Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
 
On July 29, 2014, Matthews International Corporation (“Matthews”) entered into the First Amendment and the Second Amendment (together, the “Amendments”) to that certain First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated July 18, 2013 (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among Matthews, the financial institutions listed on the signature pages thereof (the “Banks”), Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, a Pennsylvania banking institution, as administrative agent for the Banks, and PNC Bank, National Association, a national banking association, in its capacity as syndication agent for the Banks.
 
The Amendments provide for, among other things, (i) an increase in the revolving credit facility from an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500,000,000 to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $900,000,000 and (ii) an increase in the amount of additional revolving commitments Matthew may request from $200,000,000 to up to $650,000,000. In connection with the Amendments Matthews and certain of its United States subsidiaries granted pledges of and security interests in the equity interests of their respective subsidiaries that are organized in the United States and certain of their first tier foreign subsidiaries.
 
On July 29, 2014, Matthews drew approximately $395 million under the amended loan facility to finance the cash consideration payable to the stockholders of Schawk, Inc. (“SGK”) pursuant to the merger agreement described under Item 2.01 below and to pay off certain indebtedness and expenses of SGK that became due as a result of the merger.
 
The First Amendment and the Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
 
On July 29, 2014, Matthews completed its previously announced acquisition of SGK.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of March 16, 2014, between Matthews, Moonlight Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matthews ("Merger Sub"), Moonlight Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Matthews ("Merger Sub 2") and SGK (the "Merger Agreement"), Merger Sub merged with and into SGK (the "Merger"), with SGK continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matthews. Immediately after the completion of the Merger, SGK merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the "Second Merger", and together with the Merger, the "Mergers"), with Merger Sub 2 continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matthews. Merger Sub 2 has been renamed SGK LLC. The Mergers are intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of SGK Class A common stock (other than those held by SGK as treasury stock) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) 0.20582 of a share of Matthews Class A common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Matthews common stock”) and (ii) $11.80 in cash. In connection with the Merger, Matthews will issue approximately 5.4 million shares of Matthews common stock and pay an aggregate of approximately $309.0 million in cash to former SGK stockholders in exchange for their shares of SGK Class A common stock.
 
Upon the closing of the Merger, the shares of SGK Class A common stock, which previously traded under the ticker symbol “SGK” on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), ceased trading on and were delisted from the NYSE

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Matthews’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 19, 2014 and is incorporated herein by reference.

(d)           In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Matthews entered into a Shareholders' Agreement with certain stockholders of SGK who are members of the Schawk family or trusts for the benefit of members of the Schawk family (the "Schawk Family Stockholders") and David A. Schawk, in his capacity as the SGK family representative (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”).
 
Pursuant to the Shareholders' Agreement Matthews’ board of director increased the number of directors constituting the class whose three year term expires in 2017 by one and, effective as of the closing, appointed David A. Schawk to such class as the initial designee of the Schawk Family Stockholders.
 
The Shareholders’ Agreement provides that, subject to certain conditions and for so long as the Schawk Family Stockholders beneficially own at least 7.5% of the shares of Matthews common stock, at each meeting of its shareholders at which the 2017 class directors are to be elected, it will nominate and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shareholders of Matthews to elect to its board a designee of the Schawk Family Stockholders.
 
 
 

 
 
The Shareholders’ Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.3.to Matthews’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2014 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Mr. Schawk served as Chief Executive Officer of SGK since February 1993 until its acquisition by Matthews and as President of SGK from February 1993 until July 2012. He served as Chief Operating Officer of SGK from September 1992 through February 2004. Mr. Schawk also served on the board of directors of SGK since September 1992.
