Item 1.03

Bankruptcy or Receivership.

 

As previously disclosed, on November 17, 2017, Real Industry, Inc. (the “Company”), Real Alloy Intermediate Holding, LLC (“RAIH”), Real Alloy Holding, Inc. (“Real Alloy”) and certain of Real Alloy’s wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries (collectively with RAIH and the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered under the caption “In re Real Industry, Inc., et al.”, Case No. 17-12464, in the Bankruptcy Court (the “Chapter 11 Proceedings”). The Debtors continue to operate their business and manage their properties as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions and orders of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

RELY DIP Facility

 

On December 21, 2017, in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings,  the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Goldman Sachs & Co., LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), pursuant to which Goldman Sachs or one or more of its affiliates  (collectively, the “Lender”) has agreed to provide up to an aggregate $4 million in senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession financing (the “RELY DIP Facility”) to the Company on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter and the definitive documentation to be negotiated, executed and delivered by the Company and Lender related to the Commitment Letter, including note purchase, security, collateral and guarantee agreements (collectively, the “RELY DIP Documents”).  

 

On December 27, 2017, the Debtors filed a motion seeking approval of the Bankruptcy Court of the RELY DIP Facility on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter and the RELY DIP Documents (to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the hearing on such motion), as well as approval to execute the RELY DIP Documents, and perform under the terms of the Commitment Letter and RELY DIP Documents. The Company anticipates the hearing of the Bankruptcy Court on such motion will be held on or about January 17, 2018.

 

Lender’s obligation to provide the RELY DIP Facility is subject to various conditions customary for debtor-in-possession financing of this type, including (i) entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court, in form satisfactory to the Lender, approving the Company’s execution and performance of the Commitment Letter and the RELY DIP Documents (such order, the “DIP Order”), (ii) execution of the RELY DIP Documents, (iii) no Material Adverse Change (as defined in the Commitment Letter) between the date of the Commitment Letter and the DIP Closing Date (defined below), (iv)  satisfaction of various conditions precedent described in the Commitment Letter, including the Company’s and Lender’s execution and delivery of the RELY DIP Documents substantially consistent with the Commitment Letter and acceptable to the parties, (v) payment to Lender’s counsel of the first $50,000 installment of fees and expenses of Lender in connection with this Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated thereby, (vi) Lender’s completion of its financial, legal, accounting and tax diligence with the respect to the Company and the RELY DIP Facility by January 17, 2018, (vii) Lender’s receipt of its internal approvals by January 17, 2018,  and (viii) the Company’s delivery to Lender of a budget acceptable to Lender. If such conditions are met, the closing date for the RELY DIP Facility (the “DIP Closing Date”) is scheduled to occur within three business days of the entry of the DIP Order. Lender’s obligation to provide the RELY DIP Facility and otherwise perform under the Commitment Letter will terminate on the earliest to occur of (x) January 22, 2018 at 11:59 pm New York City time, if the DIP Closing Date has not occurred by such date, (y) the Company’s entry into an agreement or request for approval of the Bankruptcy Court for any debtor-in-possession financing or equity investment except as contemplated by the Commitment Letter, or (z) the Company’s material breach of the Commitment Letter. 

 

Lender will make available the funds under the RELY DIP Facility in accordance with the initial budget agreed upon between the Company and Lender, to be updated on a monthly basis, or more frequently at Lender’s request (the “Budget”).  The Company’s variance from the Budget cannot exceed 10% for various operating categories, ordinary course professionals and the Company’s discontinued operations, tested on a rolling four-week basis beginning one week following the DIP Order and each week thereafter, with certain exceptions as set forth in the Commitment Letter (including cash receipts, fees of Lender and its professionals, and certain insurance premiums).

 

The RELY DIP Facility will mature, and the Company must pay and otherwise fulfill its obligations thereunder, on the date

 


 

that is the earliest to occur (such earliest date, the “Maturity Date”) of (a) November 17, 2018 (one year following the date of filing of the Debtors’ bankruptcy petition; the “Stated Maturity Date”); (b) the effective date of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization for the Company that is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court; or (c) the acceleration of the RELY DIP Financing and related termination of the commitments thereunder, including as a result of an Event of Default  (as defined in the Commitment Letter) or default under the DIP Order. 

