Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Supplemental Indenture
On May 3, 2011, Norcraft Holdings, L.P. (the Holdings) announced that it had received the requisite consents in connection with its previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation for its and Norcraft Capital Corp.s outstanding 9.75% Senior Discount Notes due 2012 (the Notes). Holdings and Norcraft Capital Corp. entered into a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 2, 2011 (the Supplemental Indenture), with U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the Trustee), which supplements the Indenture, dated as of August 17, 2004 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Indenture), among Holdings, Norcraft Capital Corp. and the Trustee, governing the Notes.
The Supplemental Indenture implements the proposed amendments to the Indenture as described in Holdings Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated April 19, 2011 (the Offer to Purchase). The proposed amendments eliminate or modify substantially all of the restrictive covenants, the obligation to offer to repurchase Notes upon a change of control, certain events of default and related provisions in the Indenture and the Notes. The Supplemental Indenture became effective upon execution, but the proposed amendments will not become operative until acceptance of the Notes for purchase by Holdings pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
This description of the Supplemental Indenture and related matters is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 3, 2011, Holdings issued a press release announcing the results of its previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation for the Notes. As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 2, 2011, Holdings received tenders and consents from the holders of approximately $47.9 million aggregate principal amount, or approximately 89.3%, of the outstanding Notes. The withdrawal deadline for the tender offer and consent solicitation has passed. Any Notes previously tendered may no longer be withdrawn and any consents previously delivered may no longer be revoked. The tender offer remains open and is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 16, 2011, unless extended or earlier terminated by Holdings (the Expiration Date). A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The tender offer and consent solicitation remain conditioned on the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the receipt by Holdings of at least $56.0 million in gross proceeds from a proposed private placement of notes (the Refinancing Condition). As the Refinancing Condition has not yet been satisfied, no Notes will be accepted for purchase by Holdings and no consent payments will be made by Holdings at this time. If any of the conditions are not satisfied prior to the Expiration Date, Holdings is not obligated to accept for payment or to purchase or pay for any tendered Notes or make any consent payment, subject to applicable laws, and may even terminate its tender offer and consent solicitation or amend its tender offer and consent solicitation to extend the Expiration Date until such time as all conditions are satisfied.
