Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 24, 2006, Catalina Marketing Corporation amended its August 2004 Credit Facility into a five-year, $175.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility with J. P. Morgan Securities Inc. as sole lead arranger, Bank of America N.A. serving as the syndication agent, Sun Trust Bank and Comerica Bank serving as documentation agents and JP Morgan Chase, National Association serving as the administrative agent. Under certain conditions, the Company may increase the revolving credit line up to $275.0 million. The facility is unsecured and may be used for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, refinancing existing debt, share repurchases and capital expenditures.

The Credit Facility also provides, within the maximum commitment, up to the U.S. Dollar equivalent of $50.0 million in available borrowings in Japanese Yen by Catalina Marketing Japan K.K., $25.0 million for U.S. dollar-only commercial and standby letters of credit, and a maximum U.S. dollar-only “Swing Line” (i.e., an overnight facility), as that term is defined in the agreement, of $10.0 million.

The interest rate on advances under the Credit Facility is based on (a) the greater of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one-half percent or, (b) the Eurocurrency Base Rate, as those terms are defined in the Credit Facility. A percentage margin, ranging from 0.45% to 1.125% and determined based upon our Leverage Ratio, as that ratio is defined in the Credit Facility, is added to the Eurocurrency Base Rate.

The Company will pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.225% of the unused portion of the Credit Facility and determined based upon our Leverage Ratio, as that ratio is defined in the Credit Facility. Usual and customary fees are payable for letters of credit that are issued under the agreement. The Company may, at its option, reduce the maximum commitment amount of the Credit Facility and generally may prepay any amounts outstanding without penalty. The Credit Facility is unsecured, with a negative pledge on all material assets, and is guaranteed by all material U.S. subsidiaries of the Company.
