Senior Credit Facility

On November 8, 2012, H&H Group entered into a $205.0 million senior secured credit facility, consisting of a revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility") in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $90.0 million and a term loan ("Senior Term Loan") in an aggregate principal amount of $115.0 million (collectively, "Senior Credit Facility"). The term loan requires quarterly principal payments of $2.2 million, $3.6 million, $4.3 million, $4.3 million and $4.3 million in years 1 to 5 of the agreement, respectively. The facility will expire, with remaining outstanding balances due and payable, on November 8, 2017. The facility is guaranteed by substantially all existing and thereafter acquired or created domestic and Canadian wholly-owned subsidiaries of H&H Group. The Senior Credit Facility restricts H&H Group's ability to transfer cash or other assets to HNH, subject to certain exceptions including required pension payments to the WHX Corporation Pension Plan ("WHX Pension Plan").

Borrowings under the facility bear interest, at H&H Group's option, at a rate based on LIBOR or the Base Rate, as defined, plus an applicable margin as set forth in the loan agreement (2.75% and 1.75%, respectively, for LIBOR and Base Rate borrowings at March 31, 2013). The facility is subject to certain mandatory prepayment provisions and restrictive and financial covenants, which include a maximum ratio limit on Total Leverage and a minimum ratio limit on Fixed Charge Coverage, as defined, as well as a minimum liquidity level. The weighted-average interest rates on the Senior Term Loan and Revolving Facility were 2.96% and 5.00%, respectively, at March 31, 2013, and the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2013.

In connection with the Senior Credit Facility, H&H Group entered into an interest rate swap agreement in February 2013 to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Under the interest rate swap, the Company receives one-month LIBOR in exchange for a fixed interest rate of 0.569% over the life of the agreement on an initial $56.4 million notional amount of debt, with the notional amount decreasing by $1.1 million, $1.8 million and $2.2 million per quarter in 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The agreement expires in February 2016.

Subordinated Notes

On March 26, 2013, H&H Group instructed Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as trustee and collateral agent, to deliver an irrevocable notice of H&H Group's election to redeem all of its outstanding 10% subordinated secured notes due 2017 ("Subordinated Notes") to the holders of the Subordinated Notes. Pursuant to the terms of that certain amended and restated indenture, dated as of December 13, 2010, as amended ("Indenture"), by and among H&H Group, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo, as trustee and collateral agent, H&H Group has instructed Wells Fargo to redeem, on April 25, 2013, approximately $31.8 million principal amount of Subordinated Notes, representing all of the outstanding Subordinated Notes, at a redemption price equal to 112.6% of the principal amount and accrued but unpaid payment-in-kind-interest thereof, plus accrued and unpaid cash interest. The Subordinated Notes are part of a unit ("Unit"), and each Unit consists of (i) Subordinated Notes and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company ("Warrants"). Until October 14, 2013, the Subordinated Notes and Warrants which comprise the Unit are not detachable, and accordingly, all Units are also being redeemed. On March 26, 2013, H&H Group irrevocably deposited with Wells Fargo funds totaling $36.9 million for such redemption and interest payment in order to satisfy and discharge its obligations under the Indenture from both a legal and accounting perspective. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 includes a $5.7 million loss associated with the redemption of the Subordinated Notes, including the redemption premium and the write-off of remaining deferred finance costs and unamortized debt discounts.
