Summary
This 8-K filing from TASER International, Inc. (now Axon Enterprise, Inc.) on November 6, 2006, primarily reports an amendment to its existing Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The amendment, effective November 1, 2006, modifies a covenant related to the repurchase of the company's capital stock. Key for investors is that the company secured permission to repurchase up to an additional $7.8 million of its stock without requiring bank consent. This follows a prior instance where the company had already repurchased $2.2 million in stock, which technically violated the original agreement. The bank has waived this past violation, providing the company with greater flexibility in managing its capital structure and potentially returning value to shareholders through stock buybacks.
