Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 5, 2007, IPSCO Inc. (“IPSCO”), in connection with IPSCO’s previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to its outstanding 8 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”), entered into a Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 5, 2007, by and among IPSCO, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”), supplementing that certain Indenture, dated as of June 18, 2003, pursuant to which the Notes were issued, a First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of February 13, 2006, a Second Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of December 1, 2006, and a Third Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of December 29, 2006 (as supplemented, the “Indenture”).
The Fourth Supplemental Indenture effects certain amendments to the Indenture proposed in connection with the tender offer and consent solicitation, which amendments will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture and certain of the events of default, as well as modify certain other provisions contained therein. The amendments will not, however, become operative until the Notes tendered in the tender offer and consent solicitation are accepted for purchase by IPSCO pursuant to the terms of the tender offer and consent solicitation.
This summary of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
