On November 21, 2014, Synalloy entered into a Fourth Amendment to First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”). The description of such amendment is set forth in Item 2.03 of this report and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
Section 2 - Financial Information
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On November 21, 2014, Synalloy completed the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Specialty from Davidson. Established in 1964 with distribution centers in Mineral Ridge, Ohio and Houston, Texas, Specialty is a master distributor of seamless carbon pipe, with a focus on heavy wall, large diameter products.
The purchase price for the all-cash acquisition was $31,500,000, subject to working capital adjustments post-closing. Davidson will also have the potential to receive earn-out payments up to a total of $5,000,000 if Specialty achieves targeted sales revenue over a two year period following closing.
At the closing of the transaction, Specialty and Synalloy also entered into employment agreements with Steve Baroff, Dianne Beck and Chris Sitka, respectively, the members of Specialty’s management team.
The purchase price for the Specialty acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand, a new term loan with BB&T, and an increase in Synalloy’s current credit facility with BB&T.
A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2014, between Synalloy and Davidson is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release, dated November 24, 2014, announcing the Specialty acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off- Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
In connection with the Specialty acquisition discussed in Item 2.01 above, on November 21, 2014, Synalloy entered into a Fourth Amendment to First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with BB&T (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which BB&T increased the limit of the existing line of credit facility by $15,000,000 to a maximum of $40,000,000, and extended the maturity date to November 21, 2017. Interest on the Credit Agreement continues to be calculated using the One Month LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a pre-defined spread, based on Synalloy’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
BB&T extended a new five-year term loan to Synalloy in the amount of $10,000,000 that requires equal monthly payments of $166,666.67 plus interest through November 21, 2019. The interest rate on the term loan is LIBOR plus 1.90 percent.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Synalloy was required to pledge all of its tangible and intangible properties, including the acquired stock and assets of Specialty. Covenants under the Credit Agreement include maintaining a certain Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. Synalloy will also be limited to a maximum amount of capital expenditures per year, which is in line with the Synalloy’s currently projected needs. Management does not believe that these covenants and restrictions will have an adverse effect on its operations.
A copy of the Fourth Amendment to First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2014, between Synalloy and BB&T is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
