Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Results of Operations and Fi
On October 31, 2008, Caraustar Industries, Inc. (the "Company") amended its Senior Credit Facility, originally dated March 30, 2006, with Bank of America, N.A. The Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") extends the December 1, 2008 date at which time it is required to advise its participating lenders of its plan to refinance or defease the Senior Notes in the amount of approximately $190 million that are due June 1, 2009. The date was extended to March 1, 2009. The Amendment also changed the applicable margins in the pricing grid for the Senior Credit Facility. Outstanding principal under the revolver initially bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either (1) the base rate (which is the prime rate most recently announced by Bank of America, N.A., the administrative agent under the Senior Credit Facility) plus 1.25% or (2) the adjusted one, two, three, or six-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%. Pricing under the Senior Credit Facility is determined by reference to the pricing grid under which margins shall be adjusted prospectively on a quarterly basis as determined by the average availability measured as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2009. Under the pricing grid, the applicable margins for the revolver range from 1.25% to 1.75% for base rate loans and from 2.25% to 2.75% for LIBOR loans. The undrawn portion of the revolver is subject to an unused line fee calculated at an annual rate that ranges from 0.375% to 0.50%.
On October 31, 2008, the Company issued a press release and held a webcast regarding its financial results for the third quarter of 2008. Copies of the October 31, 2008 press release and transcript from the webcast are furnished herewith as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
Subsequent to the October 31, 2008 press release and webcast, the Company determined that it was necessary to reduce the reserves previously recorded pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes "(an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109)" as a result of a change in valuation allowances related to state net operating losses that negated the necessity of that reserve. The amount associated with that reduction in reserves is approximately $2.8 million, an understatement of the Company's income tax benefit for the third quarter. On November 6, 2008, the Company issued a press release with the adjusted quarterly results. A copy of the November 6, 2008 press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.3.
The information being furnished in this report (including Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3) is not deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.
During its October 31, 2008 earnings call, the Company made statements regarding mill down time during October, 2008. Subsequently the Company has received requests for clarification regarding that information. The Company took down time at several of its mills during the month of October totaling in the aggregate approximately twenty-five days, suggesting a mill capacity utilization rate of approximately 91% for the month of October. Further, the Company expects to help provide support for its margins in the fourth quarter of 2008 through, among other things, disciplined and effective use of mill down time during the quarter, which historically has lower volume than the rest of the year.