 

Interest on the amounts borrowed under the RELY DIP Facility will accrue and be payable monthly at a rate of 12% per annum; an additional 2.00% per annum will apply during the continuance of an Event of Default, payable monthly.

 

The Company may, at its option, elect to repay amounts borrowed under the RELY DIP Facility by providing advance notice to Lender and by paying the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the borrowing under the RELY DIP Facility to be repaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, plus an amount (the “Make-Whole Amount”) that is the greater of (1) 2.0% of the repayment amount and (2) the amount equal to the difference between (x) the aggregate amount of interest that would have been paid in respect of the repayment amount between the repayment date and the Maturity Date and (y) the aggregate amount of interest Lender would earn if it reinvested the repayment amount for the same time period at the Treasury Rate (to be defined in the RELY DIP Documents) plus 50 basis points. In certain limited circumstances as agreed by the parties, the Make-Whole Amount shall only be 2.0% of the repayment amount.

 

Upon the occurrence of certain mandatory repayment events, including the issuance of debt or equity securities other than in connection with the Commitment Letter or an asset sale, catastrophic event or extraordinary receipt, with exceptions to be agreed by the parties, the Company shall pay the net proceeds of such event in the same manner as it may make an optional repayment, including accrued and unpaid interest and the Make-Whole Amount, as applicable. Once the Company has repaid or prepaid any amounts under the RELY DIP Facility, such amounts may not be reborrowed.

 

The obligations of the Company under the Commitment Letter and RELY DIP Documents will have priority over all other allowed Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 administrative expenses under the Bankruptcy Code, subject to a carveout as specified in the DIP Order, and shall be secured by liens on and security interests in assets and property of the Company. The proceeds of the RELY DIP Facility will be used by the Company, as permitted by the DIP Order, the Budget, and the RELY DIP Documents, for general working capital, operational expenses and restructuring expenses. Neither proceeds nor amounts for administrative claims carved out for priority status over the RELY DIP Financing or other amounts may be used for the Company to assert claims against Lender. In addition, the Company’s obligations under the RELY DIP Facility are being guaranteed by certain of the Company’s direct subsidiaries that are not Chapter 11 debtors.

 

Lender will provide the entirety of the RELY DIP Facility, without co-lender, agent, or co-agent, nor will Lender syndicate the financing. Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Company has terminated all discussions with other potential financing providers and has agreed that prior to entry of an order approving the RELY DIP Financing it shall not directly or indirectly engage or solicit alternative financing proposals, commitments or other agreements to provide debt or equity financing in lieu of, inconsistent with, or reasonably expected to interfere with the RELY DIP Facility if Lender is ready, willing and able to perform substantially on the terms and conditions in the Commitment Letter.

 

In consideration of Lender’s provision of the RELY DIP Facility and the Equity Commitment (defined below),  on the DIP Closing Date, the Company will pay a fee of $300,000 and issue shares of the Company’s common stock to Lender equal to 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock in a private placement. The Company will provide customary registration rights for such shares. The Company will also pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Lender in connection with the matters contemplated by the Commitment Letter, including legal, accounting or other professional fees, in connection with the Commitment Letter,  transactions contemplated thereby, and the preparation of the RELY DIP Documents.

 

Equity Commitment

 

In addition to the RELY DIP Financing, under the Commitment Letter, Lender has committed to purchase shares of common stock on the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization for up to $10 million, such that following such purchase, Lender will own 45 – 49% (to be determined by the parties based on applicable tax limitations) of the common stock of the reorganized Company, inclusive of the number of shares issued to Lender on the DIP Closing Date (the “Equity Commitment”).

 

Lender’s obligation to provide the Equity Commitment will be subject to the satisfaction of conditions to be set forth in the RELY DIP Documents. which will include, among other conditions customary for this type of investment,  (i) the entry of an order in form acceptable to the Lender (such order, the “Confirmation Order”) by the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan of Reorganization (as defined below) and documents related thereto; (ii)  adoption of new governance documents and related

 


