Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 28, 2014, LGI Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) and each of its subsidiaries (together, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Credit Agreement with a syndication of lenders (together, the “Lenders”) and Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer (the “Credit Agreement”).
The Credit Agreement provides for a $135.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which can be increased to $200.0 million by request of the Company, subject to certain criteria. The revolving credit facility matures on April 28, 2017. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are limited to the borrowing base, which is determined based on the loan value of the pool of collateral in which the Lenders have a security interest. The Borrowers may add houses, vacant lots, land and acquisition and development projects to its pool of collateral through April 28, 2015. Subsequent to this date and through April 28, 2016, advances will continue to be made for assets previously included in the pool of collateral as they move into higher funding categories. The loan value of pre-sold house, model houses, speculative houses, vacant lots, land and acquisition and development projects is based on formulas with respect to each of those categories of collateral; the loan value of the collateral decreases based on the amount of time such collateral is in the borrowing base. Pre-sold houses may remain in the borrowing base for up to one year. Speculative homes may remain in the borrowing base for up to 18 months. Vacant lots, land, and acquisition and development projects may remain in the borrowing base for up to three years.
The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that will generally be tested on a quarterly basis. The Credit Agreement requires the Borrowers to maintain for each four fiscal quarter period, a ratio of EBITDA to any debt service payments of at least 3.0 to 1.0. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Borrowers to (i) not exceed a debt to capitalization ratio of 0.50 to 1.0, (ii) maintain a leverage ratio of not more than 1:25 to 1.0, (iii) maintain liquidity in excess of $23.0 million, (iv) maintain a ratio of value of all land, lots, and acquisition and development projects to net worth of not more than 1:25 to 1.0, (v) maintain a net worth of not less than the sum of $145.0 million plus the net proceeds of any issuance of equity interests by the Borrowers plus 50% of the net income of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, and (vi) not suffer net losses in more than two consecutive calendar quarters. The Credit Agreement prohibits the Borrowers from owning more houses (whether completed or under construction) than were conveyed to independent third-party purchasers in the preceding 150-day period.
In addition, the Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the Borrowers’ ability to (i) create, issue, incur or assume indebtedness, (ii) dispose of houses, lots and land outside the ordinary course of business, (iii) incur, create, assume or permit to exist any lien upon any of its property other than permitted liens, and (iv) merge, consolidate or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any person other than the Company or another Borrower. In addition, the Company is prohibited from allowing any subsidiary from owning or acquiring mortgaged property unless the subsidiary is a Borrower or becomes a Borrower by entering into a Joinder Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains various events of default including (i)(a) any material deviation in construction of house or acquisition and development project from the plans and specifications and governmental requirements described in the Credit Agreement (b) the appearance or use of defective workmanship or materials in constructing any house or acquisition and development project (c) the cessation of construction or sale of any house or lot for a continuous period of more than 15 days, subject to certain exceptions, (d) any prohibition, enjoinment or delay for a continuous period of more than 30 days of the construction or sale of any house or lot under the Credit Agreement and (e) the curtailment of utilities or other public services necessary for the utilization of mortgaged property for a continuous period of more than 30 days, in each case, subject to cure periods or curing such default by paying the appropriate partial release price for the affected collateral and removing such affected collateral from the borrowing base and (ii) other customary events of default.

In addition, upon the occurrence of any event of default, the Lenders may, at their sole option, declare all sums owing to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.
