Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

In connection with the previously announced consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”), effective June 27, 2012 (the “Effective Time”), Interline Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Interline Brands Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Issuer”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated November 16, 2010 (as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated June 19, 2012, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Issuer, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, governing the Issuer’s 7.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”). The Supplemental Indenture was entered into to modify the definition of “Change of Control” contained in, and add a definition of “Permitted Holders”, (the “Solicited Amendments”), to the Indenture, to allow GS Capital Partners VI, L.P., P2 Capital Master Fund I, L.P. and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “New Sponsors”) to jointly acquire control (the “Merger”) of the Company (together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, collectively, “we,” “us” or “Interline Brands”), without triggering a “Change of Control” as defined in the Indenture).

 

As consideration for the Solicited Amendments:

 

(i)             Isabelle Acquisition Sub Inc. will make a cash payment on behalf of the Issuer of $5.00 per $1,000 (the “Consent Payment”) in aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each holder who has validly delivered a duly executed consent at or prior to the Expiration Time (as defined below) and who has not revoked the consent in accordance with the procedure described in the Consent Solicitation Statement dated June 21, 2012 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”);

 

(ii)          the Issuer will amend the Indenture to increase the interest rate on the Notes under the Indenture from 7.00% to 7.50% per annum;

 

(iii)       the Issuer will amend the Indenture to increase the redemption price of the Notes for the twelve-month period commencing on November 15, 2013 and ending on November 14, 2014 to 105.625% and the period commencing on November 15, 2014 and ending on November 14, 2017 to 103.75%;

 

(iv)      the Issuer will amend the Indenture to make the Notes senior notes ranking equal in right of payment to all future incurrences of senior indebtedness (including indebtedness under the new asset based loan facility expected to be entered into in connection with the Merger)  by amending the definition of “Senior Indebtedness” to include only indebtedness that is outstanding immediately prior to the date that the Merger is consummated (including any amendment or modification to such indebtedness); and

 

(v)         the Issuer will amend the Indenture to replace the restriction on the incurrence  of secured indebtedness contained in the anti-layering covenant with a covenant restricting the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors from incurring liens, other than certain Permitted Liens (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Statement), without equally and ratably securing the Notes, which Permitted Liens will include customary exclusions as well as a basket for Permitted Liens based on a 2.25 to 1.00 secured leverage ratio test for incurrence of secured indebtedness by the Issuer and its restricted subsidiaries.

The amendments set forth above in paragraphs (ii) to (v) (such amendments, the “Beneficial Amendments”), together with the Solicited Amendments, comprise the proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”).

 

The consent solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 28, 2012 (the “Expiration Time”). Pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Indenture, the Solicited Amendments became effective and binding on all holders of the Notes at the Effective Time. However, the Beneficial Amendments will become operative only if and when the Merger is consummated. If the Merger is not consummated at or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on November 29, 2012 (as such date may be extended as described in the Supplemental Indenture), all of the Proposed Amendments, including the Solicited Amendments shall  no longer be part of the Indenture and shall be of no further effect.  The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
