Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information set forth below in Item 2.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On September 15, 2016, Harsco Corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiary Harsco (UK) Group Limited (together with the Company, the “Harsco Entities”), entered into an Omnibus Agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”) with CDR Bullseye Holdings, L.P., Bullseye G.P., LLC, Bullseye Partnership, L.P., Bullseye Holdings, L.P. and Brand Energy & Infrastructure Holdings, Inc. (“Brand”), pursuant to which Brand repurchased the Harsco Entities’ 26 percent interest in Brand.
In exchange for the Harsco Entities’ interest, (i) the Harsco Entities received $145 million in cash, and (ii) the Company’s obligations to pay to Brand and its subsidiaries future amounts under Section 8.2(i)(iv) of that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 15, 2013, as amended, by and between the Company, Brand Energy & Infrastructure Services, Inc. (f/k/a Bullseye, Inc.), Brand and CDR Bullseye Holdings, L.P. were satisfied, the present value of which equals $20,640,182.65. In addition, Harsco received $1,391,954.90 in accrued but unpaid fees, rent and expenses from Brand.
As a result of the sale, the Company’s obligation to make quarterly payments under the terms of a limited partnership agreement that governed the operation of the strategic venture terminated. Those quarterly payments were made either (at the Company’s election) (i) in cash, with total payments to equal approximately $23 million per year on a pre-tax basis, or (ii) in kind through the transfer of approximately 3% of the Company’s equity interest in Brand on an annual basis.
As part of the transaction, the Company’s two representatives on Brand’s board of directors resigned.
The description of the Omnibus Agreement is subject to the terms thereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
