Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Company’s $280 million senior secured revolving credit agreement in June 2004, the Company amended the agreements governing its lockbox activities on November 19, 2004. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the terms of the new agreements resulted in the reclassification of all debt outstanding under the $280 million senior secured revolving credit agreement from a current liability to a non-current obligation effective as of November 19, 2004. The amount outstanding under the credit facility as of November 19, 2004 was approximately $116.9 million. The amount outstanding under the credit facility as of August 27, 2004 was approximately $98.3 million. (See note 12 to the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended August 27, 2004.) As a result of these agreements and the resulting debt reclassification, certain of the Company’s financial ratios, including but not limited to the current ratio, in future periods may not necessarily be comparable to prior periods.

 

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. Furthermore, the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
