On March 18, 2011, Euramax International, Inc. (“Euramax International”), a 100% owned subsidiary of Euramax Holdings, Inc. ("Euramax Holdings"), issued $375 million of Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) in a private placement exempt from registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, Euramax International, Euramax Holdings, and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a new senior unsecured loan facility (the “Senior Unsecured Loan Facility”) with an aggregate principal amount of $125 million issued at 98% of par and an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “ABL Credit Facility”), which provided revolving credit financing of up to $70 million. Direct and incremental debt issuance costs related to the Notes, Senior Unsecured Loan Facility, and ABL Credit Facility, including legal fees, printing costs and bank fees totaled approximately $10.6 million and have been capitalized and reported as deferred financing costs within other assets. These costs are being amortized and recorded in interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the applicable agreement.

The Company has $535.6 million of outstanding debt that will mature in 2016. Additionally, the Company has current borrowings of $4.7 million, which the Company expects to repay during 2015. There are no other maturities of long term debt in the next five years.

Senior Secured Notes

The Notes consist of an aggregate principal amount of $375 million, which were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated March 18, 2011 among Euramax International, 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 International, and Amerimax Richmond Company, a 100% owned domestic subsidiary of Euramax International. The Notes bear interest at 9.50% per year and mature on April 1, 2016, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by Euramax International. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

The Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in (i) substantially all of the assets of Euramax International and the guarantors (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 International's capital stock and the capital stock of each material domestic restricted subsidiary owned by Euramax International 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 us or a guarantor, and a second priority security interest in the inventory, receivables and related assets.

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of Euramax International, 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:



Year	Percentage
2013	107.125	%
2014	104.750	%
2015 and thereafter	100.000	%

The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Euramax International 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 restrictive covenants also prohibit Euramax International'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 International undergoes a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), Euramax International 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.

In connection with the sale of the Notes, Euramax International, the guarantors, and the initial purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, Euramax International and the guarantors agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to publicly registered Notes having identical terms to the outstanding Notes. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Company's registration statement with respect to the Notes effective on December 22, 2011. On December 23, 2011, the Company launched a registered tender offer in which the holders of the outstanding Notes were given the opportunity to exchange their Notes for the exchange notes. The exchange offer was completed on January 26, 2012 with 100% of the $375 million 9.50% Notes due 2016 tendered in the exchange offer.

Senior Unsecured Loan Facility

On March 3, 2011, Euramax Holdings, Euramax International, and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a credit and guaranty agreement for the Senior Unsecured Loan Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million. 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 ($0.8 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 International 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 December 31, 2014 was 12.25%, as the Company has not made a PIK election.

Euramax International 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 International 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, Euramax International, and substantially all of Euramax International's existing and future direct and indirect 100% owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries.

The Senior Unsecured Loan Facility contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Euramax International 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 International, 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 and matures on March 1, 2018. However, if the Administrative Agent has not received on or before December 31, 2015, evidence satisfactory to such agent that the scheduled maturity dates of the indebtedness arising under the Indenture and the Senior Unsecured Loan Facility, in each case, have been extended to a date that is at least 90 days after March 1, 2018, then the maturity date for the ABL Credit facility will accelerate to January 31, 2016. In March 2014, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC ceased to be Co-Collateral Agent and a Lender under the ABL Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2014, $34.4 million was available to be drawn on the ABL Facility.

On March 21, 2014 and May 8, 2014, the ABL Credit Facility was amended to, among other items, (i) reduce the applicable margin rate for LIBOR borrowings from a range of 2.00% to 2.75% to a range of 1.75% to 2.25% and reduce the applicable margin rate for Base Rate borrowings from a range of 1.00% to 1.75% to a range of 1.00% to 1.25%, in each case, based on average excess availability rather than corporate credit ratings of the Company, (ii) reduce the minimum excess availability threshold to $1.0 million, (iii) reduce the fixed charge coverage ratio from 1.15 to 1.00, (iv) suspend the testing of the fixed charge coverage ratio (A) during fiscal year 2014, unless a Seasonal Overadvance A is then in effect, (B) at all other times including during fiscal year 2014 during the occurrence of a Seasonal Overadvance B or (C) during the occurrence of a Seasonal Overadvance C, (v) suspend the testing of the minimum consolidated EBITDA test except (A) during fiscal year 2014 if a Seasonal Overadvance A is then in effect, (B) at any time during the life of the ABL Credit Facility, during the occurrence of a Seasonal Overadvance B or (C) at any time during the life of the ABL Credit Facility during the occurrence of a Seasonal Overadvance C, and (vi) provide for the three mutually exclusive overadvance facilities as described below.

"Seasonal Overadvance A", in the amount of $15.0 million, is available to the Company from February 1 of each year through May 31 of each such year, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00, payment of a fee in the amount of 0.20% of the amount of such facility (the "Seasonal Overadvance Fee") and other customary conditions.

"Seasonal Overadvance B", in the amount of $9.0 million, is available to the Company from February 1 of each year through November 30 of each such year, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with a U.S. fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00, payment of the Seasonal Overadvance Fee (except to the extent already paid during such calendar year), maintenance of a U.S. fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00 and other customary conditions.

"Seasonal Overadvance C", in the amount of the lesser of (i) $6.0 million and (ii) the sum of (a) 10% of the first component of the borrowing base and (b) 10% of the second component of the borrowing base, is available to the Company from February 1 of each year through August 22 of each such year, subject to the payment of the Seasonal Overadvance Fee (except to the extent already paid during such calendar year), maintenance of a minimum consolidated EBITDA over the trailing twelve months of $52.0 million ($50.0 million for fiscal 2014) and other customary conditions.

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 the Company has made under the ABL Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2014, the applicable margins were subject to Euramax International’s Average Excess Availability Percentage for the most recently ended fiscal quarter and range from 1.75% to 2.25% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.00% to 1.25% for Base Rate borrowings. The applicable margins were subject to Euramax International's corporate credit rating as determined from time to time by Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investors Service and ranged from 2.00% to 2.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.00% to 1.75% for Base Rate borrowings. The weighted average interest rate, including the applicable margin payable on outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, at December 31, 2014 was 2.41%. The ABL Credit Facility requires Euramax International to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.5%, based on the unutilized commitments. Euramax International 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, Euramax International, and Amerimax Richmond Company, a 100% owned domestic subsidiary of Euramax International, and any future direct and indirect 100% 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 International’s and the Guarantors’ inventory and accounts receivable and related assets (the "ABL Collateral"), and a junior‑priority security interest in (i) substantially all of Euramax International’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 International’s capital stock and the capital stock of each material domestic restricted subsidiary owned by Euramax International 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 International 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. As of December 31, 2014, excess availability exceeded 12.5% of the borrowing base; therefore, Euramax International was not required to meet the minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. Additionally, restrictive covenants limit the ability of Euramax International 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, the Company's 100% owned subsidiary, Euramax Coated Products, B.V., 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 December 31, 2014, including the margin payable on outstanding borrowings under the Dutch Revolving Credit Facility, was 2.26%. All obligations under the Dutch Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a mortgage on the real estate of Euramax Coated Products, B.V., a pledge on present and future machinery and present and future accounts receivable balances of Euramax Coated Products, B.V. At December 31, 2014, $14.6 million (EUR 12.1 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, B.V., both measured at the Company's fiscal year end. The Dutch Revolving Credit Facility also contains a clause limiting further indebtedness. As of December 31, 2014, Euramax Coated Products, B.V. is in compliance with all covenants.
