Item 8.01
Other Events
As previously disclosed, certain operating subsidiaries of the registrant, namely Kronos Titan GmbH, Kronos Europe S.A./N.V., Kronos Titan AS, Kronos Norge AS, Titania AS and Kronos Denmark ApS (collectively,  the "
Borrowers
"), are parties to a Facility Agreement
dated June 25, 2002, as most recently amended on May 26, 2008, with Deutsche Bank AG, as mandated lead arranger, Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as agent, and the lenders (collectively, the "
Lenders
") participating in the facility (the "
Amended Revolving Credit Facility
").  The Amended Revolving Credit Facility matures on May 26, 2011.  Borrowings under the
Amended Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the applicable interbank market rate plus 1.75%.  The Amended Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by the accounts receivable and the inventories of the Borrowers and a limited pledge of all of the other assets of Kronos Europe S.A./N.V.  The Amended Revolving Credit Facility contains representations, warranties and covenants customary in lending transactions of this type.  The foregoing summary of the Amended Revolving Credit
Facility is qualified in its entirety to the actual terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility in Schedule 2 to Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K the registrant filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "
SEC
") on May 29, 2008, which terms are incorporated herein by this reference.
As previously disclosed in the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2009, on March 20, 2009 the Lenders waived compliance with the required financial ratio of the Borrowers' net secured debt to earnings before income taxes, interest and depreciation, as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit
Facility (the "
Debt Ratio
"), for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2009.  Among other things, such waiver moved the next required Debt Ratio measurement period to the 12-month period ending April 30, 2009.  The Borrowers did not pay any fee to the Lenders to obtain this waiver.
As previously disclosed in the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 4, 2009, on April 29, 2009 the Lenders waived compliance with the Debt Ratio for the 12-month period ending April 30, 2009.  Among other things, this waiver moved the next required Debt Ratio measurement period to the 12-month
period ending June 15, 2009.  The Borrowers did not pay any fee to the Lenders to obtain this second waiver.
As previously disclosed in the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 24, 2009, on June 18, 2009, the Lenders waived compliance with the Debt Ratio for the 12-month period ending June 15, 2009.  Among other things, this waiver moved the next required Debt Ratio measurement period to the 12-month
period ending August 31, 2009.  The Borrowers did not pay any fee to the Lenders to obtain this third waiver.
On August 31, 2009, the Lenders waived compliance with the Debt Ratio for the 12-month period ending August 31, 2009.  Among other things, this waiver moved the next required Debt Ratio measurement period to the 12-month period ending September 15, 2009.  The Borrowers did not pay any fee to the Lenders to obtain this
third waiver.
The Borrowers are continuing their discussions with the Lenders to amend the terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and expect to obtain such an amendment on or around September 15, 2009.  The registrant can give no assurance that such amendment will be obtained on or around such date or later, or if obtained that the
requirement to maintain the Debt Ratio would be eliminated (or waived, in the event the Lenders would only agree to a waiver and not an amendment to eliminate the Debt Ratio covenant itself) through some future date acceptable to the Borrowers.  Any such amendment or waiver that the Borrowers might obtain could increase their future borrowing costs, either from a requirement that they pay a higher rate of interest on outstanding borrowings and/or pay a fee to the Lenders as part of agreeing to such
amendment or waiver.
In the event the Borrowers are not successful in obtaining the amendment or waiver of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility to eliminate the requirement to comply with the Debt Ratio financial covenant until some future date acceptable to the Borrowers, the Borrowers would seek to refinance such facility with a new group of lenders with
terms that would not include the Debt Ratio financial covenant or, if required, the Borrowers will use their existing liquidity resources (which could include funds provided by affiliates of the Borrowers).  While there is no assurance that the Borrowers would be able to refinance the Amended Revolving Credit Facility with a new group of lenders, the registrant believes these other sources of liquidity available to the Borrowers would allow them to refinance the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.  If
required, the registrant believes by undertaking one or more of these steps the Borrowers will be successful in maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet the registrant's future obligations including operations, capital expenditures and debt service for the next 12 months.
This current report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements concerning the registrant's ability to obtain future amendments to, waivers to certain requirements of, or refinancing of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.  Any
statement in this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement.  Although the registrant believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot give assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct.  Such statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results.  It is not possible to identify all of the risks and
uncertainties the registrant faces that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in this report.  These risks and uncertainties include without limitation, the future conditions in the credit markets, the results of negotiations with the Lenders, the future liquidity of the registrant and its affiliates and the significant risk factors set forth in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 that the registrant filed with the SEC
effective March 12, 2009.  Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those expected.  The registrant disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of changes in information, future events or otherwise.
