On December 13, 2013, Norcraft Companies, L.P. (“Norcraft Companies”) borrowed in full the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million under the senior secured term loan credit agreement that was entered into on November 14, 2013 and previously announced, among Norcraft Companies, the lenders party thereto and Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Term Loan Facility”). On December 13, 2013, in connection with the borrowing under the Term Loan Facility, Norcraft Finance Corp. (“Norcraft Finance”), Norcraft Intermediate Holdings, L.P. and Norcraft Canada Corporation became parties to the Term Loan Facility, as guarantors, pursuant to a Joinder Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and, along with Norcraft Companies, entered into a series of agreements in connection with the Term Loan Facility, including the U.S. Security Agreement, the Canadian Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 hereto, respectively.

The proceeds of the term loan borrowing, together with the proceeds from Norcraft Companies, Inc.’s recent initial public offering, were used to redeem Norcraft Companies and Norcraft Finance’s outstanding 10.5% senior secured second lien notes due 2015 (the “Existing Notes”) (including the payment of accrued interest and the applicable premium thereon and all other amounts due and payable in respect of the Existing Notes to the date of redemption) on December 16, 2013 as further described below.

On December 13, 2013, Norcraft Companies satisfied and discharged the Existing Notes by irrevocably depositing with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee for the Existing Notes (the “Trustee”), funds in trust in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire amount outstanding in respect of the Existing Notes (including accrued interest and the applicable premium thereon and all other amounts due and payable in respect of the Existing Notes to the date of redemption). Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Existing Notes, (i) all obligations under (A) the indenture, dated December 9, 2009, between Norcraft Companies, Norcraft Finance, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee, as supplemented on May 20, 2011 and May 26, 2011, pursuant to which the Existing Notes were issued (the “Indenture”), (B) the Existing Notes and (C) all Security Documents (as defined in the Indenture) and other documents entered into in connection therewith, were discharged and are of no further force and effect (except with respect to certain provisions that by the terms of the Indenture and such other documents expressly survive such satisfaction and discharge), and (ii) all liens granted on collateral securing the obligations under the Existing Notes were released. On December 16, 2013, the Existing Notes were redeemed in accordance with the Indenture.

The information contained in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this item 2.03.

On December 16, 2013, Norcraft Companies, Inc. issued a press release announcing the redemption of the Existing Notes, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
