Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 30, 2014, OCI Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “General Partner”), entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “OCIR First Amendment”) with each of the lenders listed on the respective signature pages thereof (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer, which First Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2013 (the “OCIR Credit Agreement”), by and among the General Partner, the Lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer.
In addition, on October 30, 2014, OCI Wyoming LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “OCI Wyoming First Amendment” and, together with the OCIR First Amendment, collectively, the “First Amendments”) with each of the lenders listed on the respective signature pages thereof (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer, which First Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2013 (the “OCI Wyoming Credit Agreement” and, together with the OCIR Credit Agreement, collectively, the “Credit Agreements”), by and among the Company, the Lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer.
Among other things, the First Amendments:
• | revise the operation of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of consolidated cash flow to consolidated fixed charges, each as defined in the First Amendments) to result in consolidated cash flow being reduced by consolidated maintenance capital expenditures (as defined in the First Amendments). Prior to the First Amendments, both expansion capital expenditures and maintenance capital expenditures reduced consolidated cash flow; |
• | modify the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio in the OCIR Credit Agreement to be not less than 1.05 to 1.00 for the remainder of the 2014 fiscal year and the 2015 fiscal year, and not less than 1.10 to 1.00 thereafter; |
• | modify the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio in the OCI Wyoming Credit Agreement to be not less than 1.10 to 1.00 for the remainder of the 2014 fiscal year and the 2015 fiscal year, and not less than 1.15 to 1.00 thereafter; and |
• | require that consolidated capital expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreements) not exceed $50 million in any fiscal year. |
In accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.1446-4(d), a qualified notice was issued to the New York Stock Exchange indicating that this distribution represents income effectively connected with a U.S. business (ECI) and that all nominees are responsible for withholding 35% of the fiscal 2014 third quarter distribution to foreign investors (nonresident aliens, foreign corporations, foreign trusts and foreign estates) as required under Section 1446 of the Internal Revenue Code.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, the information provided under this Item 7.01 and the information attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 shall be deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The furnishing of the information in this report is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by the Partnership that the information in this report is material or complete, or that investors should consider this information before making an investment decision with respect to any security of the Partnership or any of its affiliates.
