(collectively, the Company) entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the Support Agreement) with Sphere Capital, LLC Series A and Cetus Capital, LLC (collectively, the Consenting Holders). Subject to certain conditions, the Support Agreement provides, among other things, for the restructuring (the Restructuring) of the 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the Senior Subordinated Notes), the 8.0% Junior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and all of the equity interests of Keystone Automotive Holdings, Inc. through either (i) an out-of-court exchange offer (the Exchange Offer) or (ii) a prearranged or prepackaged plan of reorganization (the Prepackaged Plan) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (Chapter 11). The terms of the Restructuring, under both the Exchange Offer and the Prepackaged Plan, contemplate paying all trade suppliers and employees in full and continuing to operate the Companys business in the ordinary course. Subject to earlier termination, the Support Agreement will automatically terminate upon the earlier of the consummation of the Restructuring and June 15, 2011.
Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Consenting Holders have agreed, among other things:
| to promptly tender all their Senior Subordinated Notes in the Exchange Offer; |
| to timely vote all of their claims to accept the Prepackaged Plan and not to revoke any such vote unless and until the Support Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and |
| to not support, directly or indirectly, any restructuring or reorganization of the Company other than the Exchange Offer and the Prepackaged Plan. |
Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Company has agreed, among other things:
| to commence the Exchange Offer on or before February 15, 2011; |
| not to propose, support, assist, engage in negotiations in connection with or participate in the formulation of, any restructuring or reorganization of the Company other than the Restructuring; provided, however, that the Company may terminate the Support Agreement if it reasonably determines that proceeding with the Restructuring would be a breach of its fiduciary duties or applicable law; |
| to place certain restrictions on certain of its actions such as issuing securities, making capital expenditures and incurring indebtedness prior to the consummation of the Restructuring; |
| to pay certain fees and expenses of the legal advisors to the Consenting Holders; |
| to have at least $55.0 million in liquidity following the consummation of the Restructuring; and |
| to commence Chapter 11 cases, solely to the extent necessary, by March 15, 2011. |
In the event that the Company pursues the Restructuring pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, the Company has agreed, among other things:
| to obtain, in accordance with the terms of the Support Agreement, entry of a bankruptcy court order approving a disclosure statement and related solicitation materials, and setting a hearing to consider confirmation of a proposed plan of reorganization within 40 days of commencing the Chapter 11 cases; |
| to commence a hearing to consider the proposed plan of reorganization within 40 days of entry of the bankruptcy court order approving the disclosure statement; |
| to obtain a bankruptcy court order confirming the Companys proposed plan of reorganization within 35 days of the date of the bankruptcy court hearing to consider the proposed plan of reorganization; and |
| to ensure that the effective date of the proposed plan of reorganization occurs no later than 20 days after the date the proposed plan of reorganization is confirmed by the bankruptcy court. |
In connection with the Support Agreement, on January 10, 2011, the Company also entered into a Backstop Stock Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with the Consenting Holders to facilitate the offering (the Rights Offering) of $60.0 million of non-transferable, non-certificated rights (Rights) to acquire shares of the new common stock of the restructured Company (the Shares) in conjunction with the proposed Restructuring. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Consenting Holders have agreed to purchase Rights to acquire any Shares that are not sold in the Rights Offering, at the exercise price applicable to the purchase of such Shares. In exchange for this commitment, the Company has agreed to provide the Consenting Holders a backstop commitment fee equal to 6% of the Shares offered through the Rights Offering solely to the extent the Rights Offering is consummated.
