Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On August 12, 2011, BlueLinx Building Products Canada Ltd. (“BlueLinx Canada”), an indirect
subsidiary of BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a revolving credit agreement
(the “Canadian Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders and CIBC Asset-Based Lending Inc., as
lender, administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”).
General. The Canadian Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility with
an aggregate lender commitment of up to $10 million at any time outstanding, subject to borrowing
base availability. In addition, the Canadian Credit Agreement provides for an additional $5
million uncommitted accordion credit facility, which would permit BlueLinx Canada to increase the
maximum amount of borrowing capacity up to $15 million (if requested by BlueLinx Canada and the
lenders agree to fund such increase).
Borrowing Base. Revolving loan (and letter of credit) availability under the facility is subject to
a borrowing base, which at any time is equal to the sum of (i) 90% of insured eligible accounts
receivable, plus (ii) 85% of all other eligible accounts receivable, plus (iii) the lesser of (A)
65% of the lower of cost or fair market value of all eligible inventory, and (B) 85% of the net
orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, minus (iv) an amount equal to all priority
payables, minus (v) an amount equal to all other availability reserves, minus (vi) an availability
block of $500,000.
Interest. Borrowings under the Canadian Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at
BlueLinx Canada’s option, the base rate, the Canadian prime rate or the LIBO rate, in each case
plus an applicable margin. The base rate under the Canadian Credit Agreement equals the greater of
(i) the Agent’s base rate or (ii) the LIBO rate for a one month interest period plus 1.0%. The
applicable margin is 1.00% with respect to the base rate and Canadian prime rate borrowings and
2.50% with respect to the LIBO rate borrowings.
Maturity. August 12, 2014.
Fees. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the facility, BlueLinx Canada
is required to pay a fee in respect of committed but unutilized commitments equal to 0.25% per
annum.
Covenants/Events of Defaults. The Canadian Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and events
of default for asset-based credit agreements of this type.
In addition, on August 11, 2011, BlueLinx Corporation (the “Operating Company”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, reached an agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, successor by merger to Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”)
and the other signatories thereto to amend the terms of its existing Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement, dated August 4, 2006, as amended (the “U.S. Credit Agreement”) to allow the
Company to take on the additional indebtedness under the Canadian Credit Agreement. All other
material terms of the U.S. Credit Agreement remain unchanged.
The foregoing description of the Canadian Credit Agreement and the Fourth Amendment is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Canadian Credit Agreement and the Fourth Amendment, which are
attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
