Section 1 Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 30, 2011, CryoLife, Inc. (the “Company” or “CryoLife”) and certain of its subsidiaries amended CryoLife’s Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), as lender, letter of credit issuer, and agent for all lenders. The amendment extends the term of the Credit Facility from August 31, 2011 to October 31, 2011. The amendment also extends the deadline set forth in the proviso to the waiver under Section C of the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Facility, dated June 30, 2011, for the dissolution of CGCP Corp., a Delaware corporation and Compleat, Inc., a California corporation until September 30, 2011, or such later date to which GECC shall agree in writing. Additionally, with respect to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 only, the amendment reduces from $20,000,000 to $16,500,000 the minimum adjusted EBITDA requirement, as defined within the agreement. The EBITDA requirement for each fiscal quarter thereafter shall remain unchanged at $20,000,000.
As of August 31, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Company has a $157,000 letter of credit from GE under the Credit Facility. The other material terms of the Credit Facility remain unchanged. A description of these terms, incorporated herein by reference, is contained in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed March 27, 2008, January 14, 2010, June 3, 2010, March 8, 2011, and July 7, 2011.
