Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Stock Purchase Agreement

On April 2, 2018, NN, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), solely for the purposes of Article V and Article XI therein, with Precision Engineered Products LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), Paragon Equity LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and PMG Intermediate Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PMG”), pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to acquire from Seller (the “Acquisition”) all of the outstanding capital stock of PMG.

The purchase price the Company has agreed to pay in connection with the Acquisition is $375 million in cash (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment for PMG’s indebtedness, working capital and cash balance at the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”). The Purchase Price is also subject to adjustment for certain Acquisition-related expenses.

The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants by each party. The Closing of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Company’s and the Purchaser’s obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement are not conditioned on receipt of financing. The parties are obligated, subject to certain limitations, to indemnify the other under the Stock Purchase Agreement for certain customary and other specified matters, including breaches of representations and warranties, nonfulfillment or breaches of covenants and for certain liabilities and third-party claims.

The foregoing descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. The Stock Purchase Agreement has been included as an exhibit hereto solely to provide the Company’s investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to be a source of financial, business or operational information about the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement: (i) are made only for purposes of the Stock Purchase Agreement and are made as of specific dates; (ii) are solely for the benefit of the parties; (iii) may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts; and (iv) may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. The Company’s investors and security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

Debt Commitment Letter

In connection with entering into the Stock Purchase Agreement, on April 2, 2018, the Company also entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with SunTrust Bank and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. (collectively, the “Commitment Parties”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Commitment Parties have committed to provide (i) if certain

amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement, as hereinafter defined (the “Required Amendments”), are obtained, a $200 million incremental senior secured first lien term loan facility (the “Incremental Facility”), and (ii) if the Required Amendments are not obtained, senior secured first lien credit facilities in the amount of $1,125 million consisting of (a) a senior secured first lien term loan facility in the amount of $1,025 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (b) a senior secured first lien revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Funds received from the foregoing credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”) will be used, together with cash on hand, to finance a portion of the Purchase Price of the Acquisition, to pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith and to refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Company, its subsidiaries and PMG.

If the Company issues equity securities to finance a portion of Purchase Price, the amount of cash available under the Incremental Facility or the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, will automatically be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the aggregate net proceeds from the issuance or sale prior to the Closing.

The Credit Facilities will be guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016 (as amended by the Incremental Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2016, Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2017, Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2017 and Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 24, 2017, as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) and by the direct or indirect, material, domestic subsidiaries acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the Acquisition. The interest rate of the Incremental Facility and of the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, will be LIBOR plus 3.75%, and depending on the Company’s leverage ratios, the interest rate of the Revolving Credit Facility will range from LIBOR plus 2.50% to LIBOR plus 3.50%. The Incremental Facility would be subject to an amortization schedule with final payment due on October 19, 2022. The Term Loan Facility would be subject to an amortization schedule with final payment due seven years following the Closing. The final maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility would occur on the fifth anniversary of the Closing.

Some of the Commitment Parties or their respective affiliates from time to time have provided in the past and may provide in the future investment banking, commercial lending and financial advisory services to the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

The foregoing description of the Debt Commitment Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Debt Commitment Letter which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
