Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On December 30, 2015, Forestar Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among the Company; Forestar (USA) Real Estate Group Inc., and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries signatory thereto; KeyBank National Association, as lender, swing line lender and agent; the lenders party thereto; and the other parties thereto.
The Amendment reduces the interest coverage ratio requirement from 2.50:1.0 to 2.25:1.0 for the quarters ending December 31, 2015, and March 31, 2016. Thereafter, the interest coverage ratio requirement returns to 2.50:1.0.
The Amendment also provides that the borrower may make distributions to the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000 to enable the Company to repurchase its common stock and to pay special dividends to its shareholders, such distributions to be funded from up to 65% of the net proceeds from the sales of multifamily properties and non-core assets, such as the Radisson Hotel in Austin, Texas, and any oil & gas properties. The Amendment provides the Company with flexibility to repurchase stock or pay a special dividend should its Board of Directors determine that the Company should do so, though no such decisions have been made at this time.
Some of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have or may have had customary banking relationships with the Company based on the provision of a variety of financial services, including cash management, investment banking, and equipment financing and leasing services, none of which are material individually or in the aggregate with respect to any individual party.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
