ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 24, 2009, Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), with its
wholly-owned subsidiary Gibraltar Steel Corporation of New York ("GSCNY") as
co-borrower, entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a
syndicate of banks led by KeyBank National Association, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., BMO Capital Markets Financing, Inc., HSBC Bank USA, National Association,
and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (the "Third Amendment and
Restatement"). The Third Amendment and Restatement amends and restates the
Company's existing credit facility.
The Third Amendment and Restatement provides for a term loan in the principal
amount of $58.7 million and a revolving credit facility and letters of credit in
an aggregate amount that does not exceed the lesser of (i) $200 million and
(ii) a borrowing base determined by reference to the trade receivables,
inventories and property, plant and equipment of the Company's significant
domestic subsidiaries. Prior to the Third Amendment and Restatement, the
Company's senior credit facility provided for a $375 million revolving credit
facility and a $122.7 million term loan, which term loan, at the time of the
Third Amendment and Restatement had an outstanding principal balance of
$58.7 million.
The Third Amendment and Restatement removes many of the restrictive financial
covenants contained in the prior credit facility and requires the Company to
achieve specified EBITDA amounts on the last day of each quarter through
December 31, 2009, and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to
1.00, as of March 31, 2010 and as of the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter.
Interest rates on the term loan and revolving credit loans will continue to be
based on the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") with a LIBOR floor of
1.5%, plus an additional margin of 3.75% on the term loan and, on revolving
credit loans, 3.25%. In addition to the foregoing, the revolving credit facility
is subject to an annual facility fee calculated as 0.5% of the average daily
Maximum Principal Amount (as defined in the Third Amendment and Restatement) of
the revolving credit facility.
The terms of the Third Amendment and Restatement provide that the revolving
credit facility is scheduled to terminate on August 30, 2012 and all revolving
credit borrowings must be repaid on or before that date. The term loan is
payable in quarterly installments and matures on December 8, 2012 on which date
the outstanding balance of the term loan is payable in full.
Borrowings under the Third Amendment and Restatement are secured by the trade
receivables, inventory, personal property, equipment and certain real property
of the Company's significant domestic subsidiaries. The Third Amendment and
Restatement is guaranteed by each of the Company's significant domestic
subsidiaries (other than GSCNY, which is a co-borrower). The senior credit
facility and the related guarantees are secured by first priority security
interests (subject to permitted liens) in substantially all the tangible and
intangible assets of the Company and its significant domestic subsidiaries,
subject to certain exceptions, and a pledge of 100% of the stock of each
first-tier domestic subsidiary of the borrowers and a pledge of 65% of the
voting stock of the Company's first-tier foreign subsidiaries.
The Third Amendment and Restatement contains numerous affirmative and negative
covenants and events of default which should be reviewed for a complete
understanding of the Third Amendment and Restatement.
The foregoing description of the Third Amendment and Restatement does not
purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Third Amendment and Restatement, a copy of which is filed as
Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
