Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
On November 7, 2005, ACIH, Inc. (“ACIH”), the parent of Atrium Companies, Inc. (“Atrium”), launched a consent solicitation pursuant to which ACIH solicited consents from holders of its outstanding 11 ½% Senior Discount Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”) to, subject to certain conditions, (a) waive past defaults arising with respect to ACIH’s obligation to furnish to the holders of the Notes and file with the trustee under the indenture governing the Notes (as amended, the “Indenture”) ACIH’s consolidated financial statements prepared as described in the Indenture along with certain results of operations information for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the quarter ended March 31, 2005 (collectively, the “Prior Financials”) through and including February 13, 2006 and any default or event of default under the Indenture arising therefrom; (b) amend the Indenture to extend the deadline for furnishing to the holders of the Notes and filing with the trustee under the Indenture ACIH’s unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared as described in the Indenture along with certain results of operations information for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 (the “Second Quarter Financials”) and September 30, 2005 (the “Third Quarter Financials”) to February 13, 2006; (c) amend the Indenture to allow Atrium and its restricted subsidiaries to incur indebtedness and issue preferred stock (x) initially, solely to the extent that on the date of any such incurrence or issuance and immediately after giving pro forma effect thereto and the use of proceeds thereof (in accordance with the definition of “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” in the Indenture) Atrium’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) is less than or equal to 4.25:1.00 rather than 4.75:1.00 and (y) once the Prior Financials, Second Quarter Financials and Third Quarter Financials are furnished to the holders of the Notes and filed with the trustee under the Indenture, less than or equal to 4.50:1.00; (d) amend the Indenture to allow ACIH and its restricted subsidiaries to incur indebtedness pursuant to Atrium’s credit agreement, dated as of December 28, 2004, between Atrium and its senior lenders party thereto (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), in an amount not to exceed $375.0 million rather than $475.0 million; (e) amend the Indenture to remove the $25.0 million general indebtedness basket described in the Indenture; (f) amend the Indenture to provide that ACIH and its restricted subsidiaries cannot make any restricted payments under the Indenture until ACIH’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.75:1.00 at which time the amount available for restricted payments under the Indenture shall be reset to zero; (g) amend the Indenture to eliminate the $20.0 million restricted payments basket described in the Indenture until ACIH’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 4.75:1.00; provided that the amendments described in clauses (c), (d) and (e) above will cease to have operative effect (and the original provisions that were amended shall again be in full force and effect as if not so amended) on the earlier of December 15, 2007 or the date ACIH’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than or equal to 5.00:1.00; and (h) amend the Indenture to add a definition of “Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio”, which shall be substantially similar to the definition of “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” therein except it will measure the ratio for ACIH and its restricted subsidiaries rather than Atrium and its restricted subsidiaries.
As of November 11, 2005, ACIH had received consents from holders of approximately $174.0 million in aggregate principal amount at stated maturity of the outstanding Notes, representing approximately 100% of the outstanding Notes. In connection with the consent solicitation,
ACIH entered into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture. A copy of the Second Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
On November 10, 2005, Atrium obtained waivers of certain events of default under, and amendments to, Atrium’s credit agreement, dated as of December 28, 2004, between Atrium and its senior lenders party thereto (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”) and Atrium’s accounts receivable securitization facility (the “A/R Facility”). The waivers extend the deadline for Atrium to deliver to the lenders under the Credit Agreement and A/R Facility Atrium’s audited consolidated financial statements along with certain results of operations information for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Atrium’s unaudited consolidated financial statements along with certain results of operations information for the quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 to February 10, 2006. The lenders also consented to the amendments to the Indenture described above and the payment of fees to the holders of the Notes in the consent solicitation. The amendments revise the Credit Agreement and A/R Facility to require that Atrium maintain its maximum total leverage ratio to be less than or equal to the following amounts for the periods set forth opposite them in the table below:
Period | Ratio |
December 28, 2004 through September 30, 2005 | 4.60x |
