Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

On July 26, 2011, Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co., a California corporation (“Registrant”), entered into a syndicated Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender and as a lender, and with 25 other banks as lenders, amending and restating its existing $1.1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility for five years and increasing the size to $1.5 billion. The restated credit facility includes an increase option for up to an additional $500 million at the Registrant’s request with approval from the lenders and includes more favorable pricing terms than the Registrant’s prior facility that would have matured on November 20, 2012.  The credit facility replaces the Registrant’s $1.1 billion syndicated credit facility. The Registrant intends to use the credit facility for working capital and general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, dividend payments, repayment of debt, stock repurchases, internal growth initiatives and acquisitions.

 

The foregoing description and the description in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
