ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On December 30, 2011, TESSCO Technologies Incorporated (the "Company") and its primary operating subsidiaries, as borrowers, entered into a Sixth Modification Agreement (the "Sixth Amendment"), with SunTrust Bank and Wachovia Bank, National Association, amending the Credit Agreement for the Company's existing $35.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
Pursuant to Sixth Amendment: the term of the credit facility is extended from May 12, 2012 to May 12, 2013; certain interest rate margins and unused facility fee percentages have been adjusted; the amount of dividend payments allowed to be made by the Company under the Credit Facility was increased from $5.0 million to $6.25 million in any 12 month period, and the dollar amount of stock repurchases permitted under the term of the credit facility was increased to $30 million, in each case assuming continued compliance by the Company with the otherwise applicable terms of the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Tangible Net Worth Covenant was modified and the Company agreed to provide certain financial information to the lenders in fewer days after the close of the applicable period than had previously been provided. The discussion of the Sixth Modification as set forth in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms and provisions of the Sixth Modification, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated fully herein by this reference.
Pursuant to the relevant documents, the financial covenants included in the Credit Agreement for the unsecured revolving credit facility are also applicable to the Company's existing Term Loan with the same lenders. Accordingly, the Sixth Modification Agreement also has the effect of amending the financial covenants applicable to the Term Loan.
