On February 15, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), The William L. Bonnell Company, Inc. (“Buyer”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tredegar Corporation (the “Company”), completed the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Futura Industries Corporation (“Futura Industries”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $92,000,000, subject to certain adjustments (the “Purchase Price”). The Transaction was completed pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2017 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Buyer, Futura Industries, Susan D. Johnson, The Susan D. Johnson Trust, Ken Wells and, in his capacity as sellers’ representative, Brent F. Lloyd.
For more information on the Purchase Agreement, see the description thereof in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 2, 2017.
| Item 2.03. |
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
|
To fund the Purchase Price and related closing costs, the Company borrowed approximately $92,000,000 under its $400,000,000, five-year, revolving, secured credit facility, dated as of March 1, 2016 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, SunTrust Bank, Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania and PNC Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, and U.S. Bank National Association, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-documentation agents, and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). Certain of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed to the Lenders the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement, dated as of March 1, 2016 (the “Guaranty”).
The borrowing, which the Company contributed to the Buyer, bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the one month Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable credit spread per the terms of the Credit Agreement (as of the Closing Date, Adjusted LIBO Rate of .8125 plus spread of 175 basis points).
