TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 27, 2009, Ultralife Corporation (the Company) entered into an Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (the Restated Credit Agreement) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and
Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (together, the Lenders). The Restated Credit Agreement
reflects the previous ten amendments to the original Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement)
dated June 30, 2004 between the Company and the Lenders and modifies certain of those provisions.
The Restated Credit Agreement among other things (i) increases the current revolver loan
commitment from $22,500,000 to $35,000,000, (ii) extends the maturity date of the revolving credit
component from January 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010, (iii) modifies the interest rate, and (iv)
modifies certain covenants.
The
rate of interest is based, in general, upon either a LIBOR rate plus
a Eurodollar spread or an Alternate Base Rate plus an ABR spread,
as that term is defined in the Restated Credit Agreement, within a predetermined grid, which is
dependent upon whether Earnings Before Interest and Taxes for the most recently completed fiscal
quarter is greater than or less than zero. Additionally, among other covenant modifications, the
Restated Credit Agreement modifies the financial covenants by (i) revising the debt to earnings
ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio and (ii) deleting the current assets to liabilities ratio.
The foregoing summary of the Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is
subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Restated Credit Agreement which
is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
