Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the closing of the transactions described under Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K, Fisher Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to that certain credit agreement dated November 19, 2012, by and between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Lender and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). For a description of the terms of the First Amendment, see Item 8.01 below.

Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 3, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Fisher Broadcasting – Oregon TV, L.L.C. (“Fisher Broadcasting”), completed the previously announced acquisition of assets of the television station KMTR(TV), together with certain related satellite stations (collectively, the “Station”), which serve the Eugene, Oregon Nielsen Designated Market Area, for a total purchase price of $8.5 million from Newport Television LLC and Newport Television License LLC (together “Newport”). Concurrent with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 19, 2012, by and between the Fisher Broadcasting and Newport, Fisher Broadcasting assigned to Roberts Media, LLC, an unrelated third party (“Roberts Media”), its rights under the Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire the FCC licenses with respect to the Station together with certain other of the Station’s operating and programming assets. Such assets are held by KMTR Television, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Roberts Media (“KMTR Television”).

Also as previously announced, concurrently with the completion of the acquisition of the Station, KMTR Television obtained third-party financing for its acquisition of the Station assets, in an amount of approximately $1.7 million (the “KMTR Credit Facility”). The Company has agreed to guarantee (the “Guarantee”) the KMTR Credit Facility to finance its portion of the acquisition.

In connection with the KMTR Credit Facility, the Company entered into the First Amendment. The First Amendment (as reflected in Annex I to the First Amendment) provides, among other things, that (i) a default under the KMTR Credit Facility (including a default by the Company under the Guarantee) will constitute a default under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) that the collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement will constitute collateral to secure the obligations under the KMTR Credit Facility.
