Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

On March 5, 2007, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Issuer, Meggitt-USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), and Ferndown Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger Sub”, and together with Purchaser, the “Purchaser Companies”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge (the “Merger”) with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser.  The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is included as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement and condition to the willingness of the Purchaser Companies to enter into the Merger Agreement, on March 5, 2007, certain of the Issuer’s principal stockholders, the Issuer and Purchaser entered into various stockholder voting agreements (each a “Stockholders Agreement”, and collectively the “Stockholders Agreements”).  There are four versions of Stockholders Agreements, each with terms and conditions modified to apply to the particular signatories thereto.  The four versions are (i) a version signed by the Aurora Partnerships (consisting of AEPII, AOEPII, AEPIII and AOEPIII, as defined in Item 2 hereof); (ii) a version signed by certain stockholders who previously granted the Aurora Partnerships a proxy in respect of their shares of the Common Stock; (iii) a version signed by certain stockholders who previously agreed to vote their shares of the Common Stock consistent with the vote of the Aurora Partnerships, subject to certain exceptions; and (iv) a version signed by the Issuer’s independent directors.

 

The Stockholders Agreements should be read in conjunction with that certain Securityholders Agreement, among the Issuer and certain of its stockholders, dated as of November 18, 2004, as amended by the First Amendment dated as of December 27, 2004 and as further amended by the Second Amendment dated as of April 27, 2005 (the “Securityholders Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Securityholders Agreement, which is more fully described in Item 6 below, certain stockholders granted an irrevocable proxy to each of the Aurora Partnerships, subject to certain exceptions.  As of March 7, 2007, 2,743,753 shares of Common Stock were subject to this proxy (the “Proxy Shares”).  Other holders agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock in the same manner as the Aurora Partnerships vote their shares, subject to certain exceptions.  As of March 7, 2007, 6,011,850 shares of Common Stock were subject to this provision (the “Voting Shares”).  Accordingly, as of March 7, 2007, the Aurora Partnerships had voting control, under the terms of the Securityholders Agreement, by proxy or voting agreement, over an aggregate of  8,755,603 outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Aurora Outstanding Voting Shares”).

 

The four versions of the Stockholders Agreements are as follows:

 

(A)          Aurora Stockholders Agreement.     Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement by and among Purchaser, the Aurora Partnerships and the Issuer (“Aurora Stockholders Agreement”), the Aurora Partnerships agreed to vote or cause to be voted (i) all of the 2,743,753 Proxy Shares and (ii) all of their 11,430,703 owned shares of Common Stock (the “Owned Shares”) (A) in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and all actions contemplated and required in furtherance of the Merger Agreement and the Aurora Stockholders Agreement; and (B) against the adoption of any third party acquisition proposal.  The Aurora Partnerships also agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the stockholders who previously agreed pursuant to the Securityholders Agreement to vote their 6,011,850 Voting Shares  consistent with the vote of the Aurora Partnerships to vote (i) in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and all actions contemplated and required in furtherance of the Merger Agreement and the Aurora Stockholders Agreement; and (ii) against the adoption of any third party acquisition proposal.  In connection therewith, the Aurora Partnerships duly executed and delivered an irrevocable proxy to Purchaser appointing Purchaser and any of its authorized representatives with the power to vote, at any meeting of stockholders of the Issuer, or in any other circumstance upon which the vote or approval of stockholders is sought, all of the Owned Shares and Proxy Shares (i) in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and all actions contemplated and required in furtherance of the Merger Agreement and the Aurora Stockholders Agreement; and (ii) against the adoption of any third party acquisition proposal.  Furthermore, the Aurora Partnerships agreed not to amend, waive, cancel or terminate the Securityholders Agreement or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity and to refrain from taking any actions described in clause (i) or (ii) of the foregoing sentence which would violate the Aurora Stockholders Agreement.

 

Under the terms of the Aurora Stockholders Agreement, the Aurora Partnerships also agreed (i) other than pursuant to the Aurora Stockholders Agreement, not to sell, transfer, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of their Owned Shares to any third party; (ii) not grant a proxy or enter into any other voting agreement with respect to their Owned Shares and  Proxy Shares; (iii) not to seek, assert or perfect any appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law in connection with the Merger as it relates to their Owned Shares; (iv) to comply with the restrictions on solicitation of third party proposals set forth in Section 5.3 of the Merger Agreement; and (v) in the event that the Issuer terminates the Merger Agreement and accepts a third party acquisition proposal, to tender or pay to Purchaser in immediately available funds fifty percent (50%) of any consideration received under such alternative acquisition proposal to the extent that such consideration exceeds the amount that would have been received from Purchaser under the Merger Agreement.

