ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 9, 2016, Bristol Metals, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Bristol Metals”) and a subsidiary of Synalloy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Synalloy”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Marcegaglia USA, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“MUSA”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the APA, Bristol Metals will acquire MUSA’s welded stainless steel pipe and tube operations in Munhall, Pennsylvania (the “Business”). Bristol Metals will not acquire MUSA’s assets relating to its ongoing galvanized and ornamental tubing operations. At closing, Bristol Metals will enter into a facility lease with MUSA to continue operating the Business at the Munhall, Pennsylvania facility. The parties’ obligations to consummate the transaction are subject to, among other things, regulatory approval, if required, and certain customary asset purchase closing conditions and termination rights. Subject to all of the conditions to closing, the transaction is expected to close on or by March 1, 2017.
The purchase price for the all-cash acquisition is estimated to be $13 million, which amount could be adjusted up or down depending on the inventory count and valuation to be conducted just prior to closing. MUSA will also receive quarterly earn-out payments for a period of four years following closing. Pursuant to the APA, aggregate earn-out payments will be at least $3 million, with no maximum. Actual payouts will equate to three percent (3%) of Bristol Metals’ incremental revenue, if any, from the amount of small diameter stainless steel pipe and tube (outside diameter of ten inches or less) sold.
Synalloy will fund the acquisition with a draw against its recently closed $45 million asset based line of credit with Branch Banking and Trust Company.
The description of the APA contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the APA. The Company will file the APA with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to its next Annual Report on Form 10-K.
A copy of the press release announcing the execution of the APA is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
