Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Centerline Holding Company (“Centerline,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and Centerline Capital Group LLC (formerly “Centerline Capital Group Inc.”) (“CCG”) entered into the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2010, with the Guarantors listed on Schedule 1 thereto; the Lenders named therein; Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), as issuing bank and as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”); Banc of America Securities, LLC and Citicorp USA, Inc., as co-lead arrangers; and Banc of America Securities, LLC as book manager (as subsequently amended, our “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning herein as ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
We had previously pledged certain cash receivables (the “Receivables”) as collateral to secure our obligations under our Credit Agreement. We inadvertently closed the Centerline accounts at BofA into which the Receivables were to be paid, which resulted in a technical default under our Credit Agreement (the “Collateral Events”). On November 21, 2012, we and CCG entered into the Third Amendment and Waiver to Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the “Third Amendment and Waiver”), which, among other things:
| · | waived any default under our Credit Agreement that may have resulted from the Collateral Events (the “Waiver”); |
| · | required us to pay certain costs and expenses incurred by BofA and the Lenders in administering the Credit Agreement; and |
| · | requires that we take certain actions by December 1, 2012 for the Waiver to continue to be effective, including, among other things: |
| o | opening new deposit accounts at BofA in the names of Bank of America, N.A. for the benefit of certain Centerline subsidiaries into which the Receivables are to be deposited (the “Specified Accounts”), and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent will agree to automatically release the Receivables from the Specified Accounts into certain other deposit accounts established solely in the name of CCG; and |
| o | taking certain additional actions to ensure that the Receivables are deposited into the Specified Accounts. |
The foregoing brief description of the terms and conditions of the Third Amendment and Waiver is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment and Waiver, which is filed as Exhibit No. 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The following is a brief description of additional material relationships between Centerline and the other parties to the Credit Agreement other than in respect of the Credit Agreement:
| 1 |
| · | Based on information contained in a Schedule 13G filed by BofA and certain of its affiliates on February 14, 2012, BofA and certain of its affiliates beneficially own 30,896,968, or approximately 8.9%, of our common shares of beneficial interest (our “Common Shares”); |
| · | BofA and certain of its affiliates are former holders of Centerline’s preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”). In connection with Centerline’s 2010 restructuring (the “Restructuring”), Centerline agreed that certain holders of Preferred Shares that agreed to the redemption of their Preferred Shares in the Restructuring would be treated no less favorably with respect to the redemption of their Preferred Shares than any holder of Preferred Shares that is redeemed subsequent to the Restructuring (“Most Favored Nation Rights”). In addition, certain former holders of Preferred Shares that agreed to the redemption of their Preferred Shares in the Restructuring were also granted anti-dilution rights (the “Anti-Dilution Rights”), which, for a specified period of time, prohibit Centerline from issuing securities if such issuance would reduce such former holders’ ownership of our Common Shares below specified percentages. BofA (Centerline believes other than its capacity as Administrative Agent) and certain of its affiliates have Most Favored Nation Rights and Anti-Dilution Rights; |
| · | Two subsidiaries of Centerline entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement with BofA on September 25, 2012, pursuant to which they may borrow up to $100,000,000 from BofA to fund the origination of eligible loans, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement; |
| · | Centerline manages certain of BofA’s and Citicorp USA Inc.’s low income housing tax credit investments; |
| · | an affiliate of Citicorp USA, Inc. is a lender and the senior agent for a credit facility, dated as of June 28, 2006, for Centerline Financial LLC, a partially owned indirect subsidiary of Centerline (Centerline Financial LLC is currently restricted from, among other things, engaging in new business and no amounts are currently borrowed under this facility); and |
| · | an affiliate of Citicorp USA, Inc. beneficially owns 15,448,575, or approximately 4.4%, of our Common Shares. |
