Second Supplemental Indenture with respect to 10.5% Senior Notes due 2020
On January 17, 2014, Summit Materials, LLC (“Summit Materials”) and Summit Materials Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp.” and together with Summit Materials, the “Issuers”) issued and sold $260.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 10.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Additional Notes”), which mature on January 31, 2020, pursuant to an indenture governing the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.5% Senior Notes due 2020 that were issued on January 30, 2012 (the “Existing Notes” and, together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”), by and among the Issuers, Continental Cement Company, L.L.C. (the “Company”) and the other subsidiary guarantors named on the signature pages thereto (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Base Indenture” and, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2012 and a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 17, 2014, the “Indenture”). The Company is a non-wholly owned subsidiary of Summit Materials. The Additional Notes were sold within the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Additional Notes are treated as a single series with the Existing Notes and have substantially the same terms as those of the Existing Notes. The Additional Notes and the Existing Notes will vote as one class under the Indenture.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.5% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears. The Issuers’ obligations under the Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of Summit Materials’ existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities and by the Company.
At any time prior to January 31, 2015, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 110.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price decreases to 105.250%, 102.625% and 100.000% of the principal amount on January 31, 2016, January 31, 2017 and January 31, 2018 and thereafter, respectively. In addition, at any time prior to January 21, 2015, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the Notes from the proceeds of certain equity offerings.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control or upon the sale of certain assets in which the Issuers do not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Issuers to make an offer to repurchase each holder’s Notes at a price equal to 101% (in the case of a change of control) or 100% (in the case of an asset sale) of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Notes contain covenants limiting, among other things, Summit Materials’ and the Guarantors’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Summit Materials’ assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The Notes also contain customary events of default.
Registration Rights Agreement
On January 17, 2014, the Issuers, the Company and the other Guarantors and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, on behalf of the initial purchasers of the Additional Notes described above, entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the Additional Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). In the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers and the Guarantors have agreed that they will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file a registration statement on an
appropriate registration form with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Additional Notes for new notes, with terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Additional Notes and (ii) cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act.
The Issuers and the Guarantors have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the exchange offer to be consummated or, if required, to have one or more shelf registration statements declared effective, within 270 days after the issue date of the Additional Notes.
If the Issuers and the Guarantors fail to satisfy this obligation (a “registration default”), the annual interest rate on the Additional Notes will increase by 0.25% for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the registration default. The annual interest rate on the Additional Notes will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.0% per annum. If the registration default is corrected, the interest rate on the Additional Notes will revert to the original level.
If the Issuers must pay additional interest, they will pay holders of the Additional Notes in cash on the same dates that the Issuers make other interest payments on the Additional Notes, until the registration default is corrected.
Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement
On January 16, 2014, Summit Materials, the Company and the other guarantors party thereto entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to Summit Materials’ existing Credit Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2012 (together with Amendment No. 1, dated as of February 5, 2013, the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment Conversion Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2013, and Amendment No. 2, the “Credit Agreement”) governing Summit Materials’ senior secured credit facilities, among Summit Materials, the Company and the other guarantors party thereto, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, collateral agent, L/C issuer and swing line lender.
Amendment No. 2 amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the incurrence of the Additional Notes and increase Summit Materials’ total leverage ratio and senior secured net leverage ratio in connection with the future incurrence of indebtedness.