11




(B)           Proxy Grantors Stockholder Agreement.          Certain of the Issuer’s stockholders who are subject  to Section 7.1 of the Securityholders Agreement, under which such stockholders previously granted the Aurora Partnerships a proxy to vote their shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (“7.1 Stockholders”), also entered into a Stockholders Agreement with Purchaser and the Issuer (the “7.1 Stockholders Agreement”).  The 7.1 Stockholders Agreement is substantially similar to the Aurora Stockholders Agreement.  However, because the 7.1 Stockholders have previously granted the Aurora Partnerships a proxy to vote all of their shares, and the Aurora Partnerships have agreed with Purchaser under the Aurora Stockholders Agreement that they will vote the Proxy Shares in favor of the Merger, there is no provision in the 7.1 Stockholders Agreement requiring the 7.1 Stockholders to directly vote their shares in favor of the Merger.

 

(C)           GE Stockholders Agreement.             General Electric Pension Trust and General Electric Insurance Plan Trust (collectively “GE”), each of whom are subject to Section 7.2 of the Securityholders Agreement, under which GE (and certain others) previously agreed, subject to the terms of such Section 7.2, to vote their shares of Common Stock consistent with the vote of the Aurora Partnerships, also entered into a Stockholders Agreement with Purchaser and the Issuer (“GE Stockholders Agreement”).  The GE Stockholders Agreement is substantially similar to the Aurora Stockholders Agreement.  However, instead of imposing a direct obligation to vote their shares in favor of the Merger, the GE Stockholders Agreement provides  that at any meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders, or in any other circumstance upon which a vote or approval of stockholders is sought, GE will vote or cause to be voted all of its outstanding shares in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Securityholders Agreement.

 

(D)          Independent Director Stockholders Agreements.          The Issuer’s independent directors (Jack O. Peiffer, Thomas A. Johnson and J. Thomas Zusi) also entered into a Stockholders Agreement with the Issuer and Purchaser (the “Independent Directors Stockholders Agreement”).  The terms of the Independent Directors Stockholders Agreement are identical to that of the 7.1 Stockholders Agreement, except that the independent directors are not required to tender or pay to Purchaser in immediately available funds fifty percent (50%) of any consideration received under an alternative acquisition proposal to the extent that such consideration exceeds the amount they would have received from Purchaser under the Merger Agreement.

 

Other Stockholder Agreement Terms:

 

If at any time during the term of the Aurora Stockholders Agreement and prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Stockholders Agreements result in Purchaser or Meggitt PLC, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales, and parent company to Purchaser, becoming the beneficial owner (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, the number of voting shares subject to the Stockholders Agreements (other than GE shares subject to the GE Stockholders Agreement) shall be deemed to be reduced (but only during the period where beneficial ownership above 50% shall exist) by such amount as shall be necessary to cause Purchaser to be the beneficial owner of 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

All of the Stockholders Agreements terminate upon the earlier of (i) the effective time of the Merger and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement.  However, in connection with the obligation of certain stockholders to pay to Purchaser 50% of the profits from certain third party acquisition proposals, in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated, the restrictions against transfer of shares of Common Stock will apply after the announcement of a third party acquisition proposal, if any, and until withdrawal, of any such third party acquisition proposal.

 

Those stockholders who are party to the Securityholders Agreement and who did not enter into a Stockholders Agreement in connection with the Merger may sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of their shares so long as any such transfer complies with the terms of the Securityholders Agreement and applicable law.  A transfer by such stockholders will decrease the number of Proxy Shares and/or Voting Shares subject to the Stockholders Agreements and will likewise decrease the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Securityholders Agreement, including the voting provisions therein.

 

The foregoing summary of the Stockholders Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to each of the Stockholders Agreements; a copy of each agreement is included as exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference.

 

Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (although they reserve the right to develop such plans).

