Item 8.01

Other Events.

 

On August 3, 2011 Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (the “Registrant”) announced that it has completed the acquisition of all the outstanding capital securities of Continental Alloys & Services, Inc. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, “Continental Alloys & Services”), for a transaction value of $415 million, subject to certain adjustments.  Other terms were not disclosed.  Continental Alloys & Services, headquartered in Houston, Texas, comprises a leading global materials management company focused on high-end steel and alloy pipe, tube and bar products and precision manufacturing of various tools designed for well completion programs of global energy service companies and has 12 locations in seven countries including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai and Mexico.

 

Continental Alloys & Services was founded in 1976 and had unaudited combined net sales of about $196 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The Continental Alloys & Services companies will operate as direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Registrant.  Current management will remain in place.

 

Neither the sole shareholder of Continental Alloys & Services (the “Seller”) nor any of the officers and directors of Continental Alloys & Services is affiliated with or related to the Registrant in any way.  The purchase price was determined by negotiations between the Registrant, on the one hand, and the Seller on the other.  To fund the purchase price and the repayment or refinancing of debt, the Registrant drew down on its recently amended and restated syndicated revolving line of credit with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and 25 other banks, as lenders.

 

A copy of the press release related to the transaction is attached as an exhibit hereto.
