As previously reported, on July 25, 2014, Visant Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a definitive Omnibus Transaction Agreement (the “OTA”) with OCM Luxembourg Ileos Holdings S.à.r.l. (“Ileos”) and Tripolis Holdings S.à.r.l. (“Luxco”) to combine their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, AKI, Inc. d/b/a Arcade Marketing (“Arcade”) and Bioplan, resulting in the formation of a new strategic venture under Luxco (the “Transaction”).
On September 23, 2014, the Company and Ileos completed the Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the OTA. In exchange for the Company’s contribution of 100% of the capital stock of Arcade, the Company received approximately $334,500,000 in cash proceeds and a 25% minority equity interest in Luxco. The terms of the Transaction provide that the Company has certain minority voting rights and the right to designate two directors to the board of managers of Luxco so long as it maintains its ownership of the equity interest in Luxco. The Company used the proceeds of the Transaction to repay certain indebtedness in connection with the refinancing of its senior secured credit facilities discussed below. The Company’s equity interest in Luxco will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company also announced that on September 23, 2014 it completed the previously announced refinancing of its senior secured credit facilities pursuant to which it terminated its existing senior secured credit agreement and entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. (“Holdings”), the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Refinancing”). The Credit Agreement establishes new senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $880 million, consisting of a $775 million tranche term loan facility and a $105 million revolving credit facility.
The Company will comply with its further disclosure requirements under Form 8-K with respect to the Transaction and the Refinancing over the next several days.
