Explanatory Note:
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements the Current Report filed by A. M. Castle & Co. on September 8, 2006 (the initial Form 8-K) with the Securities Exchange Commission relating to its acquisition of Transtar Intermediate Holdings #2, Inc. (“Transtar”) that occurred on September 5, 2006. The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) is to (i) correct a typographical error in the name of the acquired company which is Transtar Intermediate Holdings #2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and not Transtar Holdings #2, LLC as shown on the first line of Item 2.01, (ii) include financial statements required by item 9.01, (iii) amending the previously filed pro forma financials principally to reflect deferred taxes on the acquired intangible assets, and (iv) the consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On September 5, 2006 the Company completed its acquisition of Transtar Intermediate Holdings #2, Inc. (“Transtar”), a wholly owned subsidiary of H.I.G. Transtar Inc. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 12, 2006 (the “Agreement). Transtar’s assets consist primarily of receivables, inventory, customer and supplier contracts, and identifiable intangibles including but not limited to customer lists, product processes and trademarks. In addition Transtar retained $1.1 million of foreign debt secured by the assets of Transtar’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Transtar, and Transtar will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The total consideration paid by the Company for all outstanding shares of Transtar was $175,783,000, comprised of $30,919,000 from cash on hand and $144,864,000 from bank borrowings. An escrow in the amount of $18 million funded from the purchase price was established to satisfy H.I.G. Transtar Inc.’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement.
The description of the acquisition of Transtar set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement that was filed by the Company as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 17, 2006 (the “Castle 8-K”). The description of the Stock Purchase Agreement remains subject to the qualifications set forth in the Castle 8-K.
