Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On April 29, 2005, Dynacq Healthcare, Inc. executed a letter amendment to its Reducing Revolver Loan and Security Agreement and related guarantee agreements (collectively, the “Agreement”). Dynacq and the lender, Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services Inc., amended the Agreement to set the maturity date of the obligations under the Agreement at May 31, 2005. The press release dated April 29, 2005, announcing the amendment is attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

As of the close of business on April 29, 2005, approximately $5.6 million, which includes accrued interest, remains outstanding under the Agreement. Dynacq intends to refinance or repay such amounts prior to the maturity date. If Dynacq is unable to repay all outstanding balances by the maturity date, the lender may assess a late charge in the amount of 5% of the then outstanding obligations, immediately initiate legal proceedings, and proceed against Dynacq’s assets to satisfy its obligations under the Agreement. Dynacq’s obligations under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of its assets.
