Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: April 20, 2012
Event: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement regarding the expansion of its credit facility.
Key Financial Metrics
This filing reports on a specific financing transaction rather than periodic financial performance. Key metrics disclosed include:
- Aggregate Principal Amount Available: $458,450,000 (post-expansion).
- Commitment Increase: $50,950,000.
- Source of Increase: $40,950,000 from existing lenders; $10,000,000 from a new lender (Israel Discount Bank of New York).
- Remaining Accordion Capacity: Up to $91,550,000 available for future increases.
- Revenue, Profit, Cash Flow, Margins: The filing text does not provide a clear value for these operational metrics.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the amendment of the Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., and its syndicate of lenders. The company exercised a portion of the accordion loan feature, increasing total lender commitments by approximately $51 million. Additionally, the Credit Agreement was amended to clarify the definition of "positive operating income."
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Use of Proceeds: The increased commitments will support general corporate purposes, specifically financing future purchases of consumer debt portfolios and further business expansion domestically and internationally.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing notes that the summary does not constitute a complete summary of the Credit Agreement terms and refers investors to the full agreement filed previously (Exhibit 10.1 to the December 22, 2010 Form 8-K).
