Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

 

On October 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which may be amended from time to time (as amended, the “2015 Credit Agreement”). Under the 2015 Credit Agreement, the amount of the Company’s prior revolving credit facility was increased to $350 million (as amended, the “2015 Revolving Credit Facility”). The amounts available under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and to repay existing indebtedness. The stated maturity of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is October 22, 2020.

The amounts available under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility may be drawn upon in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. All amounts outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are due on the stated maturity or such earlier time, if any, required under the 2015 Credit Agreement. The amounts owed under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time, subject to usual notification and breakage payment provisions. Interest on the amounts outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is calculated using either an ABR Rate or Eurodollar Rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for Eurodollar Loans are between 1.25% to 2.00%, and for ABR Loans are between 0.25% and 1.00%. The amounts of the margins are calculated based on either a consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement), or the then applicable rating(s) of the Company’s debt and then to the extent as provided in the 2015 Credit Agreement. The rate at December 31, 2015 was 1.5%. A portion of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility may also be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies. The 2015 Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, will require the Borrowers (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement) to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement), require the Company to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, limit maximum annual capital expenditures, and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The 2015 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

On October 21, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the 2015 Credit Agreement (the “October 2016 Amendment”).  The October 2016 Amendment, which became effective upon the closing of the Stromag Acquisition on December 30, 2016, increased the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility by $75 million to $425 million. The Company used additional borrowings under the increased 2015 Revolving Credit Facility to finance the Stromag Acquisition. In addition, the October 2016 Amendment increased the multicurrency sublimit to $250 million and adjusted certain financial covenants. The pricing terms and maturity date under the 2015 Credit Agreement remain unchanged. The Company paid $0.6 million in fees in connection with the October 2016 Amendment, which is recorded in other non-current assets.

As of June 30, 2018, we had $249.2 million outstanding on our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility including $236.9 million outstanding on our USD tranche at an interest rate of 3.6% and €10.5 million or $12.3 million outstanding on our Euro tranche at an interest rate of 2.10%. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, we had $4.3 million and $3.5 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. We had $171.5 million available to borrow under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2018 and have the ability to increase the facility by an additional $150 million under certain circumstances.

Commitment Letter

On March 7, 2018, the Company and Fortive Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Fortive”), agreed to enter into a transaction (the “Fortive Transaction”) pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of certain definitive agreements, (1) Fortive will transfer certain assets and liabilities constituting a portion of its Automation & Specialty Platform (the “A&S Business”) to a newly created wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortive (“Newco”) and will cause any applicable subsidiaries of Fortive to convey to Fortive or its designated subsidiary (other than Newco or any of Newco’s subsidiaries) certain excluded assets and liabilities (the “Separation”); (2) Fortive will contribute all equity interests in each such subsidiary of Fortive holding assets and liabilities of the A&S Business to Newco in exchange for (i) a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Newco (the “Newco Common Stock”), (ii) securities representing indebtedness of Newco in an aggregate principal amount determined pursuant to such definitive agreements (the “Newco Securities”) and (iii) a cash dividend in an aggregate amount determined pursuant to such definitive agreements (the “Cash Dividend”); (3) Fortive will distribute to its stockholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of Newco Common Stock held by Fortive, at Fortive’s option, by way of an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) or a pro rata dividend, or a combination thereof (the “Distribution”) and (4) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and into Newco (the “Merger”), with Newco surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and with the issued and outstanding shares of Newco Common Stock converted in the Merger into shares of common stock of the Company. In addition, as part of the Fortive Transaction, Fortive will transfer (the “Direct Sales”) certain non-U.S. assets, liabilities and entities of the A&S Business to certain subsidiaries of the Company, and the Company’s subsidiaries will assume substantially all of the liabilities associated with the transferred assets. 

In connection with the Fortive Transaction, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), under which Goldman Sachs Bank USA committed to provide to the Company up to $1,340 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loans (the “GS Term Loans”) and a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “GS Revolving Loans” and, together with the GS Term Loans, the “GS Loans”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter. The proceeds of the GS Term Loans will be used, together with cash on hand of the Company or its subsidiaries (if necessary), to, among other things, (i) consummate the Direct Sales, (ii) repay in full and extinguish all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money under the 2015 Credit Agreement and (iii) pay certain fees, costs and expenses in connection with the consummation of the Fortive Transaction.

The commitments under the Commitment Letter are subject to customary closing conditions. All obligations of the Company with respect to the GS Loans will be guaranteed by each direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, and following the effective time of the Merger, by Newco and its direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions.

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2011, the Company issued convertible senior notes (the “Convertible Notes”) due March 1, 2031. The Convertible Notes were guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Convertible Notes was payable semi-annually in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2011 at an annual rate of 2.75%. Proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering were $81.3 million, net of fees and expenses that were capitalized.

On December 12, 2016 the Company gave notice to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture governing the Convertible Notes of its intention to redeem all of the Convertible Notes outstanding on January 12, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”), pursuant to the optional redemption provisions in the Indenture. The redemption price for the Convertible Notes was 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date plus a Make-Whole Premium equal to the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest on any Convertible Notes through March 1, 2018 (excluding interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date).  In lieu of receiving the redemption price, holders of the Notes could surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at any time before January 9, 2017. The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes was 39.0809 shares of the Company’s common stock, for each $1,000 of outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2016, Convertible Notes with an outstanding principal amount of approximately $39.3 million were surrendered for conversion, resulting in the issuance of 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the conversion, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.9 million and the carrying value of the remaining Convertible Notes was $42.9 million net of unamortized discount as of December 31, 2016. In January 2017, additional Convertible Notes with an outstanding principal amount of approximately $44.7 million were converted resulting in the issuance of 1.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, and $0.9 million of Convertible Notes were redeemed for cash. The Company incurred an additional loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. All Convertible Notes were converted or redeemed as of January 12, 2017.
