Item 1.01 |
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 27, 2008, Landstar System, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Landstar System Holdings, Inc. (LSHI), entered into a senior credit facility, in the form of a
five-year $225 million revolving credit agreement (the
Credit Agreement) to refinance their
existing credit facility (the Existing Credit Facility). The new credit facility will expire in
June 2013.
On
June 27, 2008, LSHI borrowed $67 million under the Credit
Agreement to refinance $67 million of outstanding borrowings under the
Existing Credit Facility, which has been terminated. The initial borrowings under the Credit
Agreement will bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points. Borrowings
under the Credit Agreement are unsecured, however, all but two of the
Companys
subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that limit, among other things, the
incurrence of additional indebtedness and the incurrence of operating or capital lease obligations.
The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to meet certain financial tests. The Company is
required to, among other things, maintain a minimum Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio and limit its
borrowings to a specified ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization (the Leverage Ratio), as each is defined in the Credit Agreement.
The
Credit Agreement provides for an event of default in the event, among
other things, that a
person or group acquires 25% or more of the outstanding capital stock
of the Company or obtains
the power to elect a majority of the Companys directors.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached
as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
