Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
August 12, 2009, Champion Home Builders Co. (“Champion Homes”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Champion Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company and certain additional subsidiaries of the
Company entered into a Sixth Amendment and Waiver to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“Sixth Amendment”) with certain financial institutions and other parties thereto as lenders (the
“Lenders”) and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch (“Credit Suisse”), as Administrative Agent,
which modifies the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2006, as amended,
among Champion Homes, the Company, the Lenders and Credit Suisse, as Administrative Agent (the
“Credit Agreement”).
The Sixth Amendment provides, among other things, for an initial 30-day waiver of certain covenants
through September 11, 2009. During the period of the waiver, the Credit Agreement debt is subject
to an additional 2% per annum of interest, payable in kind.
Other than the Credit Agreement, as amended, there are no material relationships between Credit
Suisse or the Lenders and the Company or any of their respective affiliates, other than as follows:
(i) the Company and its affiliates may have customary banking relationships with one or more of the
Lenders and (ii) affiliates of Credit Suisse have in the past provided investment banking and
investment banking-related services to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and these
entities may continue to do so in the future.
The foregoing description of the Sixth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Sixth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein
by reference.
