Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 20, 2007, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. entered into its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Comerica Bank as lead arranger, book running manager, and administrative agent. This new revolving credit facility replaces the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, which was scheduled to expire on May 1, 2007.
The new revolving credit facility provides a commitment of up to $250 million through April 20, 2012. Furthermore, the Company is permitted to request an increase of the revolving credit facility by an additional $250 million, resulting in an aggregate commitment up to $500 million, provided that no default or event of default exists.
Interest on the new revolving credit facility is payable at prime or other variable interest rate options. The Company is required to pay facility commitment fees, which are less than the commitment fees that were required under the expiring revolving credit facility.
The borrowings under the new revolving credit facility are secured by pledges of stock in certain significant subsidiaries and certain guarantees by significant subsidiaries. The subsidiaries would be required to perform under the guarantees in the event that the Company failed to make principal or interest payments under the new revolving credit facility. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are permitted to borrow under the new revolving credit facility. Any borrowings by these subsidiaries under the new revolving credit facility are guaranteed by Vishay.
Similar to the expiring revolving credit facility, the new revolving credit facility also restricts the Company from paying cash dividends and requires the Company to comply with other covenants, including the maintenance of specific financial ratios.
