Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 4, 2013, DineEquity, Inc. (the "Corporation"), a Delaware corporation, entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") to the Credit Agreement among the Corporation, as Borrower, each lender from time to time party thereto, Barclays Bank PLC, as Administrative Agent, and the other agents named therein.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the interest rate margin for term loans was reduced from 2.00% to 1.75% for Base Rate Loans and from 3.00% to 2.75% for Eurodollar Rate Loans. The interest rate margin for revolving loans was reduced from 3.50% to 1.75% for Base Rate Loans and from 4.50% to 2.75% for Eurodollar Rate Loans. The interest rate floors used to determine the Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate reference rates for term loans were reduced from 2.25% to 2.00% for Base Rate denominated term loans and from 1.25% to 1.00% for Eurodollar based term loans. The interest rate floors for revolving loans were eliminated. The commitment fee for the unused portion of the revolving credit facility was reduced from 0.75% to 0.50% and, if the consolidated leverage ratio is reduced below 4.75x, from 0.50% to 0.375%.

The Amendment revised the definition of excess cash flow to eliminate the deduction for any extraordinary receipts or disposition proceeds. In addition, the Amendment establishes the following consolidated leverage ratio thresholds for excess cash flow prepayments: 50% if the consolidated leverage ratio is 5.75x or greater; 25% if the consolidated leverage ratio is less than 5.75x and greater than or equal to 5.25x; and 0% if the consolidated leverage ratio is less than 5.25x. Consolidated leverage ratio is defined in the Corporation's Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Corporation's mandatory repayment of 1% per year is now based on the outstanding principal balance of $472 million as of December 31, 2012, as compared to the previous outstanding balance of $742 million. Finally, the Amendment revised the definition of "Permitted Amount" so that it is measured on a quarterly basis for purposes of computing allowable restricted payments by the Corporation. All other material provisions, including maturity and covenants under the Credit Agreement, remain unchanged.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full and complete terms of the Amendment that is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

On February 5, 2013, the Corporation issued a press release announcing the above-referenced re-pricing of its senior secured term loan facility and the increase in its senior secured revolving credit facility. A copy of this press release is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1.
