Item 5. Other Events
On October 31, 2000, Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. ("Baldwin or the
"Company") entered into a $35,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility (the "Credit
Facility") with Fleet National Bank and First Union National Bank, which had an
originally scheduled maturity date of October 31, 2003. The Credit Facility was
amended and restated on January 28, 2002, and was further amended on October 30,
2002 to, among other things, change the maturity date to July 1, 2003 (the
"Amended Credit Facility"). On July 1, 2003, the maturity date was further
extended to August 1, 2003.
The outstanding balance at July 31, 2003 under the Amended Credit
Facility was approximately $16,112,000. The Amended Credit Facility has now been
further amended to extend the maturity date to August 15, 2003 in order to allow
the Company time to conclude negotiations with a potential new lender. There can
be no assurance that these negotiations will have a successful outcome. If these
negotiations do not conclude with a successful financing, and alternative
financing sources are not available, management will be required to take
additional actions to meet liquidity needs.
