Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 6, 2006, Oregon Steel Mills, Inc., New CF&I, Inc., CF&I Steel, L.P., and Colorado and Wyoming Railway Company (collectively, the “Company”) entered into a five-year, $175 million revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with General Electric Capital Corporation. Amounts under the Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed by the Company from time to time until the expiration of the Credit Facility on June 5, 2011. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reduction (to not lower than $50 million) under the Credit Facility are permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. In addition, the Credit Facility may be terminated at any time without fee upon proper notice and other conditions.
The interest rates and commitment fees associated with this agreement are subject to adjustment within set ranges based on average borrowing availability. The Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants and events of default (with grace periods as applicable) which are customary for an agreement of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the interest rate on all outstanding obligations may be increased and payment of all outstanding loans may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the Credit Facility will become immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate. The Credit Facility is secured by a lien on the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable and related assets.
