Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 28, 2010, Core Molding Technologies, Inc. and Core Composites Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively referred to herein as "Core"), entered into a first addendum to its Comprehensive Supply Agreement, dated June 23, 2008 (the "Supply Agreement") with Navistar, Inc. ("Navistar").
The addendum to the Supply Agreement contains certain commitments of both Core and Navistar regarding the shift of production from Core's Columbus, Ohio manufacturing facility to its Matamoros, Mexico manufacturing facility. The shift from Columbus to Matamoros is being driven by Navistar's relocation of certain production to its Escobedo, Mexico assembly plant. Under the terms of the supply agreement, Navistar will continue to purchase one-hundred percent of its original equipment and service requirement that presently exist for specified fiberglass reinforced products and sheet molding compound from Core.
Core will incur approximately three million dollars of expense for transfer and sta rt up costs as well as one million dollars of capital costs, associated with providing additional compression molding presses and related equipment at its Matamoros manufacturing facility to support the products being relocated.
Navistar is Core's largest customer and accounted for approximately 57% of Company’s 2008 total revenue, and is also a significant stockholder, owning approximately 9.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Core intends to seek confidential treatment of certain terms contained in the addendum to the Supply Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
