The Company acquired Seals in April 2010 for cash consideration of $51.3 million and the assumption of approximately $2.7 million in debt related items, OBL in July 2010 for cash consideration of $12.8 million and approximately $2.6 in cash to be paid in the fourth quarter and Periflo in September 2010 for cash consideration of $4.2 million. The cash payment for Seals was financed by borrowings under the Company’s credit facility.
On April 18, 2008, the Company completed a $100.0 million unsecured senior bank term loan agreement (“Term Loan”), with covenants consistent with the existing Credit Facility and a maturity on December 21, 2011. At September 30, 2010, there was $90.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan with $7.5 million included within short term borrowings. Interest under the Term Loan is based on the bank agent’s reference rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin and is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but at least quarterly. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from 45 to 100 basis points. Based on the Company’s current debt rating, the applicable margin is 80 basis points. The Term Loan requires a repayment of $7.5 million in April 2011, with the remaining balance due on December 21, 2011. The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan to pay down existing debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2010 the Company has an interest rate exchange agreement related to the Term Loan that expires in December 2011. With a current notional amount of $90.0 million, the agreement effectively converted $100.0 million of floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt at an interest rate of 4.00%. The fixed rate consists of the fixed rate on the interest rate exchange agreement and the Company’s current margin of 80 basis points on the Term Loan.
