(1) Interim Financial Statement Presentation

The financial information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are those of WireCo WorldGroup (Cayman) Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including WireCo WorldGroup Inc., and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest (collectively, the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in United States ("U.S.") dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented, have been reflected.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. As a result of a deferral of the effective date enacted in July 2015, the new standard would be effective for public entities on January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 allows the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2014-09 and has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest,to reduce complexity in accounting standards and make the presentation of debt issuance costs consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. This ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability, rather than as an asset. ASU 2015-03 is limited to simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs and there will be no effect on the income statement. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2016 and applied it retrospectively. The adoption of this standard resulted in the Company presenting its remaining unamortized debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, and there was no impact on the Company's operating results.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. This ASU requires prospective adoption and is effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which aims to make leasing activities more transparent and comparable and requires substantially all leases be recognized by lessees on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, including leases currently accounted for as operating leases. This ASU is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which affects entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. This ASU identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. ASU 2016-09 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock Subscription Agreement

On June 25, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement"), with Onex Wildcat LLC ("Onex") pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to Onex approximately 5.0 million newly issued ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, for a majority interest in the Company, in exchange for aggregate consideration of approximately $260,000, which will be paid in cash (collectively referred to as the "Transaction"). The cash received will be

used to repay the Company’s existing credit facilities and notes and fees and expenses in connection with the transactions. The purchase price and the aggregate number of shares to be issued to Onex at closing is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement based on the amount of indebtedness of the Company as of June 30, 2016.

The Subscription Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and Onex which are customary for transactions of this type and which do not survive the closing of the Transaction. The Company has agreed, subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, to various customary covenants, including, among others, to operate its business in the ordinary course and substantially in accordance with past practice. Onex has obtained committed financing in connection with the Transaction and has agreed, subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such financing on the terms of its commitment letters. The parties have also agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any approvals from governmental authorities necessary for the Transaction, including antitrust approvals. It is expected that in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Company’s existing indebtedness will be repaid, redeemed or discharged.

The issuance of shares under the Subscription Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) the absence of any law or order that would make the Company’s issuance or Onex’s purchase of the shares illegal or would otherwise prohibit such issuance, sale or purchase, or would otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions; (ii) expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods, or receipt of applicable approvals, under applicable antitrust laws, including European Commission approval and the expiration of waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (iii) the availability of the senior debt financing required to consummate the Transaction; and (iv) the satisfaction of the conditions to repayment, redemption or discharge of the Company’s existing financing. The Subscription Agreement contains customary termination rights for both the Company and Onex, including the right of either party to terminate the Subscription Agreement if the closing shall not have occurred on or before October 31, 2016. A termination fee may be payable by Onex if financing for the Transaction cannot be obtained by closing in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement.

The Company recognized an unrealized loss on foreign currency forward contracts of $127 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 that was recorded in Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Refer to Note 6—“Fair Value Measurements” for additional information regarding the fair value of the Company’s derivative arrangements included in the consolidated balance sheets.

(6) Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets for these items approximate fair market value due to their relative short-term nature.

The table below sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative instruments using present value measurements based on the spot rate, forward option spreads and other relevant market conditions.

		June 30, 2016
		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Derivatives Designated	Balance Sheet Classification
Cross-currency swaps	Current derivative assets	$	—	$	—	$	—
Cross-currency swap	Other current liabilities	—		—		—
Foreign currency forward contract	Other current liabilities	—		127		—

		December 31, 2015

Derivatives Designated	Balance Sheet Classification
Cross-currency swaps	Non-current derivative assets	$	—	$	47,519	$	—
Cross-currency swap	Other non-current liabilities	—		208		—
Foreign currency forward contract	Other current liabilities	—		—		—

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s outstanding debt at June 30, 2016 were as follows:

	Carrying amount		Estimated fair value
Revolving Loan Facility	$	53,005	$	53,005
Term Loan due 2017	298,413		297,856
9.00% Senior Notes due 2017	56,000		55,300
9.50% Senior Notes due 2017	425,170		420,750

As the Revolving Loan Facility is a revolving credit agreement, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The estimated fair value of the Term Loan due 2017 is based on rates currently available for obligations with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 inputs). The estimated fair value of the 9.00% Senior Notes is based on a model that incorporates assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the liability (Level 3 inputs) and the estimated fair value of the 9.50% Senior Notes is based on current market rates in inactive markets (Level 2 inputs).

