Items to be Included in this Report

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 22, 2009, Valassis Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of March 2, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto, Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders, and the bookrunners, lead arrangers, syndication agent and documentation agents parties thereto.

As a result of the Amendment, the Company will be permitted to repurchase term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement at prices below par through one or more modified Dutch auctions. The Amendment provides that the Company may use up to an aggregate amount of $125 million to effect modified Dutch auctions at any time or times during 2009 and sets forth the terms and procedures for implementing such modified Dutch auctions and term loan repurchases thereunder. The Amendment does not require the Company to make any such repurchases. There can be no assurance that the Company will conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions or that, if the Company conducts one, the Company will be able to successfully repurchase loans at a price less than their aggregate principal amount.

In connection with the Amendment, the Company agreed to voluntarily permanently reduce the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement from $120 million to $100 million in exchange for the ability to keep $20 million of revolving credit loans outstanding during any modified Dutch auction.

Under the Amendment the Company is permitted to exclude from the definition of “Consolidated Interest Expense” swap termination and cancellation costs incurred in connection with any purchase, repurchase, payment or prepayment of any loans under the Credit Agreement, including pursuant to a modified Dutch auction. The Amendment also makes certain technical and conforming changes to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

The Company paid customary fees and expenses to the Agent and the lenders in connection with the Amendment and has agreed to pay the Agent customary fees and expenses in connection with any term loan repurchases pursuant to modified Dutch auctions under the Amendment.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is summary in nature, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The press release announcing the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

“(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.2 or 4.8, with respect to mandatory prepayments and the amount of any mandatory prepayment described in Section 4.2 that is allocated to Term Loans (such amount, the “Term Loan Prepayment Amount”), the Borrower will, in lieu of applying such amount to the prepayment of Term Loans, as provided in paragraph (d) above, on the date specified in Section 4.2 for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent prepare and provide to each Tranche B Term Lender and Delayed Draw Term Lender a notice (each, a “Prepayment Option Notice”) as described below. As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each Tranche B Term Lender and Delayed Draw Term Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit E, and shall include an offer by the Borrower to prepay the relevant Term Loans of such Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Term Loan Prepayment Amount indicated in such Lender’s Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Lender’s Term Loans. Each Tranche B Term Lender and Delayed Draw Term Lender shall have 10 Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice (a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) to elect, as more fully set forth in the Prepayment Option Notice as provided by the Administrative Agent, to receive or refuse such prepayment. On the Mandatory Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Tranche B Term Lenders and Delayed Draw Term Lenders the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Term Loans in respect of which such Tranche B Term Lenders and/or Delayed Draw Term Lenders have accepted prepayment as described above, and (ii) the Borrower shall use an amount equal to the portion of the Term Loan Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant Tranche B Term Lenders and/or Delayed Draw Term Lenders to refinance or repay any Existing Valassis Indebtedness; provided, that in the event a Tranche B Term Lender or Delayed Draw Term Lender does not return a completed Prepayment Option Notice accepting or declining (as the case may be) prepayment on or prior to

(g) Section 4 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 4.16 at the end thereof:

“4.16 Term Loan Repurchase.

(a) During the period commencing on the First Amendment Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2009 (the “Repurchase Period”), the Borrower may purchase, on one or more occasions, any and all of the Tranche B Term Loans and/or the Delayed Draw Term Loans (each, a “Term Loan Repurchase”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 4.16 (the transactions described in this Section 4.16, collectively, the “Modified Dutch Auctions” and each individually, a “Modified Dutch Auction”). In connection with any Term Loan Repurchase, the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent and, upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Term Lenders and/or the Delayed Draw Term Lenders, as applicable (the “Repurchase Notice”), that the Borrower desires to purchase Tranche B Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans, as applicable, with proceeds in an aggregate amount specified by the Borrower (such amount or the proceeds necessary to repurchase such lesser amount of Term Loans as are actually offered by Lenders in such Modified Dutch Auction, each, a “Repurchase Amount”) at a discount (which is expected to be within a range to be specified by the Borrower with respect to each Term Loan Repurchase; the “Discount Range”) equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of such Tranche B Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans; provided that the par principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans desired to be repurchased by the Borrower in each Modified Dutch Auction shall be not less than $10,000,000 in the aggregate (it being understood that the par principal amount of the Term Loans actually repurchased may be less than $10,000,000 in the event that the aggregate par principal amount of Term Loans actually offered by Lenders in such Modified Dutch Auction is less than $10,000,000).

