Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Restated Credit Facilities

 

On March 17, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Entravision Communications Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an amendment and restatement of its credit facilities (the “Restated Credit Facilities”) pursuant to an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and the other financial institutions party thereto as Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually each a “Lender”).

 

The Restated Credit Facilities described in the Restated Credit Agreement consists of a $200,000,000 senior secured Term A Facility, which was drawn in full on the Closing Date, and a $75,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the Restated Credit Agreement provides that the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the Restated Credit Facilities by an additional amount equal to $100,000,000 plus the amount that would result in the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio (as such term is used in the Restated Credit Agreement) not exceeding 2.25 to 1.0, subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions.

 

Borrowings under the Restated Credit Facilities were used on the Closing Date (a) to repay in full all of the outstanding obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the credit agreement dated as of November 30, 2017, among the Company, the Agent, and the lenders and the other parties thereto, (b) to pay fees and expenses in connection the Restated Credit Facilities, and (c) for general corporate purposes of the Company.

 

The Restated Credit Facilities are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and secured on a first priority basis by the Company’s and those subsidiaries’ assets.

 

The Company’s borrowings under the Restated Credit Facilities will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Term SOFR (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) plus a margin between 2.50% and 3.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) plus a margin between 1.50% and 2.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. The Restated Credit Facilities mature on March 17, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

The amounts outstanding under the Restated Credit Facilities may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, provided that certain limitations are observed, and subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of a Term SOFR loan. The principal amount of the Term A Facility shall be paid in installments on the dates and in the respective amounts set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement, with the final balance due on the Maturity Date.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things:

incur liens on the property or assets of the Company;
make certain investments;
incur additional indebtedness;
consummate any merger, dissolution, liquidation, consolidation or sale of substantially all assets;
dispose of certain assets;
make certain restricted payments;
make certain acquisitions;
enter into substantially different lines of business;
enter into certain transactions with affiliates;
use loan proceeds to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other prohibited purpose;
change or amend the terms of organizational documents of the Company or certain restricted subsidiaries in a materially adverse way to the lenders, or change or amend the terms of certain indebtedness;
enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
make prepayments of any subordinated indebtedness, subject to certain conditions; and

change its fiscal year, or accounting policies or reporting practices.

 

The Restated Credit Agreement also provides for certain customary events of default.

 

The foregoing summary of, and the description of the revisions to, the Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Restated Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

(Article 2, Section 2.2)
Add procedural requirements for stockholders seeking to call special meetings of stockholders, including requirements that the stockholder submit written notices to the Company: (a) requesting that the Board fix a record date and call a special meeting; and (b) setting forth any business that the stockholder desires to bring before such special meeting, as well as other relevant information.

Eliminate the provision related to reimbursement of fees and expenses paid to directors of the Company to align with the statutory reimbursement permitted by the DGCL. (formerly Article 3, Section 3.10)
Clarify the means by which vacancies on the Board may be filled. (Article 3, Section 3.4)
Modify the language that grants the Board authority to amend the Company’s Bylaws. (Article 7, Section 7.1)
