Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibi
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.
