Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
On September 1, 2016 (the "Closing
Date"), Weis Markets, Inc., Dutch
Valley Food Company, LLC, Weis Transportation, LLC and
WMK Financing, Inc. (collectively, the "Company")
entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
(the "Lender"). The Credit Agreement provides for an
unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed one hundred million
dollars ($100,000,000.00), with an additional
discretionary availability of fifty million dollars
($50,000,000.00) (the "Commitment").
The material terms of the Credit
Agreement include, among others:
Maturity: The Credit
Agreement is scheduled to mature, and the commitments
thereunder will terminate, on September 1, 2019, or
earlier pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Agreement.
Payments of
Principal: No payments of outstanding principal
are due until the maturity date of the Credit
Agreement.
Letters of Credit:
The Credit Agreement can be utilized by the Company for
standby letters of credit provided, however, (A) the
aggregate amount of outstanding letter of credit
liabilities cannot at any time exceed thirty million
dollars ($30,000,000.00) and (B) the sum of any amount of
any outstanding loans under the line of credit and
outstanding letter of credit liabilities cannot at any
time exceed the Commitment. Upon termination of the
Commitment, any letter of credit then outstanding which
has been fully cash collateralized to the reasonable
satisfaction of Lender will no longer be considered a
"letter of credit" as defined in the Credit Agreement but
the letter of credit fees payable will continue to accrue
to the Lender with respect to such letter of credit until
the expiry thereof.
Interest Rate and
Fees: The loans will bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when
made until paid at the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable
margin rate of sixty-five hundredths of one percent
(0.65%). In the event that the LIBOR Rate is suspended,
the loans will bear interest at the base rate, plus the
applicable margin. The base rate will be, for any day,
the higher of (a) the rate of interest publicly announced
by the Lender from time to time at its principal office
as its prime commercial lending rate (which rate is not
necessarily the lowest rate charged by the Lender to its
borrowers) or (b) the federal funds rate, plus one-half
of one percent (0.50%). Notwithstanding anything in the
Credit Agreement to the contrary, if the base rate
determined as provided above would be less than zero
percent (0.00%) then the base rate shall be deemed to be
zero percent (0.00%). The variable rate of interest
applicable to the loans is subject to daily
change.
During the existence of any event
of default, at the election of the Lender, the loans will
bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of two percent
(2%) per annum plus the prevailing rate identified
above.
The Company will pay to the Lender
quarterly in arrears on each quarterly payment date, at
any time there shall be a reduction in the amount of the
Commitment and on the maturity date, a non-refundable
unused fee (the " Unused Fee ") (calculated on the
basis of a 365 day year and the actual days elapsed)
equal to the product of the Unused Fee Rate of one eighth
of one percent (0.125%) times the average daily
unborrowed portion of the amount of the Commitment during
the period ended on the quarterly payment date,
Commitment reduction date or maturity date.
The Company will pay to the Lender
a fee in arrears on the first quarterly payment date
occurring after the date of the issuance of the first
letter of credit and on each quarterly payment date
thereafter until the date of expiration or termination of
all letters of credit, calculated by reference to the
product of the actual daily undrawn face amount of all
issued letters of credit multiplied by a rate per annum
equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) on the basis of
a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). The
Company will also pay to the Lender all customary
issuance and other fees for issuing and processing
letters of credit and for amendments to and processing of
the letters of credit.
Voluntary Reductions and
Prepayments: Subject to certain conditions and
restrictions, the Credit Agreement allows the Company to
voluntarily reduce the amount of the revolving commitment
and to prepay loans.
Mandatory
Prepayments: If at any time the Company's
outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement
exceeds the Commitment, the Company will be required to
prepay and reduce, the outstanding principal balance by
the amount of such excess.
Covenants: The
Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative
covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the
Company's ability to: incur debt; create liens; make
investments and acquisitions; engage in certain
transactions with affiliates; consolidate or merge; sell,
lease, abandon, or otherwise transfer or dispose of
assets; enter into a management agreement or undergo a
change in control; violate environmental laws; and change
the nature of the Company's business.
In addition, the Company is
required to maintain minimum EBITDA of not less than
seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000.00). EBITDA is
defined as net income of the Company, on a consolidated
basis, plus (to the extent otherwise deducted therefrom)
interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization minus only gains or losses from asset sales
not in the ordinary course of business, non-cash
nonrecurring gain plus any non-cash non-recurring charges
to the extent included in determining net income. EBITDA
is tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter on a
trailing twelve (12) month basis.
Events of Default:
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default
such as for non-payment of obligations under the Credit
Agreement, violation of affirmative and negative
covenants, material inaccuracy of representations, cross
defaults under other material debt, bankruptcy, ERISA and
judgment defaults, invalidity of the credit documents (or
the Company's assertion of any such validity) and change
in control.

Credit Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its
