16. Agreement and Plan of Merger with Central Parking Corporation

 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

On February 28, 2012, the Company, KCPC Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Central”) and the ultimate parent of Central Parking Corporation, a Tennessee corporation, Hermitage Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Kohlberg CPC Rep, L.L.C, in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Representative, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Central, with Central surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, at the effective time of the Merger, the stockholders of Central (the “Central Stockholders”) will, in aggregate, be entitled to receive 6,161,334 shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Stock”), subject to reduction under specified circumstances as provided in the Merger Agreement (the “Stock Consideration”). In addition, each Central Stockholder will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of $27,000 of total cash consideration (subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement) to be paid on the third anniversary of the closing of the Merger, to the extent not used to satisfy the Central Stockholders’ indemnity obligations that may arise under the Merger Agreement (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

 

Commitment Letter

 

Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, together with certain other financial institutions (collectively, the “Lenders”), have provided a senior debt commitment letter and related joinders, each dated February 28, 2012, to provide the Company with $450,000 in senior secured credit facilities consisting of (i) a $200,000 five year revolving credit facility and (ii) a $250,000 term loan facility. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company will assume approximately $210,000 of Central’s debt, net of cash acquired, which will be repaid at closing using the proceeds of the $450,000 senior credit facilities. In addition, the proceeds from these borrowings will be used by the Company to finance in part the Merger, the costs and expenses related to the Merger and the ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company. The obligations of the Lenders to provide the debt financing under the senior debt commitment letter is subject to a number of conditions that the Company believes are customary for financings of this type. The termination date for the commitments under the senior debt commitment letter is 180 days, subject to extension by the Lenders.

 

The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Commitment Letter, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.5 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 28, 2012.
