Section 1 Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (the “Company” and, together with Compass Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI), “CODI,” “us” or “we”), exercised its option for an incremental term loan in the amount of $30 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) pursuant to that certain Incremental Facility Amendment, dated as of April 3, 2013 (the “Incremental Facility Amendment”), to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2011 (as amended prior to the Incremental Facility Amendment and the Third Amendment (as defined below), the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), and Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). The Incremental Term Loan was issued at 100% of par value and increased the term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “Term Loans”) from approximately $251.9 million (the “Prior Term Loans Outstanding”) to approximately $281.9 million, which will be subject to quarterly amortization payments of $712,500 with a final payment equal to the outstanding principal balance thereof in October 2017.

The Company also announced that, concurrent with the Incremental Facility Amendment, the Company, the Lenders and the Agent have entered into a further amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2013 (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment (i) reduced the applicable margin on Term Loans by 100 basis points, (ii) reduced the applicable margin on revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Loans”) by 50 basis points, (iii) reduced the LIBOR floor by 25 basis points, (iv) provided for a reduction in the commitment fee on Revolving Loan availability by 25 basis points upon achievement of certain financial ratios, and (v) extended the termination date for the commitments to make Revolving Loans from October 27, 2016 to April 27, 2017. All other material terms of the Credit Agreement remained unchanged.

The Company incurred fees and expenses in connection with the Incremental Facility Amendment and the Third Amendment of approximately $1.9 million in the aggregate, which amount was comprised of approximately $0.9 million in connection with re-pricing of the Term Loans, $0.9 million in connection with the amendments to the Revolving Loans, and the balance for other fees and expenses. $27.0 million of the net proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan were used to reduce the Revolving Loans outstanding.

The foregoing descriptions of the Third Amendment and the Incremental Facility Amendment are not meant to be exhaustive and are qualified in their entirety by the documents themselves, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Incremental Facility Amendment and the Third Amendment.
