Subsequent Event:

 

On October 1, 2021, the Company acquired all of the net assets of Shaw Stainless & Alloy, Inc. (Shaw), based in Powder Springs, Georgia for $12.0 million.  Shaw is a full-line distributor of stainless steel sheet, pipe, tube, bar and angles. Shaw also manufactures and distributes stainless steel bollards and water treatment systems. The acquisition includes Shaw's stainless-steel distribution and fabrication businesses as well as its architectural and barrier defense businesses.

 

The acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed valued at fair market value.  The acquisition is not considered significant and Shaw’s results will be included in the Company’s specialty metals flat products segment beginning in the Company’s fourth quarter of 2021 financial results.  Upon the acquisition, the Company entered into an amendment to include the eligible assets of Shaw in its ABL Credit Facility.
