Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 10, 2009, Arctic Cat Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Company”), entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) evidencing a senior secured revolving credit facility maturing on November 9, 2012 with certain financial institutions as lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as a lender and the administrative agent for the lenders, pursuant to which the Company may borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $60,000,000 from June through November and up to $35,000,000 from December through May of each year.  The Company intends to use amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement for ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

 

The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s current working capital line-of-credit and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the real and personal property of the Company and each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.  It contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and events of default.

 

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1.02  Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company repaid in full all outstanding amounts due under its Credit Agreement, dated August 29, 2008, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), as amended on March 31, 2009, June 1, 2009 and June 17, 2009 (the “Wells Fargo Credit Agreement”) that was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2010.  No penalties were incurred in connection with repaying such amounts and terminating the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement and each of Amendment No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 4, 2008, April 3, 2009, June 4, 2009 and June 19, 2009, respectively, which are each incorporated herein by reference.
