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 2, 2012 (the “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2011 (as amended, 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 99% of par value and increased the term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement from approximately $224.4 million (the “Prior Term Loans Outstanding”) to approximately $254.4 million, which will be subject to quarterly amortization payments of approximately $0.64 million 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 2, 2012 (the “Second Amendment to Credit Agreement”). The Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (i) reduced the margin on LIBOR Loans from 6.00% to 5.00% and on Base Rate Loans from 5.00% to 4.00% and (ii) reduced the LIBOR floor from 1.50% to 1.25%. All other terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.

The Company paid an amendment fee in connection with the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement of approximately $2.244 million, which amount was equal to 1.00% of the Prior Term Loans Outstanding, and incurred additional fees and expenses in connection with the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and the Incremental Facility Amendment of approximately $0.6 million in the aggregate. Net proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan were or will be used to reduce revolving loans outstanding pursuant to the Company’s $290 million revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement 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.
