Senior Secured Notes
The Senior Secured Notes (the "Notes") were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated March 18, 2011, among Euramax International, Inc ("Euramax"), Euramax Holdings, Inc ("Euramax Holdings"), and certain of its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by Euramax Holdings, Euramax, and Amerimax Richmond Company, a 100% wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of Euramax. The Notes bear interest at 9.50% per year and mature on April 1, 2016, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by Euramax. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year.
The Notes may be redeemed at the option of Euramax, in whole or in part, under the conditions specified in the Indenture, at the following redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated:

2015 and thereafter

The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Euramax and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and make certain distributions, make other restricted payments, make investments, incur liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case, subject to exclusions, and other customary covenants. These limitations also prohibit Euramax's ability to transfer cash or assets to Euramax Holdings, whether by dividend, loan or otherwise. The Indenture also contains customary events of default. If Euramax undergoes a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), Euramax will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
Senior Unsecured Loan Facility
In March 2011, Euramax Holdings, Euramax, and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into the Senior Unsecured Loan Facility with investment funds affiliated with Highland Capital Management, L.P. and Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, as lenders. The Senior Unsecured Loan Facility was issued at 98% of par on March 18, 2011 and matures on October 1, 2016. The difference between the consideration received and the aggregate face amount ($1.6 million) is being amortized and recorded in interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term. The Senior Unsecured Loan Facility bears interest at 12.25% per year in the event no election is made to pay interest in kind (PIK), and 14.25% (7.875% cash pay and 6.375% PIK) per annum in the event a PIK election is made. Euramax may make a PIK election for up to six quarters during the term of the Senior Unsecured Loan Facility. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings at June 28, 2013 was 12.25%, as Euramax has not made a PIK election.
Euramax may prepay outstanding amounts under the Senior Unsecured Loan Facility, in whole or in part, at the prices (expressed as percentages of the loans) set forth below:
Prepayment Date
Percentage
On or after the second anniversary of the closing but prior to the third anniversary thereof
103
%
On or after the third anniversary of the closing but prior to the fourth anniversary thereof
102
%
On or after the fourth anniversary of the closing
100
%

