US Debt

On August 27, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with various lenders (the “Lenders”) and letter of credit issuers (each, an “L/C Issuer”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), swing line lender and an L/C Issuer, providing for various senior secured credit facilities (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) comprised of a $65 million senior secured term loan, a $70.5 million senior secured U.S. dollar revolving credit facility for U.S. dollar revolving loans with sub-facilities for letters of credit and swing-line loans, and a $19.5 million senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility for U.S. dollar and specific foreign currency loans. The Company has the option to obtain additional commitments for either the U.S. dollar revolving credit facility or the term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $30 million.

Concurrent with the closing of the Mergers (as defined below in Note 15), the Company borrowed $65 million in term loans and $52 million in U.S. dollar revolving loans and used the proceeds to (i) finance the cash portion of the Mergers, (ii) pay off certain outstanding indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries (including certain indebtedness of Met-Pro and its subsidiaries), and (iii) pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Mergers. As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate principal amount of approximately $90 million was outstanding under the credit facilities.

At the Company’s option, revolving loans and the term loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on either:

 

    the Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (“Base Rate Loans”); or

 

    the Eurocurrency Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (“Eurocurrency Loans”).

Swing line loans may only be Base Rate Loans.

“Base Rate” means the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Agent’s prime lending rate, and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%.

“Eurocurrency Rate” means, for any period of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months selected by the Company (each such period, an “Interest Period”), (i) in the case of a loan denominated in Dollars, Euro, Sterling, Swiss Franc or Yen, the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or a comparable or successor rate approved by the Administrative Agent, as published on the applicable Reuters screen page (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, for deposits in the relevant currency (for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such period; and (ii) in the case of loans denoted in other foreign currencies, the rate per annum as designated with respect to such currency at the time such currency was approved by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement or, if such rate is unavailable on any date of determination for any reason, a comparable or successor rate approved by the Administrative Agent.

 

Accrued interest on Base Rate Loans is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Interest on Eurocurrency Loans is payable on the last date of each applicable Interest Period (but in no event less than once every three months) and at maturity. The Company also paid $2,730 of other customary closing fees, arrangement fees, administration fees, letter of credit fees and commitment fees for the Credit Agreement of this size and type. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until August 27, 2018, at which time all amounts borrowed pursuant to the revolving credit facility must be repaid.

The term loans will be repaid quarterly at the end of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, in twelve installments of $1.2 million each, followed by four installments of $1.6 million each, followed by three installments of $2.0 million each, with the remaining balance being due and owing on August 27, 2018. The term loans are subject to mandatory prepayment under certain circumstances, including in connection with, and subject to certain reinvestment rights, the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ receipt of net proceeds from certain issuances of indebtedness, sales of assets, and casualty events. The Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and such guaranty obligations are secured by a security interest on substantially all of the assets of such subsidiaries, including certain real property. The Credit Agreement may also be guaranteed by the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries to the extent no adverse tax consequences would result to the Company.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, pay certain dividends or distributions, repurchase stock, incur indebtedness, make loans, make investments or acquisitions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, make capital expenditures, enter into certain restrictive agreements affecting its subsidiaries, and enter into certain negative pledge arrangements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a Credit Agreement of this size and type. The Company is also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated leverage ratio of less than 2.75 and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of more than 1.25.

The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default that include, among other things, non-payment defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, non-compliance with ERISA laws and regulations, defaults under the security documents or guaranties, material judgment defaults, invalidity of the Credit Agreement and related guarantee and security documents, change of management and a change of control default. Under certain circumstances, the occurrence of an event of default could result in an increased interest rate equal to 2.0% above the applicable interest rate for loans, the acceleration of the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement and an obligation of the subsidiary guarantors to repay the full amount of the Company’s borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants, and we expect continued compliance. In the future, if we cannot comply with the terms of the Credit Facility covenants it will be necessary for us to obtain a waiver or renegotiate our loan covenants, and there can be no assurance that such negotiations would be successful.

In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between the Company and its US corporate affiliates and Fifth Third Bank entered into August 17, 2010, effective date June 30, 2010 (as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and all related loan documents and collateral documents were terminated effective August 27, 2013, and all amounts outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and related loan documents and collateral documents, including the outstanding principal balance, were paid in full.
