Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 27, 2009, BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (“BlueLinx”) announced that it entered into a Termination and Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) related to the Master Purchase, Supply and Distribution Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) between BlueLinx Corporation (“BlueLinx”), BlueLinx Services, Inc. and Georgia-Pacific LLC (“Georgia-Pacific”), effective April 27, 2009. The Modification Agreement effectively terminates the existing Supply Agreement with respect to the distribution of Georgia-Pacific plywood, oriented strand board and lumber by BlueLinx. Exhibit B of the Supply Agreement, which covers decorative paneling products, is excluded from the termination and shall remain in force until May 7, 2010. BlueLinx will continue to distribute a variety of Georgia-Pacific building products, including Engineered Lumber, which is covered under a three-year purchase agreement dated February 12, 2009.
As previously announced on June 6, 2008, Georgia-Pacific provided BlueLinx with notice of its intent to terminate the Supply Agreement, effective May 7, 2010. Georgia-Pacific agreed to pay BlueLinx $18,825,000 in exchange for BlueLinx’ agreement to enter into the Modification Agreement one-year earlier than the originally agreed upon date. Georgia-Pacific will make payments of $4,706,250 to BlueLinx on each of May 1, 2009, August 3, 2009, November 2, 2009 and February 1, 2010. The press release announcing this agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Termination and Modification Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
