Common Unit Repurchase

 

On March 22, 2013, we purchased 31,165.589 common units (the “Unit Repurchase”) from Blackstone Mezzanine Partners II-A L.P. and Blackstone Mezzanine Holdings II USS L.P. (collectively, the “Blackstone Funds”) (representing 100% of the Colt Defense common membership units held by the Blackstone Funds) for an aggregate purchase price of $14.0 million pursuant to an equity purchase agreement dated as of March 22, 2013 (the “Unit Repurchase Agreement”), by and among Colt Defense and the Blackstone Funds. In accordance with the Unit Repurchase Agreement, upon consummation of the Unit Repurchase, the Blackstone Funds delivered the certificates representing the common units held by the Blackstone Funds to Colt Defense for cancellation, and the rights of the Blackstone Funds under our Amended and Restated LLC Agreement, including appointment rights with respect to Colt Defense’s Governing Board, were terminated. The resignation of Vince Lu and Marc Baliotti, the directors appointed to the Governing Board by the Blackstone Funds, was effective upon consummation of the Unit Repurchase. The Unit Repurchase Agreement provided customary releases and indemnities for Colt Defense and the Blackstone Funds and provides that, upon certain events occurring prior to September 22, 2013, including an acquisition of Colt Defense, a purchase by Colt Defense of common units from one of our members or a cash distribution (other than a tax distribution) by Colt Defense to our members, we may be required to pay additional amounts to the Blackstone Funds if the per unit purchase price in such subsequent transaction exceeds the per unit purchase price paid to the Blackstone Funds.

 

Credit Agreement Amendment

 

In connection with the Unit Repurchase, on March 22, 2013, the lenders under the Credit Agreement entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, whereby, among other things, the lenders under the Credit Agreement consented to the transactions pursuant to the Unit Repurchase Agreement.
