Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 24, 2008, OMNI Energy Services Corp. (“OMNI”) announced the completion of a $90 million Senior Bank Credit Facility (“Senior Credit Facility”) dated as of April 23, 2008 between OMNI and Fifth Third Bank, which replaces, in its entirety, OMNI’s $64 million credit facility.

The Senior Credit Facility consists of a $50 million term facility (“Term Loan”) supplemented by an additional $15 million delayed-draw term tranche available for future acquisitions and a $25 million revolving credit facility (“Revolver”). The Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $2 million beginning June 30, 2008 and a payment for the remaining balance due April 23, 2013. Principal and interest payments are due quarterly with interest accruing at the initial Term Loan rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% or the Base Rate plus 1.0% and the initial Revolver rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% or the Base Rate plus .75%, both at OMNI’s option.

The proceeds from the Senior Credit Facility were used to (i) repay the approximately $30.8 million outstanding principal balance under OMNI’s existing Term A and Capital Expenditure loans, which were part of OMNI’s previous $64 million credit facility; and (ii) close the acquisition of Industrial Lift Truck & Equipment Co., Inc. The balance of the proceeds available under the Senior Credit Facility will be used to pay fees and expenses of the aforementioned transactions and provide additional working capital.

The foregoing description of the Senior Credit Facility above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Senior Credit Facility, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
