Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 8, 2005, Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings, L.P. (TER Holdings) entered into an amendment dated as of December 7, 2005 (the First Amendment) to the Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement), dated as of May 20, 2005, by and among TER Holdings, as borrower, Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. (the Company), as general partner and guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors, initial lenders, issuing bank and swing line bank named therein, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (Morgan Stanley), as collateral agent, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, UBS Securities LLC, as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch Capital and Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as documentation agents, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint book-runners.
The First Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to allow TER Holdings to consummate the sale of all of the shares of Trump Indiana, Inc. (the Riverboat Sale) to Majestic Star Casino, LLC (Majestic Star) (or a permitted assignee), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the Stock Purchase Agreement), dated as of November 3, 2005, between TER Holdings and Majestic Star. The Riverboat Sale was previously reported on the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on November 9, 2005.
In addition, the First Amendment extended the last date by which TER Holdings may draw the Term B-2 Facility from May 20, 2006 to November 20, 2006. The First Amendment also increased TER Holdings ability to make capital expenditures under the Credit Agreement, as well as modifying the first lien leverage ratio and debt leverage ratio that TER Holdings is required to maintain under the Credit Agreement.
The First Amendment is conditioned on the consummation of the Riverboat Sale and TER Holdings payment of a fee to the lenders equal to 0.10% of the $500 million aggregate principal amount of commitments under the Credit Agreement, among other terms and conditions. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the First Amendment, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement or their affiliates may provide commercial or investment banking services to the Company, TER Holdings and their subsidiaries. Morgan Stanley reportedly beneficially owned 5,120,534 shares of the Companys Common Stock as of December 7, 2005, according to a Form 4 filed with the SEC on such date. Certain other relationships between the Company and Morgan Stanley and UBS Securities LLC are described in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 26, 2005.
