Item 1.0.1 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 23, 2009, Centerplate, Inc. (the Company) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee,
entered into the Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 23, 2009 (the Supplemental
Indenture), to the indenture dated as of December 10, 2003 (as supplemented up to and including
January 23, 2009, the Indenture). The Supplemental Indenture was entered into in connection with
the Companys previously announced tender offer and related consent solicitation (the Offer) with
respect to its 13.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the Notes). As part of the Consent
Solicitation, the Company sought and received the requisite consent from holders of the Notes for
certain amendments (the Proposed Amendments) relating to the Indenture. The Proposed Amendments
to the Indenture eliminate substantially all of the covenants, certain events of default and the
change of control offer and modify certain provisions relating to the defeasance of the Notes and
the manner in which the Company may extend the maturity of the Notes. The Proposed Amendments to
the Indenture will not become operative unless and until the Company purchases validly tendered
Notes pursuant to the Offer.
The Offer is made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Companys Offer to Purchase and
Consent Solicitation Statement dated December 23, 2008 (the Statement), and the related Consent
and Letter of Transmittal. The Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including the merger of the Company with an affiliate of Kohlberg & Company, L.L.C. (the Merger)
pursuant to the previously announced merger agreement, as amended, having occurred, or the Merger
occurring substantially concurrent with the expiration of the tender offer. Further details about
the terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in the Statement.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 23, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the
Supplemental Indenture in connection with the Offer and the extension of the expiration date of its
tender offer to purchase up to 70% of its outstanding Notes, from 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on
January 23, 2009, to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on January 26, 2009, unless otherwise extended
by the Company.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