 

documentation satisfactory to Lender,  including articles of incorporation and bylaws, shareholders agreement, registration rights agreement, and related documents and policies, which will include, among other items, (a) a requirement of up to 55% shareholder approval for certain transactions (including incurrence of, guarantee of obligations of, or liens for material indebtedness, issuance of common or preferred stock, or making prohibited restricted payments), (b) a structure of the board of directors of the reorganized Company reflective of Lender’s stock ownership (including at least one independent director appointed by Lender) and satisfactory to Lender, (c) independent board member approval for certain transactions, (d) requirement of written approval by the board of directors (which approval shall not be provided without Lender’s prior written consent) for any transfer of stock by or to any shareholder who owns or would own 4.75% of the outstanding common stock, and (e) a right of first refusal for Lender with respect to any financing for the Company’s acquisition activities for the two-year period following the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization; (iii) satisfaction of certain tax-related conditions, including no material impairment of the availability of any tax attributes;  (iv) the non-occurrence of any event of default under the RELY DIP Facility and the repayment in cash in full of all amounts borrowed thereunder; and (v) the retention, disposition or abandonment of the Company’s subsidiaries in a manner satisfactory to Lender. In the event that the Company does not proceed with the Equity Commitment with Lender, the Company shall be obligated to pay a break-up fee of $450,000.

 

 

The Commitment Letter includes covenants requiring achievement of certain milestones related to the RELY DIP Facility and Equity Commitment (“DIP Milestones”), in each case to be satisfied satisfactorily to Lender, including: (i) the parties’ execution of the RELY DIP Documents on or before January 15, 2018; (ii) the Company’s filing, in each case in form acceptable to Lender, of the plan of reorganization (such plan, the “Plan of Reorganization”) and related disclosure statement (such disclosure statement, the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court on or before January 31, 2018; (iii) entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court approving the Disclosure Statement on or before March 7, 2018 (subject to court availability); (iv) the parties’ execution of definitive documents related to the Equity Commitment no later than five days prior to the hearing of the Bankruptcy Court to consider confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization; (v) entry of the Confirmation Order on or before April 13, 2018; and (vi) the Company’s satisfaction of all conditions to consummate the Plan of Reorganization no later than ten days after the entry of the Confirmation Order.  

 

The RELY DIP Documents will contain representations and warranties, conditions precedent, negative covenants, affirmative covenants, events of default, indemnification and release provisions, and other terms consistent with the Commitment Letter and customary for a financing of this type.  

 

The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter and the RELY DIP Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Commitment Letter filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cautionary Note Regarding the Company’s Common Stock

 

The Company cautions that trading in its securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Proceedings is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of such securities in the Chapter 11 Proceedings.

 

Additional Information on the Chapter 11 Proceedings 

 

Court filings and other information related to the court-supervised proceedings are available at a website administered by the Company’s claims agent, Prime Clerk, at https://cases.primeclerk.com/realindustry.  Additional information on Real Industry can be found at its website www.realindustryinc.com.  

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, which are based on our current expectations, estimates, and projections about the businesses and prospects of the Company, Real Alloy and their subsidiaries (“we” or “us”), as well as management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by management. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “should,” “will” and variations of these words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements speak only as of the date hereof and are subject to change. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements discuss, among other matters: our financial and operational results, as well as our expectations for future financial trends and performance of our business in future periods; our strategy; risks and uncertainties associated with Chapter 11 proceedings; the negative impacts on our businesses as a result of filing for and operating under Chapter 11 protection; the time, terms and ability to confirm a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization for our businesses; the adequacy of the

 


 

capital resources of our businesses and the difficulty in forecasting the liquidity requirements of the operations of our businesses; the unpredictability of our financial results while in Chapter 11 proceedings; our ability to discharge claims in Chapter 11 proceedings; negotiations with the holders of Real Alloy’s Senior Secured Notes, its asset-based facility lender, and its trade creditors; risks and uncertainties with performing under the terms of the Debtors’ debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing arrangements and any other arrangement with lenders or creditors while in Chapter 11 proceedings; the Debtors’ ability to operate our businesses within the terms of our respective DIP financing arrangements;  the forecasted uses of funds in the Debtors’ DIP budgets; the impact of Real Alloy’s Chief Restructuring Officer on its restructuring efforts and negotiations with creditors and other stakeholders in the Chapter 11 proceedings; our ability to retain employees, suppliers and customers as a result of Chapter 11 proceedings; Real Alloy’s ability to conduct business as usual in the United States and worldwide; Real Alloy’s ability to continue to serve customers, suppliers and other business partners at the high level of service and performance they have come to expect from Real Alloy; our ability to continue to pay suppliers and vendors;  our ability to fund ongoing business operations through the applicable DIP financing arrangements; the use of the funds anticipated to be received in the DIP financing arrangements;  the ability to control costs during Chapter 11 proceedings; the risk that our Chapter 11 proceedings may be converted to cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; the ability of the Company to preserve and utilize the NOLs following Chapter 11 proceedings; the Company’s ability to secure operating capital; the Company’s ability to take advantage of opportunities to acquire assets with upside potential; the Company’s ability to execute on its strategic plan to evaluate and close potential M&A opportunities; our long-term outlook; our preparation for future market conditions; and any statements or assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

