures in 2018, with a new $300 million senior secured credit facility that would mature in 2019. This new credit facility, if consummated, is expected to be used to repay certain of the Company’s existing debt. There can be no assurance that we will enter into the new credit facility on such terms, or at all.
