Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 23, 2009, Cardtronics, Inc. entered into an amendment to its Third Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement, which was originally entered into on May 17, 2005 (the Credit Agreement). The amendment, which represents the ninth amendment to the Credit Agreement, authorizes the repurchase of common stock by the Company in an amount not to exceed $10.0 million. Additionally, the amendment increases the amount of aggregate Investments that the Company may make into non wholly-owned Subsidiaries from $10.0 million to $20.0 million and correspondingly increases the aggregate amount of Investments that the Company may make into Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties from $25.0 million to $35.0 million. The amendment also increases the permitted maximum amount outstanding for Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement from $10.0 million to $15.0 million. Lastly, the amendment modifies the amount of permitted Capital Expenditures that may be incurred on a rolling 12-month basis as measured on a quarterly basis, as reflected in the table set forth in Section 1(e) of the amendment.
A copy of the amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On February 24, 2009, Cardtronics, Inc. issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors had approved the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $10.0 million in shares of its common stock. The share repurchase program will expire on March 31, 2010, unless extended or terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. The repurchase program will be conducted in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as well as the rules and regulations promulgated by NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. The shares will be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions at the Companys discretion. The timing and extent of any purchases will depend on a variety of factors, such as market price, overall market and economic conditions, the level of cash generated from operations, alternative investment opportunities, and regulatory considerations. The Company plans to fund repurchases made under this program from available cash balances and cash generated from operations.
