Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 3, 2009, A. H. Belo Corporation entered into the Second Amendment to its Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 30, 2009, as amended by that certain First Amendment
to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 18, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”),with
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Capital One, N.A. (the “Lenders”). Among other matters, the
Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement extends the maturity date of the credit facility from April 30, 2011 to September 30,
2012, reduces the total commitment amount to $25 million, and
releases a certain amount of real property securing the facility. The
amended facility remains subject to a borrowing base. If borrowing
capacity under the amended credit facility becomes less than
$17.5 million, then a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of
1:1 will apply. The
Second Amendment also makes certain minor administrative amendments to
the Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of
January 30, 2009 (the “Security Agreement”).
The
Credit Agreement and Security Agreement as initially adopted are
Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the Company’s Current
Report on Form 8-K filed February 2, 2009, and the First
Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated August 18, 2009 is
Exhibit 10.1(5) to the Company’s Form 10-Q filed
November 13, 2009. The full text of the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit
10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release announcing the
entry into this Credit Facility amendment is posted on the Company’s Web site (www.ahbelo.com) in
the Investor Relations section, and a copy of the press release is furnished with this report as
