20) | Subsequent Events and Pending Acquisition
On July 1, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Implementation Agreement”) to acquire Atotech Limited (“Atotech”), a leading process chemicals technology company and a market leader in advanced electroplating solutions. Pursuant to the Implementation Agreement, the Company agreed to pay $16.20 per share in cash and 0.0552 of a share of MKS common stock for each outstanding common share of Atotech, for total cash and stock consideration of approximately $5,100. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, approval by the Royal Court of Jersey and approval by Atotech’s shareholders. The Company’s obligations to complete the acquisition are not subject to any financing condition. The Company intends to fund the cash portion of the transaction with a combination of available cash on hand and committed term loan debt financing. In connection with entering into the Implementation Agreement, the Company entered into (a) a commitment letter (the “Initial Commitment Letter”), dated as of July 1, 2021, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Barclays Bank PLC (collectively, the “Initial Commitment Parties”) and (b) joinders to the Initial Commitment Letter to add certain additional lender parties (the “Commitment Letter Joinders” and, together with the Initial Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letter”) dated as of July 23, 2021, with the Initial Commitment Parties and the additional lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Supplemental Commitment Parties” and, together with the Initial Commitment Parties, the “Commitment Parties”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Commitment Parties committed to provide (i) a senior secured term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $5,300 (the “New Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility with aggregate total commitments of $500 (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). The New Term Loan Facility and New Revolving Credit Facility would refinance the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility, respectively, and the New Term Loan Facility would be used to finance a portion of the acquisition and to refinance certain existing indebtedness of Atotech. On October 22, 2021, the Company completed the syndication of the New Term Loan Facility, comprised of two tranches: a USD 4,700 loan at LIBOR plus 2.25%, a floor of 0.50% and 0.25% of original issue discount, and a Euro tranche of EUR 500 (approximately USD 600) at EURIBOR plus 2.75%, a floor of 0.00% and 0.25% of original issue discount. The proceeds from the anticipated New Term Loan Facility will be used to finance a portion of the acquisition of Atotech and to repay the existing Term Loan Facility and certain existing indebtedness of Atotech. The Commitment Parties’ obligations under the Commitment Letter and the closing and initial funding under the New Term Loan Facility are subject to certain customary conditions including, without limitation, the consummation of the acquisition of Atotech in accordance with the Implementation Agreement, the accuracy of specified representations and warranties of the Company and other customary closing conditions.
