Section 1. Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
Payoff and Termination of Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated April 30, 2007
On October 31, 2008, Handleman Company (“Handleman”) paid off and terminated the Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated April 30, 2007 among Handleman Company and certain of it subsidiaries as Guarantors, Handleman Entertainment Resources L.L.C. and certain other domestic subsidiaries of Handleman Company as Borrowers, various lenders, Silver Point Finance, LLC, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Co-Lead Arranger. Handleman remitted to Silver Point fees related to the payoff and termination of $987,616.61.
Handleman believes that cash provided from operations and the sale of assets will provide sufficient liquidity to fund the Company’s, which include any remaining businesses, day-to-day operations provided that the Company is able to sell its remaining assets within a reasonable period of time. If the Company is unable to sell its assets in a reasonable period of time, or if the Company receives substantially less than anticipated, the Company’s liquidity would be dependent upon securing alternative funding. If these actions are unsuccessful, then the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern would be in doubt.
Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, which are not historical facts. These statements involve risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results, events and performance could differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements because of factors affecting any of a number of critical objectives, including, without limitation, maintaining sufficient liquidity to fund our day-to-day operations, retaining key personnel, satisfactory resolution of any outstanding claims or claims which may arise, selling certain of the Company’s assets in a timely manner and for amounts reasonably consistent with the Company’s valuation of those assets, operating in this turbulent financial market, and other factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Handleman Company notes that the preceding conditions are not a complete list of risks and uncertainties. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 8-K.
