Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.

 

On October 20, 2005, Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing, among other things, that it had entered into a credit agreement, dated as of October 18, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Tempur-Pedic, Inc., Tempur Production USA, Inc., Dan-Foam ApS, certain other subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International, Inc., Banc of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Nordea Bank Denmark A/S, Suntrust Bank, and Fifth Third Bank.

The Company repaid an aggregate of approximately $156,500,000 outstanding under the GE Agreement. The GE Agreement was terminated upon repayment.

 

The Credit Agreement consists of domestic and foreign credit facilities that provide for the incurrence of indebtedness up to an aggregate principal amount of $340 million. The domestic credit facility is a five-year, $200 million revolving credit facility. The foreign credit facilities consist of a $30 million revolving credit facility and $110 million delayed-draw term loan. The various credit facilities will bear interest at a rate equal to the Credit Agreement’s applicable margin, as determined in accordance with a performance pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement, plus one of the following indexes: (i) LIBOR and (ii) for U.S. dollar-denominated loans only, a base rate (defined as the higher of (a) the Bank of America prime rate and (b) the Federal Funds rate plus .50%).

amounts due under the Credit Agreement (including principal and interest) after any applicable grace periods, (ii) the breach of a representation or warranty made by the Company in the Credit Agreement or related documents, (iii) the breach of a covenant in the Credit Agreement or related documents, (iv) the Company’s failure to perform obligations with respect to other material indebtedness, (v) certain insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, (vi) the failure to pay, or comply with, certain material judgments, (vii) the Credit Agreement or any related document document becoming invalid, and (viii) certain “changes of control” with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

The Credit Agreement contains certain negative and affirmative covenants and requirements affecting the Company and its subsidiaries. Subject to certain exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Credit Agreement, these covenants include, without limitation, the following: (i) delivery of financial statements, SEC filings, compliance certificates and notices of default, material litigation, material governmental proceedings or investigations, ERISA and environmental proceedings and material changes in accounting or financial reporting practices; (ii) compliance with laws; (iii) payment of obligations; (iv) preservation of existence; (v) maintenance of books and records and inspection rights; (vi) use of proceeds; (vii) maintenance of insurance; (viii) joinder of certain subsidiaries as guarantors and pledge of collateral; (ix) limitation on liens, mergers and consolidations; (x) limitation on sale or disposition of assets; (xi) limitation on incurrence and existence of other indebtedness; (xii) limitations on investments (including loans and advances); (xiii) limitations on certain acquisitions; (xiv) limitation on transactions with affiliates and (xv) the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including Debt to EBITDA and Fixed Change Coverage ratio covenants.

 

The Credit Agreement’s proceeds will be used (i) to repay the GE Agreement, (ii) to finance up to a $170 million dividend distribution by Dan-Foam ApS, (iii) to provide credit support for the bond financing of the Company’s new plant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, (iv) for working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes, and (v) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Credit Agreement.
