ITEM 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 14, 2007, Builders FirstSource, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new $350 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) jointly arranged by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and UBS Investment Bank with a consortium of banks led by Wachovia Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent. Also participating in the Facility was General Electric Capital Corporation.
The Facility provides for a $350 million revolving credit line which is available for working capital and general corporate purposes. The available borrowing capacity, or borrowing base, is derived primarily from a percentage of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined by the agreement. Direct borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a margin over the base rate or Eurodollar rate. Loans are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, primarily accounts receivable and inventory, and are guaranteed by the Company and certain of our subsidiaries.
The Facility, which is scheduled to mature approximately five years from the execution of the agreement, replaces our existing $110 million long-term revolver, which was scheduled to mature in February 2010, and our $15 million pre-funded letter of credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in August 2011.
The foregoing summary of the Facility is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions set forth in the Facility, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1. The Credit Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.
