Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets, Financial Statements and Exh
On December 30, 2008, in connection with the Unionamerica acquisition,
Royston borrowed the full amount of the $184.6 million available under the
previously announced Term Facilities Agreement (the "Facilities Agreement") with
National Australia Bank Limited ("NABL"). Of that amount, Royston borrowed
$152.6 million under Facility A and $32.0 million under Facility B. Enstar has
provided a guarantee of all of the obligations of Royston under the Facilities
Agreement, however, if NABL's participation in the facilities is reduced to or
below 50% of overall commitments, then Enstar will be released from all
obligations as guarantor. Royston incurred $6.9 million in fees in connection
with this financing.
The loans are secured by a lien covering all of the assets of Royston. The
interest rate on the Facility A portion is LIBOR plus 3.50% and the interest
rate on the Facility B portion is LIBOR plus 4.00%. The current blended rate on
the full amount to be borrowed is LIBOR plus 3.59%. During the existence of a
payment default, the interest rates will be increased by 1.00%. During the
existence of any event of default (as specified in the Facilities Agreement),
the lenders may declare that all amounts outstanding under the Facilities
Agreement are immediately due and payable, declare that all borrowed amounts be
paid upon demand, or proceed against the security. Amounts outstanding under the
Facilities Agreement are also subject to acceleration by the lenders in the
event of a change of control of Royston, successful application by Royston or
certain of its affiliates (other than Enstar) for listing on a stock exchange,
or total amounts outstanding under the facilities decreasing below
$10.0 million.
The Facility A portion is repayable within three years from October 3, 2008,
the date of the Facilities Agreement. The Facility B portion is repayable within
four years from the date of the Facilities Agreement. As disclosed above, the
Flowers Fund has a 30% non-voting equity interest in Royston Holdings Ltd., the
direct parent company of Royston.
The required financial statements will be filed no later than March 18, 2009.
