Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report was filed by Actuant Corporation (not Enerpac Tool Group Corp as indicated in metadata) on February 16, 2007. The report details the entry into a material definitive agreement regarding the company's credit facilities.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The filing focuses on debt restructuring rather than operational financial performance metrics such as revenue or profit. Key debt metrics include:
- Term Loan Facility: Increased from $250.0 million to $400.0 million.
- Revolving Credit Facility: Remains at $250.0 million.
- Incremental Capacity: The agreement permits future increases in term loans and revolving commitments of up to an additional $200.0 million combined.
- Maturity Date: The entire term loan amount matures on December 22, 2009.
- Amortization: Amortization of the term loan has been eliminated.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the execution of the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Specific changes include:
- Expansion of the term loan facility by $150.0 million.
- Removal of amortization requirements for the term loan.
- Extension of the term loan maturity to December 22, 2009.
- Increased limits on the incurrence of other indebtedness.
Management Commentary and Use of Proceeds
Management utilized the proceeds from the $150.0 million increase in term loans to pay down amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and to reduce commercial paper borrowings. The filing does not provide specific guidance, outlook, or discussion of risks beyond the terms of the credit agreement amendment.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Review subsequent filings for any utilization of the new $200.0 million incremental borrowing capacity.