Upon a change of control, Euramax may be required to prepay all or a portion of the Senior Unsecured Loan Facility at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. All obligations under the Senior Unsecured Loan Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Euramax Holdings and Amerimax Richmond Company, a 100% wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of Euramax, and any future direct and indirect wholly‑owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries.
The Senior Unsecured Loan Facility contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Euramax and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and make certain distributions, make other restricted payments, make investments, incur liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case, subject to exclusions, and other customary covenants.
The Senior Unsecured Loan Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including among other things, payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross‑defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, material judgments, and failure of any guaranty supporting the Senior Unsecured Loan Facility to be in force and effect in any material respect. If such an event of default occurs, the administrative agent would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Senior Unsecured Loan Facility and all actions permitted to be taken by an unsecured creditor.
ABL Credit Facility
On March 18, 2011, Euramax Holdings, Euramax, and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, entered into the ABL Credit Facility with Regions Bank, as Collateral and Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as Co-Collateral Agent, and Regions Business Capital, as Sole Lead Arranger and Bookrunner. The ABL Credit Facility provides for revolving credit financing of up to $70 million, subject to borrowing base availability. The ABL Credit Facility was amended on March 25, 2013 to, among other items, (i) extend the maturity date to January 1, 2016 or to March 1, 2018 in the event the maturity date of the Senior Secured Notes and Senior Unsecured Loan Facility are extended to a date that is ninety days or more following March 1, 2018, (ii) reduce the Minimum Excess Availability Reserve to $1.0 million from 20% of outstanding borrowings, and (iii) reduce the excess availability threshold from 15.0% to 12.5%. In the event excess availability falls below the 12.5% threshold, Euramax would be required to meet, for the period from the amendment date to November 30, 2013, a Minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $55 million, and after November 30, 2013, a Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.15 to 1.00. At June 28, 2013, $26.9 million was available to be drawn on the ABL Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending rate published by Regions Bank as its “prime rate” for commercial loans, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (3) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is dependent upon the type of borrowings Euramax has made under the ABL Credit Facility. At June 28, 2013, the applicable margins were 2.50% and 1.50% for LIBOR and Base Rate borrowings, respectively. The applicable margins are subject to Euramax’s corporate credit rating as determined from time to time by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service and range from 2.00% to 2.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.00% to 1.75% for Base Rate borrowings. The weighted average interest rate at June 28, 2013, including the applicable margin payable on outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, was 2.7%. The ABL Credit Facility requires Euramax to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.5%, based on the unutilized commitments. Euramax is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees, including, without limitation, a letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on revolving credit LIBOR loans and fronting fees.
All obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Euramax Holdings, Amerimax Richmond Company, a wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of Euramax, and any future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries which are not borrowers. All obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first‑priority security interest in Euramax’s and the Guarantors’ inventory and accounts receivable and related assets, referred to as the ABL Collateral, and a junior‑priority security interest in (i) substantially all of Euramax’s and the Guarantors’ assets (other than inventory and accounts receivable and related assets, which assets secure the ABL Credit Facility on a first priority basis) and (ii) all of Euramax’s capital stock and the capital stock of each material domestic restricted subsidiary owned by Euramax or a Guarantor and 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of any non-voting capital stock of foreign restricted subsidiaries directly owned by Euramax or a Guarantor, which we refer to collectively as the Notes Collateral.
The ABL Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for this type of financing, including, but not limited to certain financial covenants in the event excess availability is less than 12.5% of the lesser of the aggregate amount of commitments outstanding at such time and the borrowing base. If excess availability falls below the 12.5% threshold, Euramax would be required to meet, for the period from the amendment date to November 30, 2013, a Minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $55 million for the immediately preceding twelve month period. After November 30, 2013, Euramax would be required to meet a Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.15 to 1.00 if excess availability falls below 12.5%. As of June 28, 2013, excess availability exceeded 12.5% of the borrowing base; therefore, Euramax was not required to meet the Minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Additionally, restrictive covenants limit the ability of Euramax and certain of its subsidiaries to incur liens, incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness, guarantees and other contingent obligations, consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, make certain loans and investments, amend or otherwise alter the terms of documents related to certain of their indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates and prepay certain indebtedness, in each case, subject to exclusions, and other customary covenants.
Dutch Revolving Credit Facility
In February 2012, Euramax Holding's wholly-owned subsidiary Euramax Coated Products, BV entered into a revolving credit facility with Rabobank Roermond (the "Dutch Revolving Credit Facility"). The Dutch Revolving Credit Facility provides revolving credit financing of up to EUR 15 million and matures on April 1, 2016. Borrowings under the Dutch Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum which is the aggregate of the average one month Euribor rate over a calendar month plus a margin of 2% and requires payment of a commitment fee of 0.35% per annum on the nominal amount of the credit facility. The weighted average interest rate at June 28, 2013, including the margin payable on outstanding borrowings under the Dutch Revolving Credit Facility, was 2.4%. All obligations under the Dutch Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a mortgage on the real estate of Euramax Coated Products, BV, a pledge on present and future machinery and present and future accounts receivable balances of Euramax Coated Products, BV. At June 28, 2013, $16.2 million was available to be drawn on the Dutch Revolving Credit Facility.
The Dutch Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and non-financial covenants customary for this type of financing. Financial Covenants include, but are not limited to, a minimum annual EBITDA target and a minimum amount of risk-bearing capital for Euramax Coated Products, BV, both measured at the Company's fiscal year-end. The Dutch Revolving Credit Facility also contains a clause limiting further indebtedness. As of June 28, 2013, Euramax Coated Products, BV is in compliance with all covenants.