(b) In connection with a Term Loan Repurchase, the Borrower will allow each Lender of Tranche B Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans to specify a discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range for a principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Tranche B Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans, as applicable, at which such Lender is willing to permit such Term Loan Repurchase. Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of Tranche B Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans, as applicable, specified by Lenders, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will determine the applicable discount (the “Applicable Discount”) for any Term Loan Repurchase, which Applicable Discount represents the greatest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower can complete the Term Loan Repurchase for the Repurchase Amount that is within the Discount Range specified by the Borrower. The Borrower shall repurchase Tranche B Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by Lenders that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Term Loans”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to repurchase Qualifying Term Loans (disregarding any interest payable under Section 4.16(d)) would exceed the Repurchase Amount for such Term Loan Repurchase, the Borrower shall repurchase such Qualifying Term Loans at the Applicable Discount ratably based on the respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Term Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent).

(c) The aggregate Repurchase Amounts (as opposed to the par principal amount of Tranche B Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans) for all Term Loan Repurchases undertaken by the Borrower of Tranche B Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans repurchased during the Repurchase Period shall not exceed $125,000,000.

(d) At no point during the period beginning immediately prior to the launch of a Modified Dutch Auction and ending with the consummation of such Modified Dutch Auction and any Term Loan Repurchases thereunder, shall the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding exceed $20,000,000. All Tranche B Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans purchased by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.16 shall be accompanied by payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so purchased to, but not including, the date of purchase.

(e) The par principal amount of each Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loan repurchased by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.16, shall be allocated across the remaining installments of such Lender’s Tranche B Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans, as applicable, that remain outstanding, in order to ratably reduce such remaining installments.

(f) Each Term Loan Repurchase shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to timing of any issuance of a Repurchase Notice, response deadlines, rounding amounts, type and Interest Period of accepted Loans, irrevocability of any Repurchase Notice and other notices by the Borrower and Lenders and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 4.16(b) above) established by the Administrative Agent and agreed to by the Borrower.

(g) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders signatory to the First Amendment hereby consent to the transactions described in this Section 4.16 notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 4.2, 4.8, 8.8 (it being understood that the Term Loan Repurchases shall not constitute Investments under this Agreement) and 11.7) and any other Loan Document that might otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement, a Default or Event of Default as a result of or in connection with the Modified Dutch Auctions.

(h) The provisions of this Section 4.16 shall not (i) require the Borrower to undertake any Term Loan Repurchase during the Repurchase Period or (ii) limit or restrict the Borrower from making voluntary prepayments of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement as in effect prior to the First Amendment Effective Date.

(i) The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that immediately upon each Term Loan Repurchase, the Tranche B Term Loan and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan repurchased as part of such Term Loan Repurchase shall be cancelled in an amount equal to the par principal amount of such Tranche B Term Loan and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan and the parties hereto hereby agree that thereafter each such Tranche B Term Loan and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan shall not be considered to be outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower) for any purposes under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents. In addition, neither the Borrower nor any Loan Party shall be deemed to be, for any purposes whatsoever, a “Lender” hereunder or under any other Loan Document as a result of any Modified Dutch Auction or Term Loan Repurchase thereunder.”

(h) Section 8.4(g) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “if necessary and” found therein.

(i) Section 8.6(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating such Section 8.6(a) in its entirety as follows:

“(a)(i) any Subsidiary may make Restricted Payments to the Borrower or any Loan Party and (ii) any Foreign Subsidiary that is not a First Tier Foreign Subsidiary may make Restricted Payments to any other Foreign Subsidiary; provided that, a First Tier Foreign Subsidiary may make Restricted Payments to any other Foreign Subsidiary with the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.”

