Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On March 12, 2009, Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), dated as of January 7, 2009, by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries, as borrowers, and Bank of America, N.A., as agent and lender.
     Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, the lender consented to change the thresholds for the minimum operating performance covenant so that (i) the Company is not required to maintain any minimum EBITDA, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement, through March 31, 2009, and (ii) the Company will be required to maintain cumulative EBITDA, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement, calculated monthly starting on April 30, 2009, for each of the following periods as of the end of each fiscal month specified below:
         
    EBITDA (as defined in
    the Loan and Security
    Agreement, as
Period Ending on or Around   amended)
April 1, 2009 through April 30, 2009
  $ (3,250,000 )
April 1, 2009 through May 31, 2009
  $ (3,530,000 )
April 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009
  $ (1,750,000 )
April 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009
  $ 1,200,000  
April 1, 2009 through August 30, 2009
  $ 3,600,000  
April 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009
  $ 9,200,000  
April 1, 2009 through October 31, 2009
  $ 13,200,000  
April 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009
  $ 17,600,000  
April 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009
  $ 22,000,000  
     In addition, the limitation on the amount of capital expenditures permitted under the Loan and Security Agreement was decreased to not more than $4.3 million in the aggregate from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, and not more than $9.7 million in the aggregate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Domestic availability was reduced by increasing required availability under the domestic borrowing base to $11.5 million until such time as the domestic borrowers demonstrate a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0:1.0 for any fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010 or thereafter, at which time the domestic borrowers will be required to maintain availability under the domestic borrowing base of at least $7.5 million at all times.
     Pursuant to the First Amendment, the applicable margin for borrowings by the domestic borrowers was increased to 5.00% for LIBOR loans and 4.00% for base rate loans. The applicable margin will be reduced by 0.25% if, at the end of any fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2010, (i) the Company certifies that the average domestic availability for each day during that quarter was greater than $20.0 million and (ii) the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0:1.0.
