Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 17, 2005, Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc. (the
"Company") entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the "Credit
Facility"), which includes a $10.0 million term loan and a revolving credit line
of $15.0 million, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Third Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2005 (the "Credit Agreement"),
by and between Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc. and PNC Bank, National
Association. The Credit Facility amends and restates the Company's credit
facility entered into on January 30, 1998, which was scheduled to mature in
December 2005.
The Credit Facility matures in June 2011 and is collateralized by
substantially all assets of the Company. The interest rate on borrowings under
the Credit Facility is based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rates) and is
subject to adjustment based upon the Company's maintenance of certain financial
ratios. A quarterly nonrefundable commitment fee is payable based upon the
amount outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants
for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company with
respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions,
dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement
also provides for customary events of default, including failure to pay
principal, interest or fees when due, failure to pay other indebtedness, failure
to comply with covenants, the fact that any representation or warranty made by
the Company is untrue or incorrect in any material respect, commencement of
certain insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company and occurrence
of a change in control of the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of
default, the commitments of the lender may be terminated, and all outstanding
obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility may be declared immediately
due and payable.
The foregoing is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the
Credit Agreement and not a complete discussion of the document. Accordingly, the
foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Credit Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for its quarter ending June 30, 2005.
On June 24, 2005, the Company issued a press release regarding the Credit
Facility. A copy of the press release is attached hereto.
