Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 28, 2012, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of PBI-Dansensor A/S (PBI Dansensor) by MOCON, Inc. (MOCON) as more fully described below, MOCON entered into a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo). The Credit Agreement provides for a four year, $5.0 million secured revolving credit line, with a $1 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, and a $3.5 million secured term loan that amortizes over four years (the Loans). The Loans bear interest at the per annum rate of 1.75% over the one-month LIBOR rate on the revolving credit line and 3.46% fixed on the term loan. There is a 0.20% fee imposed on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit line, payable quarterly.
Funds are available under the credit facility to finance the acquisition of PBI Dansensor, for working capital purposes and to finance permitted acquisitions (acquisitions that have a purchase price of $5.0 million or less). The Loans are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of MOCON (excluding the shares in PBI Dansensor and the shares in MOCON Denmark Holding ApS, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of MOCON that was formed to effect the acquisition of PBI Dansensor (MOCON Denmark). MOCON and its domestic subsidiaries guaranteed the Loans.
On March 28, 2012, MOCON borrowed $4.0 million against the credit line and drew down the $3.5 million term loan so that as of March 28, 2012, it had total outstanding indebtedness to Wells Fargo of $7.5 million under the Loans.
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants regarding MOCON and its domestic subsidiaries, including affirmative financial covenants, such as the maintenance of a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum cash flow to debt service level, and certain negative covenants, which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, amount of capital and lease expenditures, disposition of assets, acquisitions other than permitted acquisitions that are not effected more than once each twelve month period, liens, stock redemptions and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Many of these restrictions are subject to certain minimum thresholds and exceptions. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and involuntary proceedings, monetary judgment defaults in excess of specified amounts and change of control and other customary defaults.
The description of the Credit Agreement set forth above is qualified by the Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 2, 2012, MOCON completed its previously announced acquisition of PBI Dansensor. PBI Dansensor is a manufacturer of specialized instrumentation for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other perishable items.
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement (the Share Purchase Agreement) dated March 9, 2012 between MOCON and PBI-Holding A/S, a Danish company (PBI Holding), MOCON Denmark purchased 100% of the shares of stock of PBI Dansensor for DKK 112,000,000 (approximately $20,000,000), two-thirds of which was paid at closing and the remainder of which