 

Important factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the decisions of the bankruptcy court; negotiations with Real Alloy’s debtholders,  our creditors and any committee approved by the bankruptcy court;  negotiations with lenders on the definitive DIP financing documents; the Company’s ability to meet the closing conditions of its DIP financing; the Debtors’ ability to meet the requirements, and compliance with the terms, including restrictive covenants, of their respective DIP financing arrangements and any other financial arrangement while in Chapter 11 proceedings; changes in our operational or cash needs from the assumptions underlying our DIP budgets and forecasts; changes in our cash needs as compared to our historical operations or our planned reductions in operating expense; adverse litigation; changes in domestic and international demand for recycled aluminum; the cyclical nature and general health of the aluminum industry and related industries; commodity and scrap price fluctuations and our ability to enter into effective commodity derivatives or arrangements to effectively manage our exposure to such commodity price fluctuations; inventory risks, commodity price risks, and energy risks associated with Real Alloy’s buy/sell business model; the impact of tariffs and trade regulations on our operations; the impact of the recently approved U.S. tax legislation and any other changes in U.S. or non-U.S. tax laws on our operations or the value of our NOLs; our ability to successfully identify, acquire and integrate additional companies and businesses that perform and meet expectations after completion of such acquisitions; our ability to achieve future profitability; our ability to control operating costs and other expenses; that general economic conditions may be worse than expected; that competition may increase significantly; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting our current business operations and/or our legacy businesses, as well as those risks and uncertainties disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Real Industry, Inc.’s Forms 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 10, 2017, August 8, 2017 and November 9, 2017 and Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2017, and similar disclosures in subsequent reports filed with the SEC.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (or one of its affiliates) (“Goldman Sachs” or the “Commitment Party”), is pleased to confirm the arrangements under which the Commitment Party commits to provide financing to Real Industry, Inc. (the “Borrower” or “you”) as described herein, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this letter and the attached Exhibits A through G hereto (collectively, this “Commitment Letter”). To the extent not defined in the body of this Commitment Letter, each capitalized term used in this Commitment Letter shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Term Sheet attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Term Sheet”).

You have informed us that the Borrower desires to, in accordance with this Commitment Letter:

i.

enter into a senior secured superiority debtor-in-possession note (the “RELY DIP Facility”) which will be provided to the Borrower after the entry date of the DIP Order in an aggregate amount not to exceed $4,000,000; and

ii.

issue to the Commitment Party on the Effective Date an amount of common stock in the Reorganized Borrower such that the Commitment Party shall own, or have the right to own, 45-49% of such common stock as of such date (after taking into account a distribution of any common stock in the Reorganized Borrower to Goldman on account of the Upfront Fee) upon payment of a purchase price of $10,000,000 (the “Equity Commitment”)1;

in each case, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions to be specified in the RELY DIP Documents, including, without limitation, those conditions described in the Commitment Letter.


1The purchase price of $10.0 million assumes that Goldman would acquire 49% of the outstanding stock and will be adjusted downward in the event that Goldman acquires less than 49% of the stock.

 


 

The proceeds of the RELY DIP Facility are expected to be used, in accordance with the Budget, Term Sheet and the RELY DIP Documents, as applicable, to fund general working capital and operational expenses and restructuring expenses of the Borrower.

1.

2.

Conditions Precedent.

The Commitment Party’s commitment and agreement hereunder, including without limitation the Equity Commitment, are subject to the entry of an order by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) approving the Borrower’s execution, delivery and performance of this Commitment Letter.

