ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On May 25, 2018, Synalloy Corporation’s (“Synalloy”) subsidiary Bristol Metals, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Bristol Metals”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with Marcegaglia USA, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“MUSA”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the PSA, Bristol Metals has agreed to purchase MUSA’s real estate property in Munhall, Pennsylvania (the “Munhall Property”) for a purchase price of $10.0 million. At Closing, Bristol Metals and MUSA will terminate the facility lease the parties entered into when Bristol Metals purchased MUSA’s stainless steel pipe and tube operations on March 1, 2017. The parties’ obligations to consummate this real estate transaction are subject to completion of due diligence and certain customary closing conditions. Closing is expected to occur on or about June 29, 2018.
At or just prior to closing, Bristol Metals intends to designate its rights to take title to the Munhall Property to Store Capital Acquisitions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company or its affiliate (together, “Store”), who will fund the full purchase price of the transaction and take title to the Munhall Property. As part of the transaction, Bristol Metals has agreed to enter into an absolute triple net lease with Store pursuant to which Bristol Metals will lease the Munhall Property for an initial term of 20 years, with two renewal options of ten years each. First year rent expense will be $860,000. The lease will include a rent escalator equal to the lesser of 1.25 times the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index since the previous increase or 2.00%. Synalloy will provide payment and performance guaranties under the lease to provide a credit enhancement for the benefit of Store.
The description of the PSA contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the PSA. The Company will file the PSA with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to its next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
A copy of the press release announcing the execution of the PSA is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
As a mutual condition to closing the purchase and sale of the Munhall Property, Bristol Metals and MUSA have agreed to simultaneously sign and close an asset purchase agreement, whereby Bristol Metals will acquire MUSA’s galvanized tube operations at the Munhall Property (the “Business”). The transaction is expected to close simultaneously with the Bristol Metals’ purchase-leaseback of the Munhall Property, with an effective date of July 1, 2018.
The purchase price for the all-cash acquisition is $10.0 million, which amount could be adjusted up or down depending on estimated working capital at closing. MUSA will also receive quarterly earn-out payments for a period of four years following closing equal to three percent (3%) of Bristol Metals’ revenue generated from the Business, with no minimum or maximum.
Synalloy will fund the acquisition with a draw against its $65.0 million asset based line of credit with Branch Banking and Trust Company.
A copy of the press release announcing this pending transaction is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