(j) Section 8.8 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by,

(i) inserting in the lead-in thereto “the following (each of which is exclusive and independent of the others)” immediately after “except”; and

(ii) deleting from clauses (n) and (p) thereof the phrase “in addition to Investments otherwise expressly permitted by this Section,”.

(k) Section 11.6(b)(i)(B) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new clause (w) immediately before clause (x) as follows:

“(w) an assignment to the Borrower or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, as an Assignee, as a Term Loan Repurchase pursuant to any Modified Dutch Auction,”

 

6


(l) Section 11.6(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting in the lead-in thereto the parenthetical “(other than assignments to the Borrower or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower in connection with any Modified Dutch Auction or any Term Loan Repurchase thereunder)” immediately after “Assignments”.

Valassis Amends Credit Agreement Allowing it to Repurchase Term Loans Below Par

Revolving Loan Commitment Reduced by $20 Million

Livonia, Mich., Jan. 26, 2009: Valassis (NYSE: VCI), one of the nation’s leading media and marketing services companies, announced today that it has entered into an amendment to its senior secured credit facility to, among other things, permit Valassis to use up to $125 million to repurchase its outstanding term loans under the senior secured credit facility at prices below par through one or more “modified Dutch” auctions during 2009. The amendment does not obligate Valassis to make any such repurchases. In addition, Valassis agreed to voluntarily reduce the availability under the revolving credit portion of its senior secured credit facility from $120 million to $100 million in exchange for the ability to keep $20 million of revolving loans outstanding at the time it commences any modified Dutch auction. As of Sept. 30, 2008, Valassis had $612.3 million of term loans outstanding under its credit facility. There can be no assurance that Valassis will repurchase any such loans.

The credit agreement amendment also permits Valassis to exclude from the definition of Consolidated Interest Expense swap breakage costs in connection with any repurchases or payments on outstanding loans, including pursuant to a modified Dutch auction.

“Coming on the heels of the payoff and cancellation of our 6 5/8% Senior Secured Notes that matured on Jan. 15, 2009, we believe that this credit agreement amendment will be credit enhancing and will mark the next step in our continuing efforts to deleverage our balance sheet,” said Robert L. Recchia, Valassis Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Valassis will file a copy of the credit agreement amendment on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Safe Harbor and Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements found in this document constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: price competition from the Company’s existing competitors; new competitors in any of the Company’s businesses; a shift in client preference for different promotional materials, strategies or coupon delivery methods, including, without limitation, as a result of declines in newspaper circulation; an unforeseen increase in the Company’s paper or postal costs; changes which affect the businesses of the Company’s clients and lead to reduced sales promotion spending, including, without limitation, a decrease of marketing budgets which are generally discretionary in nature and easier to reduce in the short-term than other expenses; the Company’s substantial indebtedness, and ability to refinance such indebtedness, if necessary; and its ability to incur additional indebtedness, may affect the Company’s financial health; the financial condition of the Company’s clients, suppliers or other counterparties; the adverse impact of the ongoing economic downturn on the marketing expenditures and activities of the Company’s clients and prospective clients; the Company’s ability to comply with or obtain modifications or waivers of the financial covenants contained in the Company’s debt documents; certain covenants in the Company’s debt documents could adversely restrict the Company’s financial and operating flexibility; fluctuations in the amount, timing, pages, weight and kinds of advertising pieces from period to period, due to a change in the Company’s clients’ promotional needs, inventories and other factors; the Company’s failure to attract and retain qualified personnel may affect its business and results of operations; a rise in interest rates could increase the Company’s borrowing costs; the outcome of ADVO’s pending shareholder lawsuits; possible governmental regulation


or litigation affecting aspects of the Company’s business; and general economic conditions, whether nationally or in the market areas in which the Company conducts its business, may be less favorable than expected. These and other risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business are described in greater detail in its filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and the foregoing information should be read in conjunction with these filings. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
