Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement; Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On August 7, 2008, IAC/InterActiveCorp (IAC) and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as trustee (the Trustee), executed a supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture) to the indenture, dated as of December 16, 2002 (the Indenture), pursuant to which IACs 7% Senior Notes due 2013 (the 7% Notes) were issued, in order to effect certain amendments (the Amendments) to the Indenture. When effective pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Indenture, the Amendments will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions, eliminate certain provisions relating to mergers and consolidations of and transfers of assets by IAC and make certain conforming and related changes to the Indenture and the 7% Notes. The description contained herein is not a complete description of the Supplemental Indenture and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, a copy which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Since January 2008, Doug Lebda has served as President and Chief Operating Officer of IAC, as well as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LendingTree, which consists of the businesses operating within IACs Lending and Real Estate reporting segments (Tree.com). Mr. Lebdas employment agreement provides that he shall continue to serve as President and Chief Operating Officer of IAC on a transitional basis until the earlier of the spin-off of Tree.com by IAC or such date as is determined by IACs Chief Executive Officer. Given the recent effectiveness of Tree.coms registration statement on Form S-1 and the related approval of the listing of Tree.coms common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, Mr. Lebdas tenure as President and Chief Operating Officer on a transitional basis ceased on August 11, 2008.
Item 8.01 Other Events. |
On August 11, 2008, IAC extended the expiration of its previously announced cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding 7% Notes (the Tender Offer). IAC issued a press release announcing the extension, which appears in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
As previously announced, on July 17, 2008, IAC and its subsidiary Interval Acquisition Corp. ("Interval") entered into a Notes Exchange and Consent Agreement (the "Notes Exchange Agreement") with certain institutional holders (the "Noteholders") of the 7% Notes unaffiliated with IAC that hold in excess of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 7% Notes. Under the Notes Exchange Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of the Notes Exchange Agreement, IAC agreed to exchange (the "Exchange") $300 million in aggregate principal amount of new 9.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the "Interval Senior Notes") to be issued by Interval to IAC for a portion of the 7% Notes held by certain of the Noteholders (the
Exchanging Noteholders). The Interval Senior Notes will be issued prior to the pending spinoff (the "Interval Spin-Off") from IAC of Interval Leisure Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC that at the time of the Interval Spin-Off will be the parent of Interval, and will be exchanged with the Exchanging Noteholders immediately after the Interval Spin-Off. Additionally, in conjunction with the Exchange, IAC agreed in the Notes Exchange Agreement to amend the terms of the Tender Offer, as previously disclosed, so as to increase the price offered for any 7% Notes tendered for cash pursuant to the Tender Offer. The issuance and exchange of the Inter val Senior Notes, together with the amended Tender Offer, are being made in connection with the Interval Spin-Off, and are intended to give rise to a succession event (with Interval as the sole successor to IAC) for credit derivatives purposes.
The following table illustrates the expected change, on a pro forma basis, in the amount of Total Obligations1 of IAC expected to be outstanding following the consummation of the Interval Spin-Off, the purchase of 7% Notes pursuant to the amended Tender Offer and the Exchange (collectively, the "Transactions") as compared to the amount of Total Obligations expected to be outstanding on the day preceding consummation of the Transactions. For purposes of the table, it is assumed that approximately $277.4 million principal amount of the 7% Notes will be exchanged for $300 million in principal amount of Interval Senior Notes and approximately $456.5 mill ion principal amount of the 7% Notes will be tendered for cash into the amended Tender Offer (which amount includes 7% Notes tendered into the Tender Offer by Noteholders pursuant to the Notes Exchange Agreement).

NOTES: |
1 For purposes hereof, the term "Total Obligations" means the outstanding principal amount of IAC's total obligations (excluding any obligations to IAC's subsidiaries) of a type, in the form of, or represented by or documented by (A) a bond, note, certificated debt security or other debt security or (B) term loan agreement, revolving loan agreement or other similar credit agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the phrase "Total Obligations" does not include any obligations of any subsidiaries of IAC that are not guaranteed by IAC.
² Amounts reflect principal amount expected to be outstanding as of the day preceding consummation of the Transactions, based on the principal amount outstanding as of August 11, 2008.
