Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 28, 2015, Spark Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement (“Eighth Amendment”), along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Spark Networks USA, LLC, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, and the lenders thereto.  The Eighth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, originally dated February 14, 2008, to, among other things, modify certain financial covenants governing leverage ratios and capital expenditures.  

 

Under the Eighth Amendment, for each quarter ending December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA for each six month period shall not be less than $3.3 million, $3.8 million, $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively.  For the quarter ending December 31, 2015 and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, the minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA for each six month period shall not be less than $1.8 million.

 

The Eighth Amendment also imposes limitations on capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business not exceeding $3 million during each fiscal year, subject to certain exceptions; provided, that for fiscal 2015, the capital expenditure limitation shall be $3.5 million.

 

The Eighth Amendment also provides that the Minimum Contribution for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter shall not be less than $16 million.

 

The above description is only a summary of certain provisions of the Eighth Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Eighth Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
