Item 1.01
Entry into a Definitive Material Contract.
Loan Modification Agreement
On July 25, 2006, Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Loan Modification
Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”), thereby amending the Loan and Security Agreement
dated May 10, 2002, as previously amended through July 6, 2005 (the “Original Agreement”) between
the Company and the Bank. The Original Agreement, which provided the Company with a $40 million
revolving line of credit, has been modified effective July 6, 2006 to (a) provide the Company with a
$25 million revolving line of credit, (b) extend the maturity date on such line of credit to July
5, 2007, (c) release the collateral so that the revolving line of credit will be unsecured and (d)
amend other terms, including terms related to non-usage fees and financial covenants. No amount is
currently outstanding under the line of credit, and the Company has not drawn upon such facility
since the first quarter of 2001; however, the Company relies upon the credit facility as a
principal source of liquidity and to secure letters of credit issued on its behalf from time to
time.
Any
advances under the Original Agreement, as amended by the Loan
Modification Agreement, will bear interest at the prime rate (8.25%
at July 25, 2006) minus 1%.
A copy of the Loan Modification Agreement has been attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as
Exhibit 10.1 and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by
reference.
