OGLEBAY NORTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. On February 23, 2004, the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Company intends to continue operations without interruption. The Company intends to seek emergence from Chapter 11 as rapidly as possible with a new, de-levered capital structure that will enable the Company to move forward on its strategic operating plan.

 

In furtherance of the Company’s goal of emerging from Chapter 11 as expeditiously as possible, prior to the filing, the Company reached an agreement in principle, subject to certain conditions, with a majority of the holders of its $100,000,000 Senior Subordinated Notes to exchange their notes for equity. The agreement also contemplates having certain of them make a new equity investment in the reorganized Company. Additionally, prior to filing Chapter 11, the Company accepted a commitment for a new credit facility that, among other things, would retire its existing bank debt. On April 30, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Company to enter into this facility.

 

On February 24, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court also entered a variety of orders designed to afford the Company a smooth transition into Chapter 11 and permit the Company to continue operating on a normal basis post-petition. Among others, the Court entered orders authorizing the Company to continue its consolidated cash management system, pay employees their accrued pre-petition wages and salaries, honor the Company’s obligations to its customers and pay some or all of the pre-petition claims of certain vendors that are critical to the continued operations of the Company, subject to certain restrictions. The relief granted in these orders has facilitated the Company’s transition into Chapter 11 and has allowed the Company to continue its operations uninterrupted.

 

On February 25, 2004, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Joel B. Rosenthal of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington entered an order granting interim approval for the Company to utilize cash collateral and to borrow up to $40,000,000 from a $75,000,000 debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit facility. The Company obtained the DIP facility from a syndicate that includes various members of its pre-petition bank group. The judge’s order provided the Company access to the liquidity necessary to continue operations without disruption and meet its obligations to its suppliers, customers and employees during the Chapter 11 reorganization process.

 

On April 8, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court granted final approval for the Company to borrow up to $70 million under the (DIP)
