Acquisition of Baldor
On October 7, 2013, a subsidiary of the Company announced the signing of a purchase agreement with Baldor Electric Company (“Baldor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ABB Group, to acquire substantially all of the assets of Baldor’s generator products division (“Baldor Generators”). Located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Baldor Generators offers a complete line of portable, mobile, standby and prime power generators ranging from 3kW to 2.5MW throughout North America.  The transaction closed on November 1, 2013.

Since the acquisition did not close prior to September 30, 2013, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the acquisition, although certain transactions costs relating to the acquisition are included in other expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

New Interest Rate Swaps
The Company entered into two new interest rate swap agreements on October 23, 2013.  The effective date of the first swap is July 1, 2014 with a notional amount of $100,000, a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.7370% and an expiration date of July 1, 2018. The effective date of the second swap is July 1, 2014 with a notional amount of $100,000, a fixed LIBOR rate of 1.7419% and an expiration date of July 1, 2018. Both swaps agreements require the counterparty to pay interest based upon a three month LIBOR rate subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%.
