Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously reported, on August 21, 2018, Malibu Boats, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Malibu”) and an indirect subsidiary of Malibu Boats, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and PB Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”) and a direct subsidiary of Malibu, entered into an agreement to acquire the Pursuit division ("Pursuit") of S2 Yachts, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“S2”) from S2 and Gen 123 Properties, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“Gen123” and together with S2, the “Sellers”) and an affiliate of S2, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated as of August 21, 2018 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Purchaser, Malibu, the Sellers and the principals of S2 named therein (the “Acquisition”).
On October 15, 2018, the Purchaser completed its acquisition of Pursuit and paid an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million. A portion of the purchase price was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain post-closing obligations of the Sellers. The Purchaser paid the purchase price for the Acquisition with $50.0 million of cash on hand and $50.0 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility, as described below.
Pursuit, located in Fort Pierce, Florida, is a leader in the saltwater outboard fishing boat market through its offering of 15 models of offshore, dual console and center console boats.
The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 22, 2018 and is incorporated herein by reference. Certain schedules and annexures to the Asset Purchase Agreement have been omitted pursuant to Item 601(b)(2) of Regulation S-K. The Company agrees to furnish supplementally to the Securities and Exchange Commission a copy of any omitted schedule or annexure upon request.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
As previously disclosed, on August 21, 2018, Malibu, as the borrower, entered into the First Incremental Facility Amendment and First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Malibu, Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC, parent of Malibu and a direct subsidiary of the Company, and certain subsidiaries of Malibu parties thereto, as guarantors, the lenders parties thereto, and SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank.
The Amendment increased the amount available under the revolving credit facility by $50.0 million (the “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) from $35.0 million to $85.0 million. The availability of the Incremental Revolving Commitment was subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Amendment, including the closing of the Acquisition. Malibu was required to pay a ticking fee at a rate of 0.30% per annum on the $50.0 million Incremental Revolving Commitment until the conditions for the lenders to provide the Incremental Revolving Commitment were met, which occurred on October 15, 2018, the closing date of the Acquisition.
In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, on October 15, 2018, the Company borrowed $50.0 million under the Credit Agreement. Revolving loans made pursuant to the Amendment have terms and conditions identical to revolving loans under the Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 22, 2018 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The Company issued a press release on October 15, 2018, announcing the completion of the Acquisition. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
