Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Effective April 5, 2006, American Pacific Corporation (the “Company”) entered into Modification #3 to the Thiokol Long Term Pricing Agreement (the “Amendment”) with ATK Thiokol (“ATK”), concluding its previously disclosed discussions with ATK regarding AP pricing at volumes less than those provided for under the terms of the existing agreement.
The Amendment extends the term, from 2008 to 2013, of the Company’s original agreement to maintain ready and qualified capacity for the supply of Ammonium Perchlorate (“AP”) to ATK, under which ATK will continue, with certain exceptions, to purchase all of its AP requirements from the Company. The Amendment also establishes AP pricing at annual volumes of AP ranging from 3 million to 20 million pounds, and indicates certain circumstances under which the parties may terminate the contract.
The Company issued a press release regarding the Amendment on April 10, 2006. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
