Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 8, 2006, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lamar Advertising Company, (the “Borrower”) entered into a Series A Incremental Loan Agreement (the “Incremental Loan Agreement”) with Lamar Media Corp., the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wachovia Bank, National Association, SunTrust Bank, Inc., BNP Paribas, and Calyon New York Branch (collectively, the “Series A Incremental Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Series A Incremental Lenders (“JPMorgan”). The Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Series A Incremental Lenders and JPMorgan are parties to the Credit Agreement by and among Lamar Media Corp., the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein, the Subsidiary Borrower named therein, the Lenders named therein, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”), which was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission by both Lamar Advertising Company and Lamar Media Corp. on a Current Report on Form 8-K that was dated and filed on September 30, 2005.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, which includes an uncommitted $500 million incremental loan facility, Lamar Media Corp. has the ability to designate a wholly owned subsidiary as a subsidiary borrower under the incremental loan facility that can borrow up to $50 million of the incremental facility on or before March 31, 2006. The Incremental Loan Agreement designates the Borrower as the “Subsidiary Borrower” under the Credit Agreement and provides for loan commitments by the Series A Incremental Lenders of $37 million in aggregate principal amount of Incremental Loans in a single series of term loans to be designated the “Series A Incremental Loans.” In connection with the execution of the Incremental Loan Agreement, the uncommitted incremental loan facility in the Credit Agreement was reduced by the amount of the Series A Incremental Loans to $463 million. The Borrower has not received any funds under the Series A Incremental Loans as of the date hereof.
Reductions in commitments; amortization
Any outstanding Series A Incremental Loans will begin amortizing in quarterly installments paid on each December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 as follows:
         
Principal Payment Date   Principal Amount
 
December 31, 2007— September 30, 2009
  $ 462,500  
December 31, 2009— September 30, 2011
  $ 1,387,500  
December 31, 2011— September 30, 2012
  $ 5,550,000  
 
The Series A Incremental Loans will mature September 30, 2012.

 


 

Interest
Interest on borrowings under the Incremental Loan Agreement is calculated, at the Borrower’s option, at a base rate equal to either of the following plus the applicable spread above such base rate:
     • with respect to base rate borrowings, the “Adjusted Base Rate” which is equal to the higher of: the rate publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime lending rate and the applicable federal funds rate, plus 0.5%; or
     • with respect to eurodollar rate borrowings, the rate at which eurodollar deposits for one, two, three or six months (as selected by us), or nine or twelve months with the consent of the lenders, are quoted on the Dow Jones Telerate Screen multiplied by the statutory reserve rate (determined based on maximum reserve percentages established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America).
The spread applicable to borrowings under the Incremental Loan Agreement is determined by reference to our trailing leverage ratio as follows.
         
         
  Base Rate Series A   Eurodollar Series A
Range of Total Debt Ratio   Incremental Loans   Incremental Loans
 
 
       
Greater than or equal to 5.00 to 1
  0.250%   1.250%
 
       
Less than 5.00 to 1 and greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1
  0.000%   1.000%
 
       
Less than 3.00 to 1 and greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1
  0.000%   0.875%
