Effective November 5, 2008, Westell Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) voluntarily terminated the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2006, among the Company, Westell, Inc., Teltrend, LLC, ConferencePlus, Inc., and LaSalle Bank National Association, as lender and as the administrative agent, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). As of the termination date, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

 

The Credit Agreement was a three-year revolving credit facility in an amount up to $25 million. In addition, the Credit Agreement contained financial covenants including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth test, a total leverage ratio test, and a limitation on capital expenditures for any fiscal year, as well as other non-financial covenants. The Company was not in compliance with certain of these covenants based on its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The Company and the lender were unable to come to mutually acceptable terms to replace the facility. Accordingly, the Company notified the lenders on November 5, 2008 that it was cancelling the Credit Agreement. The Company intends to put a new credit facility in place if and when more favorable credit terms are available. The Company does not anticipate using a credit facility to meet short-term or long-term liquidity needs.

 

There were no material relationships between the Company or its affiliates and the lender, other than in respect of the Credit Agreement. No termination fees will be incurred in connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement.