Pursuant to the Securityholders Agreement, which is more fully described in Item 6 below, certain stockholders granted an irrevocable proxy to each of the Aurora Partnerships, subject to certain exceptions.  As of March 7, 2007, 2,743,753 shares of Common Stock were subject to this proxy (as defined in Item 4 above, the “Proxy Shares”).  All of the Proxy Shares are subject to the Aurora Stockholders Agreement.  Other holders agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock in the same manner as the Aurora Partnerships vote their shares, subject to certain exceptions.  As of March 7, 2007, 6,011,850 shares of Common Stock were subject to this provision (as defined in Item 4 above, the “Voting Shares”).  All of the Voting Shares are likewise subject to the Aurora Stockholders Agreement.  Accordingly, as of March 7, 2007, the Aurora Partnerships had voting control, under the terms of the Securityholders Agreement, by proxy or voting agreement, over an aggregate of 8,755,603 outstanding shares of Common Stock (“Aurora Outstanding Voting Shares”).

 

In addition, certain holders of options have granted to the Aurora Partnerships rights similar to those set forth in the Securityholders Agreement with respect to the shares covered by their options.  As of March 7, 2007, options to purchase 560,844 shares (the “Aurora Option Voting Shares,” and, together with the Aurora Outstanding Voting Shares, the “Aurora Voting Shares”) were exercisable within 60 days and thus beneficially owned by the Aurora Partnerships.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

In addition to the arrangements described in Items 3, 4 and 5 of this Statement, the following contracts exist with respect to the voting and investment power of the securities of the Issuer.

Securityholders Agreement. The Aurora Partnerships and KFE and Messrs. Crowell, Parsky Mapes and Roeder are parties to the Securityholders Agreement. Each of the stockholders party to the Securityholders Agreement (other than the Aurora Partnerships and certain co-investors) have granted an irrevocable proxy to each of the Aurora Partnerships, each of which may act alone to exercise such proxy except in certain limited circumstances. With certain limited exceptions, each co-investor has agreed to vote its shares of Common Stock in the same manner as the Aurora Partnerships vote their respective shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock are to be released from the proxy when they are no longer owned by the stockholder party to the Securityholders Agreement or its permitted transferee or any other person that is bound by the terms of the

14




 

Securityholders Agreement.

Each of the stockholders party to the Securityholders Agreement has agreed that, without the consent of a majority in interest of the Aurora Partnerships, it will not transfer any of the Issuer’s Common Stock that would exceed the lesser of the volume limitations set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Rule 144(e)(1) of the Securities Act, regardless of whether such transfer or such securities are otherwise subject to Rule 144.

 

All stockholders who are parties to the Securityholders Agreement are entitled to certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.  In addition, any holder or holders of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer Common Stock are entitled to demand the registration of their shares, subject to customary restrictions.  The Issuer will bear all expenses incident to any such registrations, including the fees and expenses of a single counsel retained by the selling stockholders; however, each selling stockholder will be responsible for the underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes in connection with shares sold by such stockholder.  Each selling stockholder and the underwriters through whom shares are sold on behalf of a selling stockholder will be entitled to customary indemnification from the Issuer against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing summary of the Securityholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securityholders Agreement (including all amendments thereto), copies of which are included as exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference.

 

Management Services Agreement.  The Issuer, its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, K&F Industries, Inc., and Aurora Management Partners LLC, an affiliate of the Aurora Partnerships, are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement dated as of August 12, 2005 (the “Management Services Agreement”).  The Management Services Agreement provides Aurora Management Partners with a right of first refusal to provide the Issuer with management and financial advisory services in exchange for mutually agreeable compensation (which will be 2% of the transaction consideration (including debt assumed and current assets retained) if an alternative amount is not expressly agreed upon).  This right of first refusal will terminate when Aurora Management Partners or its affiliates directly or indirectly hold less than 5% of the  Common Stock.

 

In connection with the Merger Agreement and as an inducement to Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, Aurora Management Partners waived the up to 2% transaction fee owing to it under the Management Services Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, the Issuer has also agreed to indemnify Aurora Management Partners and its partners, members, officers, employees, agents and affiliates and the stockholders, partners, members, affiliates, directors, officers and employees of any of the foregoing for losses relating to the services contemplated under the Management Services Agreement.  In addition, the Issuer has agreed to continue to reimburse Aurora Management Partners for its out-of-pocket expenses relating to the services contemplated under the Management Services Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary of the Management Services Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Management Services Agreement, a copy of which is included as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference.
