Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financ
Purchase Agreement
On July 9, 2009, Regal Entertainment Group (the "Company"), Regal Cinemas Corporation (the "Issuer"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain subsidiaries of the Issuer named as guarantors therein, entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as the representative (the "Representative") of the initial purchasers named on Schedule A thereto (the "Initial Purchasers"), with respect to the Issuer's issuance and sale of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's 8.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes").
The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the Initial Purchasers' discount and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $381.3 million. The Company intends to use all of the net proceeds of the offering to repay a portion of its existing credit facility.
The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer, the Company and the guarantors party thereto have agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities.
Indenture
On July 15, 2009, $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes were sold to the Initial Purchasers at a price equal to 97.561% of their face value. The Notes are to be resold by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of July 15, 2009 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Issuer named as guarantors therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 8.625% per year, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on July 15 and January 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2010. The Notes will mature on July 15, 2019.
The Notes will be the Issuer's general senior unsecured obligations and they
will: (i) rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer's existing and
future senior unsecured indebtedness; (ii) rank senior in right of payment to
all of the Issuer's existing and future subordinated indebtedness, including the
Issuer's existing 9 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2012; (iii) be
effectively subordinated to all of the Issuer's existing and future secured
indebtedness, including all borrowings under the existing credit facility, to
the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and
(iv) be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and
other liabilities of any of the Issuer's subsidiaries that is not a guarantor of
the Notes.
The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several
senior unsecured basis (the "Guarantees") by the Company and all of the Issuer's
existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its other
indebtedness (collectively, the "Guarantors"). The Guarantees will be the
Guarantors' general senior unsecured obligations and they will: (i) rank equally
in right of payment with all of the Guarantors' existing and future senior
unsecured indebtedness, including the Company's 6 ¼% convertible senior notes
due 2011; (ii) rank senior in right of payment to all of the Guarantors'
existing and future subordinated indebtedness, including the guarantees of the
Issuer's existing 9 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2012; (iii) be
effectively subordinated to all of the Guarantors' existing and future secured
indebtedness, including the guarantees under the existing credit facility, to
the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and
(iv) be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and
other liabilities of any of the Guarantors' subsidiaries that is not a guarantor
of the Notes.
Prior to July 15, 2014, the Issuer may redeem all or any part of the Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time on or after July 15, 2014 at the following redemption prices: (i) during 2014, 104.313%, (ii) during 2015, 102.875%, (iii) during 2016, 101.438% and (iv) 2017 and thereafter, 100.000%, of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, prior to July 15, 2012, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption
price of 108.625% of principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.
If the Issuer undergoes a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require the Issuer to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.
The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Issuer's (and its restricted
subsidiaries') ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional
indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of
its capital stock, purchase or redeem capital stock, or purchase, redeem or
otherwise acquire or retire certain subordinated obligations; (iii) enter into
certain transactions with affiliates; (iv) permit, directly or indirectly, it to
create, incur, or suffer to exist any lien, except in certain circumstances;
(v) create or permit encumbrances or restrictions on its ability to pay
dividends or make distributions on its capital stock, make loans or advances to
its subsidiaries (or the Issuer), or transfer any properties or assets to its
subsidiaries (or the Issuer); and (vi) merge or consolidate with other companies
or transfer all or substantially all of its assets. The Indenture also requires
any of the Issuer's subsidiaries guaranteeing certain indebtedness of the Issuer
or any Guarantor after the Notes are issued to execute a supplemental indenture
by which it guarantees payment of principal and interest on the Notes on a
senior unsecured basis. Note, however, that these covenants are subject to a
number of important limitations and exceptions. The Indenture contains other
customary terms, including, but not limited to, events of default, which, if any
of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest
and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due
and payable immediately.
