Covenant Problems

Event:
Xerium Technologies, Inc., said that it may file for bankruptcy if it failed to meet the terms of a financial covenant with lenders under a credit agreement, according to the Company regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of Xerium's risk of financial covenant default under its credit and guaranty agreement, Stephen Light, Xerium's new chief executive officer, and other members of senior management have been devoting the substantial portion of their time seeking solutions to these financial covenant issues. Xerium says that its board of directors has determined not to declare a dividend on its common stock in the first quarter of 2008, but instead, determined to retain cash that would have otherwise been used for a dividend for the repayment of debt or other purposes. Xerium adds that it does not currently expect to pay dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future.
