Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On September 14, 2009, Blockbuster Inc. (the Company) announced its intention to implement a proposed amendment of its credit agreement
and an extension of its Term Loan B Facility (Term Loan B).
The amendment to our credit agreement is expected to, among other
things: (i) extend the final maturity of a portion of our Term Loan B from lenders electing to extend from August 20, 2011 to May 31, 2012; (ii) increase the applicable margin for the interest rate with respect to the extended
Term Loan B; (iii) permit the divestiture of non-core international assets and planned store closures; (iv) permit the issuance of senior secured notes and the grant of security interests in the collateral for the senior secured notes;
(v) add prepayment requirements with respect to the extended Term Loan B in connection with certain asset sales; (vi) amend certain financial maintenance covenants; and (vii) reduce the quarterly mandatory amortization payments of the
extended Term Loan B as compared to the non-extended Term Loan B.
A lender under the Term Loan B that does not consent to the amendment
will continue to be a lender under the Term Loan B but will not be subject to the extension of the maturity, lower mandatory amortization payments and the increased interest rates and the prepayment requirements in connection with certain asset
sales as provided in the amendment.
The Company is furnishing additional materials herewith to disclose this information pursuant to
Regulation FD.
In accordance with general instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, the information in this Form 8-K under Item 7.01
(Regulation FD Disclosure), including the materials furnished as an exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
