Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 28, 2009, Emmis Communications Corporation (the "Company") commenced a Dutch auction tender to purchase term loans of Emmis Operating Company (the "Borrower") under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2006 by and among the Borrower, the Company, the financial institutions identified therein from time to time as lenders, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as syndication agent, General Electric Capital Corporation, Coφperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., "Rabobank Nederland", New York Branch, and SunTrust Bank, as co-documentation agents, and Banc of America Securities LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, as amended by that certain First Amendment and Consent to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated March 3, 2009 (the "Credit Agreement"). The Company offered up to $7.0 million to purchase the term loans at a discount of 55%-62.5% of the face amount of the loans. Pursuant to the tender, the Company purchased $9.4 million in face amount of the Borrower's outstanding term loans for $5.8 million on May 1, 2009. The $9.4 million in purchased term loans was simultaneously cancelled and forgiven.
The cumulative effect of all of the debt tenders under the Credit Agreement is that the Company purchased $78.5 million in face amount of the Borrower's outstanding term loans for $44.7 million. The Credit Agreement permitted the Company to pay up to $50 million (less amounts paid after February 1, 2009 under our previously disclosed TV Bonus Program) to purchase the Borrower's outstanding term loans through tender offers and required a minimum offer of $5 million per tender. Since the Company paid $44.7 million in debt tenders and paid $4.1 million under the TV Bonus Program in March 2009, we are no longer permitted to effect further tenders under the Credit Agreement.
