Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 15, 2016, BWX Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a $200 million accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "ASR Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"). The Company will acquire the shares under the ASR Agreement pursuant to its previously announced $300 million share repurchase authorization.
Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement, on September 16, 2016, the Company paid Wells Fargo $200 million in cash and received approximately 4,135,435 shares of the Company’s common stock. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the volume-weighted average stock price of the Company's common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a customary discount. At settlement, under certain circumstances, Wells Fargo may be required to deliver additional shares of common stock to the Company, or under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to deliver shares of common stock or to make a cash payment, at its election, to Wells Fargo. Final settlement of the ASR Agreement is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2017, although the settlement may be accelerated at Wells Fargo's option.
The ASR Agreement contains provisions customary for agreements of this type, including provisions for adjustments to the transaction terms, the circumstances generally under which the ASR Agreement may be accelerated, extended or terminated early by Wells Fargo and various acknowledgments, representations and warranties.
From time to time, Wells Fargo and/or its affiliates have engaged, or may engage in the future, in investment and/or commercial banking transactions with the Company for which they have received, or may receive, customary compensation, fees and expense reimbursement.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
