Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On and effective as of December 5, 2008, O’Charley’s Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of October 18, 2006, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, the Lenders referred to therein and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Amendment or the Credit Agreement, as the case may be.
     The Amendment changes three of the four financial covenants in the Credit Agreement: the Maximum Adjusted Debt to EBITDAR Ratio has been increased from 4.75 to 5.25 through the end of the current fiscal year, and 5.50 thereafter; the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio has been reduced from 1.30 to 1.25; and the Maximum Senior Secured Leverage Ratio has been reduced from 2.0 to 1.25. In addition, the definitions of EBITDA and EBITDAR have been amended to add back non-cash stock compensation charges.
     The Amendment also changes the Pricing Grid under the Credit Agreement used to determine the Applicable Margin with respect to any Loan. Under the Amendment, the Company will pay an initial rate of 300 basis points over LIBOR for drawn balances and 62.5 basis points for undrawn balances. Subsequent rates will depend upon the Company’s quarterly Adjusted Debt to EBITDAR Ratio.
     The Aggregate Commitment under the Credit Agreement has been reduced to $90 million from $100 million, and will be further reduced to $65 million by the end of the first quarter of 2010. The Company has agreed to use a portion of its cash flow, and the proceeds from potential sale-leaseback transactions, to reduce its drawn balances. The Company currently has a drawn balance of approximately $34 million, and approximately $13 million in letters of credit under the facility. The Amendment also eliminates the accordion feature under the Credit Agreement.
     Other effects of the Amendment on the Credit Agreement include elimination of the ability of the Company to repurchase shares of its capital stock and to make cash dividend payments; elimination of the ability of the Company to make Permitted Note Repurchases on its Senior Subordinated Debt or any other Subordinated Debt; and a limitation on Expansion Capital Expenditures to $8 million until all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans have been repaid and the Revolving Credit Facility remains undrawn for 45 days.
     The above summary of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7.01.   Regulation FD Disclosure.
     On December 5, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing its entry into the Amendment. As issued, the press release stated that under the Amendment the Company will pay an initial rate of 62.5 basis points over LIBOR for undrawn balances under the revolving credit facility. The press release should have stated that under the Amendment the Company will pay an initial rate of 62.5 basis points for undrawn balances. A copy of the revised press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
