Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 3, 2004, Antigua Masonry Products, Limited and Antigua Heavy Constructors, Limited (collectively “AMP”), direct and indirect subsidiaries of Devcon International Corp. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement for Satisfaction of Indebtedness and Amendment No. 10 to St. John’s Dredging and Deep Water Pier Construction (the “Satisfaction Agreement”) with the government of Antigua and Barbuda (“Antigua”). Pursuant to the terms of the Satisfaction Agreement, AMP and Antigua agreed to a settlement in which approximately $29 million in debt owed by Antigua to AMP was deemed satisfied in exchange for certain cash payments made to AMP by Antigua as well as remittance of all outstanding tax assessments and other relief from current and future taxes and duties.
As a result of this Satisfaction Agreement and in exchange for the cancellation of the outstanding debt owed to AMP by Antigua, AMP received $11.5 million in cash, a commitment for an additional $937,000 cash over the next few months, a $7.5 million credit toward future withholding taxes incurred by AMP or the Company, plus remittance of all taxes and duties incurred through December 31, 2004.
The Satisfaction Agreement also settles the litigation over a $6 million assessment issued with respect to the Company’s subsidiaries in Antigua.
The foregoing description of the Satisfaction Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Satisfaction Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 3, 2004, AMP entered into the Satisfaction Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Satisfaction Agreement, approximately $29 million in debt owed by Antigua to AMP was deemed satisfied in exchange for certain cash payments made to AMP by Antigua, as well as remittance of all outstanding tax assessments and other relief from current and future taxes and duties. Accordingly, the two notes which evidenced this debt were surrendered by AMP to Antigua and cancelled. AMP incurred no penalties in connection with the cancellation of the notes. Other than in respect of this transaction and the agreements being terminated, there was no material relationship between Antigua and the Company, any of the Company’s affiliates or any of the Company’s officers and directors.
As a result of this Satisfaction Agreement and in exchange for the cancellation of the outstanding debt owed to AMP by Antigua, AMP received $11.5 million in cash, a commitment for an additional $937,000 cash over the next few months, a $7.5 million credit toward future withholding taxes incurred by AMP or the Company, plus remittance of all taxes and duties incurred through December 31, 2004.
The foregoing description of the Satisfaction Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Satisfaction Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
