Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Credit Agreement

On March 13, 2008, Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment and Waiver (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2007, (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, several lenders from time to time parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders (the “Agent”), the syndication agents and document agents thereto.

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the Amendment. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. We encourage you to read the complete Amendment and Credit Agreement in its entirety.

The Amendment permits the Company to make voluntary prepayments of the term loans under the Credit Agreement at a discount to their principal amounts on up to three occasions for a period of 90 days after the date of the Amendment. The Amendment does not obligate the Company to make any such prepayments. The Company is permitted to make voluntary prepayments of term loans in an aggregate amount for all such prepayments of up to $200,000,000, which shall not be less than $50,000,000 for the first voluntary prepayment. The procedure for any such prepayment will be as follows: (i) the Company will specify a range of acceptable discount percentages to the principal amount of term loans for any such voluntary prepayment (the “Acceptable Discounts”), (ii) lenders will then specify a discount to par for a principal amount of the term loans at which such lender is willing to permit the voluntary prepayment, and (iii) the Agent will determine, in consultation with the Company, the applicable discount for each voluntary prepayment, which will be the lower of the Acceptable Discounts at which the Company can complete voluntary prepayment and the highest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the range.

The Company has agreed to pay the Agent a customary fee in connection with any voluntary repurchases.

Under the Amendment, the dollar amount of the discount for any such net voluntary prepayment will reduce the amount of excess cash flow that the Company is otherwise permitted to use to make certain permitted dividend and other payments under the Credit Agreement.

The Amendment also reduces the aggregate amount of the uncommitted incremental credit facilities under the Credit Agreement from $750,000,000 to $350,000,000.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits.

 

10.1 First Amendment and Waiver, dated March 13, 2008, to the Credit Agreement, dated June 12, 2007, among Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, certain lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as Syndication Agents, and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch and Wachovia Bank, National Association as Documentation Agents.
