ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT. On September 23, 2005, Movie Gallery, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement (as defined herein), among the Company, Movie Gallery Canada, Inc., Wachovia Bank, N.A., as U.S. Administrative Agent and U.S. Issuing Bank, and Congress Financial Corporation (Canada), as Canadian Administrative Agent and Canadian Issuing Bank (together with Wachovia Bank, N.A., the "Administrative Agents"). The First Amendment amends the Credit Agreement dated as of April 27, 2005 (the "Credit Agreement") among the Company, Movie Gallery Canada, Inc., and a syndicate of financial institutions, including Wachovia Capital Markets LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole book running manager, Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as syndication agent, and the Administrative Agents. The First Amendment provides for additional borrowings of $50.0 million, or an aggregate of $750.0 million, under the Term Loan B facility of the Credit Agreement and increases by $10.0 million, to $40.0 million, the letter of credit sublimit under the revolving credit facility of the Credit Agreement. The overall revolving credit facility amount will remain at $75.0 million. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the interest rate margin applicable to the Term Loan B facility increases by 0.75%, to 3.75% per annum for loans bearing interest on the adjusted Eurodollar rate and to 2.75% per annum for loans bearing interest at the applicable base rate of Wachovia Bank, N.A. Further, the First Amendment adds an additional pricing tier applicable to the Term Loan A and revolving credit facilities if the Company's leverage ratio exceeds 3.25 to 1.00 and provides for an interest rate margin of 3.50% over LIBOR and 2.50% over the base rate. The First Amendment also provides that any optional prepayment of the Term Loan B within one year of the effective date of the First Amendment will be subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium. The First Amendment also amends the Company's obligations with respect to maintaining certain financial ratios. Under the First Amendment, the Company will initially be required to maintain through the end of the Company's second fiscal quarter a maximum leverage ratio of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.05 to 1.00 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. Thereafter, the Company's maximum leverage ratio decreases, and the Company's minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and interest coverage ratio increase, in accordance with the original schedule set forth in the Credit Agreement prior to the First Amendment. If the Company's leverage ratio exceeds 2.00 to 1.00, the First Amendment requires mandatory repayments of between 50% and 100% of the Company's excess cash flow as calculated under the Credit Agreement. As a condition to obtaining the lenders' consent to the First Amendment, the Company will pay an amendment fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate total commitments of those lenders consenting to the amendment, including those lenders that provide the $50.0 million of additional commitments under the Term Loan B facility. The foregoing description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

EX-99 3 ex99.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Movie Gallery Announces Approval of Amendments to Senior Credit Facility DOTHAN, Ala., September 23, 2005 -- Movie Gallery, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOVI) today announced that it has entered into an amendment of the Company's $870.0 million senior secured credit facility with its bank group. The amendment provides for an additional $50.0 million of borrowings under the facility's Term Loan B tranche. The amendment also relaxes, for a one- year period, the required ratio levels under the financial covenants contained in the credit facility. The amendment also increases the letter of credit sublimit under the revolving credit facility from $30.0 million to $40.0 million, but does not increase the overall revolving commitment amount. Under the terms of the amendment, the interest rate on Movie Gallery's Term Loan B increases from London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3.00% to LIBOR plus 3.75% (and effecting an equivalent increase in margin under the base rate option applicable to the Term Loan B). Furthermore, an additional tier has been added to the pricing grid contained in the senior credit facility. The additional tier is applicable to the revolving loan and Term Loan A tranches of the facility and provides that if the Company's leverage ratio, defined as total debt to EBITDA (as defined under the credit agreement), exceeds 3.25 times, then the interest rate margin applicable to revolving loans and Term Loan A will be 3.50% over LIBOR (and 2.50% over the base rate). As a condition to obtaining the consent of the lenders to the foregoing amendments, Movie Gallery has agreed to pay an amendment and consent fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate total commitments of those lenders that consent to the amendments, including those lenders that provide the additional $50.0 million of borrowings under Term Loan B. The Company also agreed to provide certain additional prepayment protections to the Term Loan B lenders and to certain changes to the excess cash flow sweep contained in the existing credit agreement. As part of this amendment, the Company disclosed that it has received a notice from Mark Wattles, the founder and former CEO of Hollywood Entertainment, exercising a contractual right to require the Company to purchase 20 Hollywood Video stores currently owned by an entity controlled by Wattles pursuant to a "put" option contained in the license agreement for these stores. A portion of the funds available to Movie Gallery under the increased Term Loan B will be used to satisfy this obligation. The remainder of the additional borrowings under Term Loan B will be used for other general corporate purposes. About Movie Gallery Movie Gallery is the second largest North American video rental company with annual revenue in excess of $2.6 billion and approximately 4,800 stores located in all 50 U.S. states, Canada and Mexico. Since the Company's initial public offering in August 1994, Movie Gallery has grown from 97 stores to its present size through acquisitions and new store openings.
