Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibits
1.01
Indenture and Supplemental Indenture
On September 16, 2009, the Company entered into a base indenture dated September 16, 2009 (the "Base Indenture") and a supplemental indenture dated September 16, 2009 (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Company issued $57.5 million principal amount of its 5.5% convertible senior notes due 2014 (the "notes") under the Indenture. The notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with any existing and future unsecured senior debt, and senior to any existing and future subordinated debt. The notes bear interest at 5.5% per year, which will accrue from September 16, 2009, and will be payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2010. The notes will mature on October 1, 2014, unless earlier converted or purchased. The Company may not redeem the notes.
The notes may be converted into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), at an initial conversion rate of 196.7052 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (approximately $5.08 per share of Common Stock), subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture.
If the Company undergoes certain types of fundamental changes prior to maturity, holders of the notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to purchase some or all of their notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.
The Indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of covenants or other agreements in the Indenture; defaults in failure to pay certain other indebtedness; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes may declare the entire principal amount of and accrued interest on all the notes to be immediately due and payable.
