Item 1.01       Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On February 9, 2012, The Monarch Cement Company entered into a new credit agreement dated February 3, 2012 with its current lender, BOKF, NA dba Bank of Oklahoma, which agreement amended and restated its existing credit agreement.
 
The new agreement provides for a secured credit commitment consisting of an approximately $9.0 million term loan maturing December 31, 2014 and a $15.0 million line of credit maturing December 31, 2012. Interest rates on the Company's line of credit are variable and are based on the lender's prime rate less 0.50% with a 3.50% interest rate minimum or floor. Interest rates on the Company's term loan are variable and based on the lender's prime rate less 0.75% with a 3.00% interest rate minimum or floor.
 
The new agreement requires the Company to pledge its investment account, receivable accounts and inventory to BOKF, NA dba Bank of Oklahoma as collateral for the term loan and revolving line of credit. Withdrawal of the proceeds of the sale of any equity securities from the pledged investment account must be used to reduce the obligations of the Company to the lender. The agreement contains a financial covenant requiring the Company, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, to maintain a minimum tangible net worth before other comprehensive income of $95.0 million and a minimum tangible net worth after other comprehensive income of $85.0 million. In addition, the agreement prohibits cash outlays for business acquisitions and the purchase of the Company's capital stock and restricts cash dividends and capital expenditures in any fiscal year to a maximum of $3.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively.
 
Prior to entering into the new agreement, as of December 31, 2011 the Company owed approximately $9.0 million on its then existing term loan and approximately $4.8 million on its then existing revolving line of credit.
 
The foregoing is a summary of the new credit agreement and does not purport to be a complete summary of the agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the document attached hereto.
