Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On July 12, 2006, WesBanco, Inc. entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Line of Credit Note (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. providing for aggregate borrowings of up to $35 million and an originally scheduled maturity date of July 12, 2007. The Credit Facility accrues interest at an Adjusted LIBOR rate and requires the payment of consecutive quarterly installments of interest only commencing on October 12, 2006. An initial advance of $11 million was used to repay the balance outstanding under the revolving credit agreement discussed under Item 1.02 below.
The Credit Facility contains various conditions precedent to borrowing and affirmative and negative covenants including the following:
Borrower shall maintain at all times each financial institution Subsidiary’s categorization as ‘Well Capitalized’ as defined by the regulations of each respective Subsidiary’s primary federal Government Authority.
Borrower shall at all times maintain a “Financial Institution Subsidiary’s Consolidated Non-Performing Assets Ratio” of not greater than one and 75/100 percent (1.75%), which is the ratio, determined on a consolidated basis for the Borrower, of (i) the sum of “Non-Performing Assets” plus “OREO,” to (ii) the sum of “Total Loans” plus “OREO.” The term “Non-Performing Assets” means the sum of all loans classified as past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, all loans classified as ‘non-accrual’ and no longer accruing interest, all loans classified as ‘restructured loans and leases’, and all other ‘non-performing loans.’ The term “Total Loans” means the total of all performing and non-performing loans. The term “OREO” means the book value, net of accumulated depreciation, of all other real estate owned by the financial institutions Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries for which this ratio is being computed; provided, however, that this term excludes all real estate which is occupied and used by the financial institutions Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. The “Financial Institution Subsidiary’s Consolidated Non-Performing Assets Ratio” shall be measured quarterly and shall be determined from the applicable quarterly financial statements filed with the applicable Governmental Authority.
On July 14, 2006, WesBanco entered into a “Note Modification Agreement” whereby the maturity date of the Credit Facility was changed from July 12, 2007 to July 12, 2008.
The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Credit Facility and related Note Modification Agreement is not complete and is qualified in all respects by the actual provisions of the Credit Facility and Note Modification Agreement, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
