Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     As described below in Item 2.01, on May 31, 2005 Entertainment Distribution Company (USA), LLC (“EDC USA”) and Blitz 05-107 GmbH (“EDC Germany”), each of which is an indirect subsidiary of Glenayre Technologies, Inc. (“Glenayre”), closed the transactions under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement dated May 9, 2005 to which they are party with certain subsidiaries of Universal Music Group (“Universal Music”). Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, EDC USA acquired the assets comprising the United States portion of Universal Music’s CD and DVD manufacturing and distribution operations. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, EDC Germany acquired all of the outstanding shares of Universal Music’s Germany subsidiary that operated the central European portion of Universal Music’s CD and DVD manufacturing and distribution operations.

     In connection with the closing of the transaction, certain of Glenayre’s subsidiaries, including Glenayre Electronics, Inc. (“GEI”) and Entertainment Distribution Company, LLC (“EDC”), entered into the following material definitive agreements.

Credit Agreement and Cash Collateral Agreement

     To fund a portion of the purchase price payable at the closing of the acquisition and provide for working capital needs, on May 31, 2005 EDC and EDC USA entered into a Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association providing for a credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $56.5 million consisting of a term facility of $46.5 million repayable over five years, and a revolving credit facility of $10.0 million. In connection with the Credit Agreement, EDC and EDC USA entered into a Security Agreement and certain mortgage instruments under which they pledged their assets to secure the loans under the credit facility.

     The principal amount of the term loan is required to be repaid in six installments as follows:

               
 
  Payment Date     Amortization Payment  
 
December 31, 2005
    $ 5,000,000    
 
June 30, 2006
    $ 6,500,000    
 
June 30, 2007
    $ 8,000,000    
 
June 30, 2008
    $ 9,000,000    
 
June 30, 2009
    $ 9,000,000    
 
May 31, 2010
    $ 9,000,000    
 

     The term loan and revolving loans under the credit facility may at EDC’s option consist of “alternate base rate loans” or “LIBOR rate loans.” Alternate base rate loans bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (1) the Prime Rate (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) and (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1/2 of 1%, plus in either case a margin that ranges from 1% to 2% depending on the amount of EDC’s leverage ratio determined by dividing Funded Debt by Consolidated

1


 

EBITDA (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). LIBOR rate loans bear interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin that ranges from 1% to 3% depending on the amount of EDC’s leverage ratio determined by dividing Funded Debt by Consolidated EBITDA (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement).

     The credit facility contains standard representations, covenants and events of default for facilities of this type. Occurrence of an event of default allows the lenders to accelerate the payment of the loans and/or terminate the commitments to lend, in addition to other legal remedies, including foreclosing on collateral.

     GEI is party to the Credit Agreement solely for the purpose of agreeing to certain negative covenants. Under these covenants, GEI is restricted from paying cash dividends or from consummating any acquisition outside of GEI’s existing lines of business consisting of the messaging business and EDC’s manufacturing and distribution business on or before June 30, 2006. Glenayre is not guaranteeing the loans under the Credit Agreement. However, in connection with the Credit Agreement, GEI entered into a Pledge Agreement and a Cash Collateral Agreement with the lender. Under the Pledge Agreement, GEI pledged all of its equity interest in EDC to the lender to secure the loans under the credit facility. Under the Cash Collateral Agreement GEI cash collateralized $16.5 million of the credit facility by depositing cash in the same amount with the lender. Under the terms of the Cash Collateral Agreement, $8.25 million of this deposit will be released on June 30, 2006, if EDC meets certain financial milestones, and the entire deposit will be released on June 30, 2007 so long as at such time no event of default exists under the Credit Agreement.

     Copies of the Credit Agreement and the Cash Collateral Agreement are filed with this report as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are hereby incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and the Cash Collateral Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements.

Limited Liability Company Agreement of EDC

     EDC was initially capitalized with a $35 million equity capital contribution from GEI. Following the closing, it is contemplated that members of EDC management will purchase $772,000 of Glenayre’s equity interest in EDC. It is therefore anticipated that GEI will own approximately 98% of EDC’s outstanding Units. In addition, certain Profits Interests were issued at closing to EDC management, Universal Music and the Company’s financial advisor that will entitle these parties to up to thirty percent of EDC’s profits, after GEI has received a return of its equity capital contribution and certain internal rate of return hurdles and other conditions have been met.

     The rights and obligations of the members of EDC (including the right to distributions and to share in EDC’s net income and net losses) are specified in the Limited Liability Company Agreement of EDC entered into on May 31, 2005 among EDC and its members. A copy of the Limited Liability Company Agreement is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.3 and is hereby incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Limited Liability Company

EDC is leasing all of the facilities with the exception of the manufacturing facility in Grover, North Carolina, which it owns. Glenayre estimates that revenue and cash flow for 2004, excluding capital expenditures, for the acquired operations would have been approximately $290 million and $29 million, respectively, based on the terms of the manufacturing and distribution agreements (excluding rebate payments) entered into with Universal Music in connection with the transaction and the actual costs and volumes for the period.

     The acquired business will be operated by Entertainment Distribution Company, LLC (“EDC”) as a separate division of Glenayre.
