Effective December 14, 2012, in connection with entry into the new Credit Agreement described below in Item 2.03, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) existing credit facility dated May 6, 2011 was terminated.  In connection with termination, the Company paid off approximately $122 million in outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and fees under such facility.

On December 14, 2012, the Company replaced its existing credit facility with a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company; Red Robin International, Inc., as the borrower; the domestic subsidiaries of the borrower from time to time parties thereto; the lender parties thereto; Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent; Bank of America, N.A. as Syndication Agent; BBVA Compass and U.S. Bank National Association as Documentation Agents; Rabobank International as Senior Managing Agent; and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as Co-Lead Arrangers and Co-Bookrunners.  The Credit Agreement provides for a $225 million revolving line of credit and maintains the option to increase the credit facility in the future, subject to lenders’ participation, by up to an additional $100 million in the aggregate.

 

Red Robin International, Inc. is the borrower under the Credit Agreement, and certain of its subsidiaries and the Company are guarantors of borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrower and the guarantors, including the Company, and are available to: (i) refinance certain existing indebtedness of the borrower and its subsidiaries, (ii) finance restaurant construction costs, (iii) pay costs, fees and expenses in connection with such new restaurant construction, (iv) pay any fees and expenses in connection with the Credit Agreement, and (v) provide for the working capital and general corporate requirements of the Company, the borrower and its subsidiaries, including permitted acquisitions and the redemption of capital stock.

 

On December 14, 2012, Red Robin International, Inc., the Company and the guarantors also entered into a Security Agreement granting to Wells Fargo Bank a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrower and the guarantors to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the notes issued in connection therewith.
