Form 8-K/A for VULCAN MATERIALS CO


24-Nov-2008

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibi


Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
a. Credit Agreements

On November 17, 2008, Vulcan Materials Company ("Vulcan", "we" or "us") entered into a revolving 364-Day Credit Agreement (the "364-Day Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"), and the other Lenders party thereto (the "Lenders").
The 364-Day Credit Facility is senior unsecured debt of Vulcan. The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary representations, affirmative and negative covenants (including limitations on liens, and a maximum consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio of 0.65 to 1.00) and events of default usual for credit facilities of the type. The 364-Day Credit Facility matures on November 16, 2009.
Proceeds of the 364-Day Credit Facility will be used (i) to refinance all indebtedness outstanding under and replace the existing 364-Day Credit Agreement dated November 16, 2007 between Vulcan (formerly known as Virginia Holdco, Inc.) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and various other lenders thereto, and (ii) for general corporate purposes.
At Vulcan's option, any loan under the 364-Day Credit Agreement (other than Competitive Bid Loans) will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin (defined as the Credit Default Swap Spread, subject to minimum and maximum levels based on reference to a ratings-based pricing grid), or
(ii) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Base Rate for any day is equal to the highest of (i) the Bank of America prime rate for such day, (ii) the Federal Fund Rate for such day plus .50%, and (iii) except during a Eurodollar Unavailability Period, the one month LIBOR, in each case plus the Applicable Margin, plus the Market Disruption Spread (defined as 1.50% per annum), if any. Certain of the Lenders and their affiliates have provided, from time to time, and may continue to provide, investment banking, commercial banking, financial and other services to us, including letters of credit, depository and account processing services, for which we have paid and intend to pay customary fees, and our pension fund also invests in funds managed by the Lenders or affiliates of the Lenders. Certain of the Lenders were parties to our prior credit agreements. Banc of America Securities LLC, an affiliate of Bank of America, N.A., a Lender, is a dealer with respect to our commercial paper program. To hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates, we have from time to time entered into transactions involving derivative instruments, such as forward starting swaps, with Bank of America, National Association, a Lender. The foregoing description of the 364-Day Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 364-Day Credit Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 to this Report and is incorporated in this Report by reference.
