INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 1.01.
|
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
In
connection with the acquisition by GoAmerica, Inc. (the Company) of Verizons TRS division and Hands On Video Relay Services, Inc. on January 10, 2008, the Company entered into the following: (i) the Credit Agreement by
and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, the letter of credit issuers from time to time party thereto, Churchill Financial LLC, as administrative agent, and Ableco Finance LLC, as collateral agent (the
Churchill Credit Agreement), and (ii) the Second Lien Credit Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Clearlake Capital Group, L.P., as administrative agent (the Second
Lien Agreement).
On December 3 and 8, 2008, respectively, the parties to the Churchill Credit Agreement entered into a Third
Amendment and Consent to Credit Agreement, and the parties to the Second Lien Agreement entered into a Third Amendment and Consent to Second Lien Credit Agreement. The principal purposes of the amendments are to permit the Company to change its name
to Purple Communications, Inc. and similarly to change the names of its subsidiaries, and to permit the Company to repurchase up to $1 million of its outstanding common stock during the period ending December 31, 2009. The
amendments to the Credit Agreement also provide for a $2 million reduction in the Companys revolving line of credit, and for payment of a fee to the first lien lenders in an amount equal to 3% of the quarterly stock repurchases from time
to time made by the Company.
Implementation of the corporate name change is subject to receipt and effectiveness of all required
stockholder approvals, which the Company intends to obtain in the near future.
As previously reported, the
Companys board of directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $1 million of the Companys outstanding common stock, subject to receipt of requisite lender approvals. As disclosed in response to Item 1.01 above, such
lender approval has been obtained, and the Company intends to implement the repurchase program as soon as possible.
Under the Repurchase
Program, repurchases may be made from time to time by the Company in the open market or in private purchases in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines, including without limitation Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b-5. The timing and
amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Companys management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors, and may be executed in part or whole pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1(c) trading plan. The Repurchase
Program may be suspended or discontinued at anytime. It is expected that any repurchased shares will be held in treasury. The Board of Directors has established certain parameters within which purchases of shares may be made, and a limit of $1
Million on the aggregate dollar amount of the shares that may be purchased pursuant to the program between the Program start date and December 31, 2009. The repurchase program will be funded using the companys working capital.
