Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Purchase of Houston Interests, LLC
On December 12, 2016, Matrix PDM Engineering, Inc., (“Matrix PDM”), a subsidiary of Matrix Service Company (the “Company”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of such date (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Matrix PDM, as purchaser, the C. Douglas Houston Revocable Trust U/T/A dated November 21, 2016, as seller, and C. Douglas Houston, an individual and the grantor and trustee of the seller, as seller representative. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Matrix PDM will acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Houston Interests, LLC, a global solutions consulting, engineering, design, construction and systems integration business headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with offices in New Orleans, Louisiana, Columbus, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (“Houston Interests”). The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed on December 12, 2016.
The purchase price is $46.0 million of cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments for working capital, cash and other items. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the parties to the Purchase Agreement.
The summary of the Purchase Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual or financial information about the Company, Matrix PDM, the seller, Houston Interests or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Matrix PDM, the seller, Houston Interests or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other filings that the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Credit Agreement Amendment
On December 12, 2016, the Company entered into an Increase Agreement and Third Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), by and among the Company and certain of its Canadian subsidiaries party thereto, as Borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), which amends the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 7, 2011 (as previously amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as further amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement in certain respects, including the following:
| |
• | Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement’s accordion feature, the aggregate revolving loan commitments of the Lenders are increased from $200.0 million to $250.0 million. |
| |
• | The maximum aggregate amount, or sublimit, for Canadian Dollar loans is increased from U.S. $40.0 million to U.S. $50.0 million. |
| |
• | During any “Acquisition Adjustment Period,” the Company’s Senior Leverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters, may not exceed 3.00 to 1.00. At all other times, the Senior Leverage Ratio, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, may not exceed 2.50 to 1.00. |
The term “Acquisition Adjustment Period” is defined to mean a period elected by the Company beginning with the purchase price funding date for any “Material Acquisition,” and continuing through the earlier of (i) the last day of the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning with the fiscal quarter in which the Material Acquisition occurred or (ii) the Company’s election to terminate the Acquisition Adjustment Period. The term “Material Acquisition” is defined to mean the purchase of Houston Interests and any individual acquisition which equals or exceeds $50.0 million or any series of acquisitions in the same fiscal quarter in which the aggregate consideration equals or exceeds $50.0 million.
The summary of the Amendment in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Certain of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and/or their affiliates have provided, from time to time, and may continue to provide, commercial banking, investment banking, financial and other services to the Company and/or its affiliates for which the Company and/or its affiliates have paid, and expect to pay, customary fees.
