(a)
On
May 23, 2008, Westaff (USA), Inc. (the
Borrower
),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westaff, Inc. (the
Company
),
received a notice of default from U.S. Bank National Association, as agent (the
Agent
) for itself and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as lenders (collectively, the
Lenders
)
who are party to the Financing Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2008
(the
Financing Agreement
), between the
Borrower, the Company (as guarantor), the Lenders and U.S. Bank National
Association (as the Agent and letter of credit issuer), stating that (1) an
Event of Default (as defined in the Financing Agreement) has occurred due to the
Borrowers failure to achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the
Financing Agreement) for the fiscal period ended April 19, 2008; and (2) as
a result of the Event of Default, effective May 21, 2008, the Agent increased
the rate of interest to the default rate of interest on the borrowings
outstanding under the Financing Agreement.
The notice of default also stated that, as a consequence of the material
adverse difference between the projected and actual combined EBITDA of the
Borrower and Westaff Support, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company) for the fiscal period ended on April 19, 2008, the Agent would
require an additional cash contribution in the form of equity or subordinated
debt to be made to the Borrower.
Unless waived by the Lenders, the Event of Default gives the Lenders
the right to prohibit additional borrowing under the Financing Agreement,
accelerate the Borrowers indebtedness thereunder, and take other actions as
provided for in the Financing Agreement. As of May 23, 2008, approximately
$28 million of borrowings in the form of issuance of letters of credit was
outstanding under the Financing Agreement.
The Borrower is currently in discussions with the Agent in order to
seek a waiver or forbearance of the Event of Default. There can be no assurance that the Borrower
will be able to obtain a waiver or forbearance or that such a waiver or
forbearance would be on terms acceptable to the Borrower. If the Borrower is unable to obtain a waiver
from the Lenders, it could have a material adverse effect on the Companys
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
