Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 14, 2013, Mac-Gray Corporation (“Mac-Gray”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CSC ServiceWorks Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), CSC ServiceWorks, Inc. (“ServiceWorks”), Spin Holdco Inc. (“Spin” and, together with Holdings and ServiceWorks, “CSC”) and CSC Fenway, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spin (“Merger Sub”) pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Mac-Gray (the “Merger”), with Mac-Gray surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spin.

 

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of Mac-Gray (the “Board”) and by a special committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”), at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Mac-Gray common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned by CSC or Merger Sub (or any of their subsidiaries), shares held by Mac-Gray and shares held by stockholders who have perfected their statutory rights of appraisal under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law), will be converted into the right to receive $21.25 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

 

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Mac-Gray stock option, whether or not vested and exercisable, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Mac-Gray stock option and (ii) the total number of shares of Mac-Gray common stock otherwise issuable upon exercise  of such Mac-Gray stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Mac-Gray restricted stock unit award shall become fully vested and shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings) equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Mac-Gray common stock subject to such Mac-Gray restricted stock unit award.

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Mac-Gray, CSC and Merger Sub, including, among others, covenants by Mac-Gray to conduct its business in the ordinary course during the period between execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) and not to engage in certain kinds of activities during such period.  Mac-Gray is not permitted to solicit other proposals and Mac-Gray has also agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any alternative transaction and not to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to CSC the recommendation of the Board that Mac-Gray’s stockholders approve the Merger Agreement.  In addition, each of the parties has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated.  The Board, as recommended by the Special Committee, has unanimously adopted resolutions approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and recommending the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Mac-Gray’s stockholders, and has agreed to convene and hold a stockholder meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Mac-Gray Stockholder Approval (as defined below).

 

The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the approval of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of common stock of Mac-Gray (the “Mac-Gray Stockholder Approval”), the expiration or early termination of the applicable pre-merger waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), and other customary closing conditions.  The Closing is not subject to a financing contingency.

 

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Mac-Gray and CSC, and provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Mac-Gray may be required to pay CSC a termination fee of $11 million, including if Mac-Gray accepts a superior acquisition proposal or if the Board effects a change of recommendation.  In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that CSC shall pay Mac-Gray a $15 million termination fee (the “CSC Termination Fee”) if the Merger Agreement is terminated because the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the HSR Act shall not have expired or been terminated by July 31, 2014.

 

In connection with the Merger, Pamplona Capital Partners III, L.P. (“Pamplona”) entered into a letter agreement with, inter alia, CSC pursuant to which Pamplona has agreed to provide $594 million in financing (the “Commitment Amount”) to CSC (the “Pamplona Commitment Letter”).  The Commitment Amount will be used by CSC to fund the Merger Consideration at Closing (including as a result of a judgment of specific performance) and any other payments to be made by CSC or Mac-Gray at Closing, and all associated costs and expenses of the Merger for which CSC is responsible.  In addition, Pamplona and CSC shall be jointly and severally liable for any amounts that may be owed by CSC with respect to any breach of the Merger Agreement, including the CSC Termination Fee or any payment of monetary damages awarded to Mac-Gray, provided that Pamplona’s liability for such damages shall not exceed $50 million.  Mac-Gray is an express third party beneficiary of the Pamplona Commitment Letter.

In connection with the proposed Merger, certain stockholders of Mac-Gray entered into voting agreements for the benefit of CSC (collectively, the “Voting Agreements”) pursuant to which they agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of Mac-Gray common stock for the adoption of the Merger Agreement, against any alternative proposal and against any action or agreement that would frustrate the purposes of, or prevent or delay the consummation of, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  As of the date hereof, such stockholders owned in the aggregate approximately 15% of Mac-Gray’s outstanding common stock.  The Voting Agreements terminate upon the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, including if Mac-Gray accepts a superior acquisition proposal.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated into this report by reference, and the form of Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is hereby incorporated into this report by reference.  The Merger Agreement, which has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about Mac-Gray, CSC or Merger Sub, contains representations and warranties of each of Mac-Gray, Spin and Merger Sub.  The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Merger Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement, including information contained in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with signing the Merger Agreement.  Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were only made as of a specific date and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules.  In addition, certain representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters of fact.  Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Mac-Gray’s or CSC’s public disclosures.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On October 15, 2013, Mac-Gray and ServiceWorks issued a joint press release announcing the entry into the Merger Agreement providing for the acquisition of Mac-Gray by CSC on the terms and conditions contained therein.  A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
