Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 28 and 31, 2012, Boise Cascade, L.L.C. (“Boise Cascade”) made cash distributions totaling $225 million (collectively, the “Distribution”) to Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C., its sole member (“BC Holdings”). BC Holdings is a guarantor of Boise Cascade's $300 million revolving credit agreement (as amended), as well as of Boise Cascade's $250 million aggregate principal amount of 6 3/8% senior notes due 2020 (the “Senior Notes”). Under the revolving credit agreement, BC Holdings will remain a guarantor until such time as Boise Cascade has received net proceeds of at least $115 million from the sale of its common stock, including proceeds from its planned initial public offering (the “Offering”), or Boise Cascade has received at least $115 million in the form of an equity investment, such as a reinvestment by BC Holdings of $115 million in Boise Cascade. BC Holdings will remain a guarantor under the indenture governing the Senior Notes until such time, if ever, as Boise Cascade's common stock is listed on any national securities exchange.
Following consummation of the Offering, BC Holdings presently intends to use the cash proceeds received from Boise Cascade in the Distribution to repurchase equity securities from, and/or make a distribution to, its equityholders.
