Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
On September 18, 2008, WorldSpace, Inc. (the Company) reached an agreement with each of the four holders (the Holders) of the Companys amended and restated secured notes (the Bridge Loan Notes) and second amended and restated convertible notes (the Convertible Notes) to defer until September 25, 2008, the Companys obligation to pay $19.97 million in principal amount of the Bridge Loan Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest due on the Bridge Loan Notes, which was payable on September 15, 2008.
During the period of the forbearance, the Company is working on developing a comprehensive operational and financial restructuring plan for addressing both its immediate and longer term financing requirements. At the same time, the Company continues to seek new financing but there can be no assurance that it will succeed in securing commitments for such financing during the pendency of any forbearance arrangement with the Holders.
Under the September 18, 2008 agreement, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to appoint a Chief Restructuring Officer acceptable to the Holders no later than September 30, 2008. In addition, in connection with the agreement, Mr. Noah Samara has agreed that, in the event all amounts due under the Bridge Loan Notes are not paid by September 25, 2008, he will, if requested by the Holders, step down from his positions as CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company while remaining as a director of the Company.
