Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
As described more fully in Item 2.01 below (which description is incorporated herein by reference), on October 31, 2013, Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Quota Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company, Bloom Holdco Participações Ltda. (“Purchaser”), PGS Participações Ltda. (“PGS Par”), the equity holders of PGS Par (the “Sellers”), PGS Consultoria e Serviços Ltda. (the “Brazilian Joint Venture”), and Bloom Participações Ltda., parent company of Purchaser.
Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, effective November 1, 2013, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture by purchasing 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PGS Par, the Company’s joint venture partner which holds a 50% interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture (the “Acquisition”). Prior to the Acquisition, the Company held a 50% interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company now holds a 90% interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture. The Brazilian Joint Venture operates Outback Steakhouse® restaurants in Brazil (the “Business”).
The Company completed the Acquisition for total consideration of approximately R$241 million (BRL) (or approximately $111 million) in cash. The Company financed the Acquisition primarily with borrowings of $100 million on its existing revolving credit facility and available cash.
The Purchase Agreement includes provisions providing the Sellers options to sell their remaining interests in the Business to Purchaser (the “put options”) and providing Purchaser options to purchase such remaining interests (the “call options” and together with the put options, the “Options”), in various amounts and at various times from 2015 through 2018, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. The purchase price under each of the Options is based on a multiple of the EBITDA of the Business, subject to a fair market value adjustment, as determined at the time of exercise pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement also contains customary indemnification obligations of each party with respect to breaches of their respective representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, and certain other designated matters.
On November 1, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
