Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 2, 2015 , Luby’s, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Third Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 14, 2013 (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and Amegy Bank National Association, as syndication agent. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of September 1, 2017.

 

Given the Company's lowered capital expenditure plans and focus on existing unit profitability, the Amendment reduces the total commitment under the Credit Agreement to $60,000,000 and modifies certain financial covenants to provide for the Company’s capital needs.

 

The material provisions of the Amendment are summarized below:

 

●     Revised aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Commitments as of October 2, 2015 to $60,000,000.

 

●     Revised the Debt Service Coverage Ratio to not less than (i) 1.10 to 1.00 at all times during the first, second and third fiscal quarters of the Borrower’s fiscal year 2015, (ii) 1.25 to 1.00 at all times during the fourth fiscal quarter of the Borrower’s fiscal year 2015, and (iii) 1.50 to 1.00 at all times thereafter.

 

●     Revised the Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio to not more than (i) 5.75 to 1.00 at all times during the first, second and third fiscal quarters of the Borrower’s fiscal year 2015, (ii) 5.50 to 1.00 at all times during the fourth fiscal quarter of the Borrower’s fiscal year 2015, (iii) 5.25 to 1.00 at all times during the first fiscal quarter of the Borrower’s fiscal year 2016, (iv) 5.00 to 1.00 at all times during the second fiscal quarter of the Borrower’s fiscal year 2016, and (v) 4.75 to 1.00 at all times thereafter.
