Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Agreements with B/E Aerospace in Connection with the Spin-Off

 

On December 16, 2014 (the “Distribution Date”), B/E Aerospace, Inc. (“B/E Aerospace”) completed the spin-off of KLX Inc. (“KLX”) by means of the transfer of B/E Aerospace’s Consumables Management Segment businesses to KLX and the subsequent distribution to B/E Aerospace stockholders of all of the outstanding shares of KLX common stock (the “Spin-Off”).  On December 15, 2014, KLX entered into several agreements with B/E Aerospace that govern the relationship of the parties following the Spin-Off, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement, and an Employee Matters Agreement. On December 16, 2014, KLX entered into two additional agreements with B/E Aerospace – a Transition Services Agreement and an IT Services Agreement.

 

A summary of the material terms of these agreements can be found in the Information Statement, dated November 26, 2014 (the “Information Statement), filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Agreements with B/E Aerospace Related to the Spin-Off,” which summary is incorporated herein by reference.  The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and IT Services Agreement filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

 

On the Distribution Date KLX also entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders providing KLX with a $500.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).  JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement.

 

Unless terminated earlier or extended in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility will mature five years from the Distribution Date.  The Credit Agreement provides an option for KLX to request (a) incremental term loan commitments or increases in the aggregate amount of any prior incremental term loan tranche and/or (b) additional revolving credit borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate amount for all such requests not to exceed $500.0 million, in each case, upon the satisfaction of certain customary terms and conditions.  Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at KLX’s option, at (x) a LIBOR-based rate or a base rate, plus (y) an applicable margin, which margin may be reduced after the first fiscal quarter end after the Distribution Date subject to KLX attaining certain total leverage ratio levels.  KLX’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by KLX’s wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries and secured by liens on substantially all of KLX’s and such subsidiary guarantors’ domestic assets (including a pledge of a portion of the capital stock of certain foreign subsidiaries owned directly by KLX or a guarantor), subject to certain exceptions and thresholds.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary conditions precedent to borrowing and affirmative and negative covenants with respect to KLX and its subsidiaries, including limitations on the incurrence of debt, limitations on liens, prohibitions on fundamental changes (including by way of merger, consolidation, amalgamation, sale, liquidation or dissolution), limitations on the sale or other disposition of assets, limitations on investments, loans and advances, limitations on declaration and payment of dividends, restrictions on transactions with affiliates, prohibitions on amendments to organizational documents or to documents relating to the Spin-Off in a manner materially adverse to the interests of the lenders and limitations on prepayment of other debt, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, materiality and/or threshold amounts.  In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial maintenance covenants requiring KLX to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, in each case, during the term of the Credit Agreement.  The Revolving Credit Facility has no scheduled amortization or scheduled commitment reductions.  Amounts borrowed and outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will, in certain circumstances, be required to be prepaid with (a) the proceeds from certain asset sales, subject to certain thresholds and reinvestment rights, (b) the proceeds from certain incurrences of indebtedness and (c) the proceeds from certain casualty and condemnation events, subject to certain thresholds and reinvestment rights.

The Credit Agreement further provides for certain customary representations and warranties and events of default, including, among other things, the failure to pay interest, principal and other fees, the failure to observe or perform any material covenant contained in the Credit Agreement, cross-default to certain material indebtedness, a change of control of KLX and the institution of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

 

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be used by KLX to finance the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of KLX and its subsidiaries.

 

The preceding summary of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