REMEDIES:

Among other remedies to be specified in the RELY DIP Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Lender may suspend the availability of the RELY DIP Financing and, after giving five business days’  notice to the Borrower and the Guarantors (the “Remedies Notice Period”), which notice may be given simultaneously to the Bankruptcy Court, the automatic stay provided in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed automatically vacated without further action or order of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Lender, after the Remedies Notice Period, shall have relief from the automatic stay to exercise remedies under the RELY DIP Documents, including relief to foreclose on all or any portion of the security for the RELY DIP Financing, collect accounts receivable and apply the proceeds thereof to the DIP Obligations or otherwise exercise remedies against the Collateral permitted by applicable non-bankruptcy law. During the Remedies Notice Period, the Borrower shall be entitled to seek an emergency hearing before the Bankruptcy Court; provided that the only issue that may be raised at such hearing shall be whether an Event of Default has in fact occurred and is continuing. Subject to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Lender shall also have the authority to credit bid all or a portion of the amounts owed under the RELY DIP Financing, whether pursuant to a sale under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, a plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, but only to the extent the DIP Obligations have been discharged concurrently with the consummation of the transactions in respect of such credit bid.

 

 

EMERGENCE:

In connection with the RELY DIP Financing, Goldman shall commit to purchase on the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”) an amount of common stock in the Reorganized Borrower such that Goldman shall own, or have the right to own, 45-49%2 of such common stock as of such date (after taking into account a distribution of any common stock in the Reorganized Borrower to Goldman on account of the Upfront Fee) for a purchase price of $10.00 million3 (the “Equity Commitment”), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions to be specified in the RELY DIP Documents, including without limitation, (i) the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order, acceptable to Goldman, confirming the Plan and shall have approved all documents relating thereto, which documents shall be acceptable to Goldman; (ii) adoption of new governance documents and approval of related documents by the Reorganized Borrower acceptable to Goldman, including (a) articles of incorporation and by-laws that provide usual and customary rights for transactions of this kind, including among

 


2Final amount to be determined based on applicable tax limitations.

3Purchase price shall be used, among other things, to pay in full any amounts owned to Lender under the RELY DIP Financing. The purchase price amount of $10.0 million assumes that Goldman acquires 49% of the stock in Reorganized Borrower and will be adjusted downward in the event that Goldman acquires less than 49% of the stock.

other things, (1) requirements for 55%4 shareholder approval for certain transactions (e.g., incurrence or guarantee of any material indebtedness for borrowed money, incurrence of any liens in respect of the same, issuance of common or preferred stock,  making of any prohibited restricted payments), (2) board structure and composition to be agreed, which generally reflects the relative share ownership of Goldman and as reasonably acceptable to Goldman, including the appointment of at least one independent board member, (3) requirement for such independent board member’s approval for certain types of transactions (e.g., material transactions, waiver of stock transfer restrictions described below),  and (4) requirement that any transfer of stock in the Reorganized Borrower by or to a 4.75% holder of such stock (defined as appropriate for purposes of avoiding an “ownership change” of the Reorganized Borrower within the meaning of section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code) shall be null and void ab initio unless specifically approved in writing by board of directors of the Reorganized Borrower (which board may not provide such approval without the prior written consent of Goldman), (b) a new Shareholder Agreement between and among the Lender, the Borrower and the shareholders of the Reorganized Borrower (the “Shareholders”) and a registration rights agreement between and among the Lender and the Reorganized Borrower, that provide usual and customary rights for transactions of this kind, including among other things drag and tag rights, and (c) a right of first refusal to Goldman with respect to any financing for the Borrower’s acquisition activities for the two-year period following the Effective Date (and certain fees to be agreed among the parties prior to the Effective Date); (iii) no material impairment of the assets of the Borrower including with respect to the availability of any tax attributes of the Borrower after the Petition Date; (iv) no Change of Control (to be defined in the RELY DIP Documents); (v) the receipt by Lender of customary opinions of counsel for a transaction of this kind, including an opinion from nationally recognized tax counsel or a “Big 4” accounting firm regarding the reorganization of the Borrower in connection with the Plan; (vi) the absence of any events that would be an Event of Default under the RELY DIP Financing; (vii) the payment in full in cash of all amounts due under the RELY DIP Financing; and (viii) all direct and indirect subsidiaries of Borrower shall either be retained by Borrower or disposed of or abandoned by Borrower in a manner acceptable to Goldman.  In the event that the Reorganized Borrower determines not to proceed with the equity purchase transaction contemplated by this paragraph, Goldman shall be entitled to the Break-Up Fee.

 


4The supermajority voting requirement of 55% for certain transactions assumes that Goldman acquires 49% of stock and will be adjusted downward if Goldman acquires less than 49% of the stock.
