Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On October 25, 2007, Champion Home Builders Co. (“Champion Homes”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Champion Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company and certain additional subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with certain financial institutions and other parties thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”) and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch (“Credit Suisse”), as Administrative Agent, which modifies the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2006, as amended, among Champion Homes, the Company, the Lenders and Credit Suisse, as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Third Amendment will, (i) effective upon the issuance of the Company’s 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 (the “New Notes”), modify the interest rates in the Credit Agreement and allow for the issuance of the New Notes, the repurchase of the Company’s 7 5/8% Senior Notes due 2009 (the “2009 Notes”), and certain restructuring of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, and (ii) effective upon the repurchase of the 2009 Notes, will modify certain financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.
     Other than the Credit Agreement, as amended, there are no material relationships between Credit Suisse or the Lenders and the Company or any of their respective affiliates, other than as follows: (i) the Company and its affiliates may have customary banking relationships with one or more of the Lenders and (ii) affiliates of Credit Suisse have in the past provided investment banking and investment banking-related services to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and these entities may continue to do so in the future.
     The foregoing description of the Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