Options	Number of options		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual term (years)
Outstanding at December 31, 2015	508,591		$	171.15

Exercisable at June 30, 2016	414,858		151.77		2.6

At June 30, 2016, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of the Company's service-based stock option awards that remains to be expensed was $4,530, with the weighted average remaining years to vest of approximately 1.42 years. On August 1, 2016, the Company provided notice to its option and equity holders that pursuant to the 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan, all outstanding options, vested and unvested, shall be canceled upon the closing of the Transaction.

(8) Restructuring Charges

As part of the Company's initiatives to manage costs in response to the challenges in certain end markets, the Company reduced its production and administrative workforce during 2016. Restructuring charges related to employee termination and related benefits were recorded in Administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The accrual balance is included in Other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

A rollforward of this restructuring activity is set forth below:

Balance at December 31, 2015	$	1,118
Restructuring charges incurred in 2016	2,632
Payments made in 2016	(1,929		)
Balance at June 30, 2016	$	1,821

(9) Income Taxes

The Company determines the interim tax provision by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date pretax book income (loss) and adjusts for discrete items during the reporting period, if any. Tax jurisdictions with losses for which tax benefits cannot be realized are excluded. Additionally, for certain tax jurisdictions where a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense or benefit cannot be made, the Company applied the actual effective tax rate to year-to-date income.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 0.6% and (80.5)%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was (11.3)% and 4.3%, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rates differ from the applicable statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions, mix of earnings (losses) by jurisdictions and the effects of foreign tax rate differences.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms “WireCo,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” in the following refers to WireCo WorldGroup (Cayman) Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including WireCo WorldGroup Inc., and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) provides a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources on a historical basis and certain other factors that have affected recent earnings, as well as those factors that may affect future earnings. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this quarterly report. Additionally, our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect the current views and assumptions of management with respect to future events regarding our business and industry in general. These forward-looking statements include all statements, other than statements of historical fact, regarding our financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” or the negative of those words or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this quarterly report are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. You are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Such factors include, among others:

• the general economic conditions in markets and countries where we have operations;

• fluctuations in end market demand;

• foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

• risks associated with our non-U.S. operations;

• our ability to meet quality standards;

• our ability to protect our trade names;

• the competitive environment in which we operate;

• changes in the availability or cost of raw materials and energy;

• risks associated with our manufacturing activities;

• violations of laws and regulations;

• the impact of environmental issues and changes in environmental laws and regulations;

• our ability to successfully execute and integrate acquisitions;

• an information technology system failure or breach of security;

• comparability of our specified scaled disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies;

• labor disturbances, including any resulting from suspension or termination of our collective bargaining agreements;

• our significant indebtedness;

• covenant restrictions;

• the interests of our principal equity holder may not be aligned with the holders of our 9.5% Senior Notes; and

• credit-rating downgrades.

Any forward-looking statements that we make in this quarterly report speak only as of the date of such statement and we undertake no obligation to update such statements. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. This MD&A includes various financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP, commonly referred to as “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

23

These Non-GAAP Financial Measures include:

• Adjusted EBITDA

• Credit Agreement EBITDA

• Adjusted Working Capital

• Net Debt

• Free Cash Flow

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP, and may be different from Non-GAAP Financial Measures used by other companies. These measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute for, or superior to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We recommend that investors view these measures in conjunction with the GAAP measures included in this MD&A and have provided reconciliations of reported GAAP amounts to the Non-GAAP amounts. Also, in the respective sections of MD&A, we explain the ways in which management uses these Non-GAAP Financial Measures to evaluate our business and the reasons why management believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide useful information to investors.

Second Quarter 2016 Executive Summary

We provide steel and synthetic rope, specialty wire and engineered products across multiple customers and geographies which results in a diversified revenue stream. The long-term sales growth and profitability of our product portfolio is dependent not only on increased demand in the end markets which we serve and the overall economic environment, but also on our ability to increase our existing market share and expand our presence geographically, continuously improve operational excellence, identify, consummate and integrate strategic acquisitions and develop and market innovative new products. 

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we reported sales of $156.4 million, a net loss of $21.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $25.6 million compared to sales of $173.8 million, a net loss of $15.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $27.1 million for the same period in 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we reported sales of $305.4 million, a net loss of $42.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $49.1 million compared to sales of $354.2 million, a net loss of $19.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $54.4 million for the same period in 2015. Given our global operations, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the first half of 2015 had a negative impact on our results for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  For the six months ended June 30, 2016, approximately 70% of our sales were generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The euro, Polish zloty and Mexican peso all devalued in relation to the U.S. dollar compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.  Given the translation of our international results into U.S. dollars, this devaluation unfavorably impacted our sales by $2.0 million and $8.2 million and our Adjusted EBITDA by $0.5 million and $1.7 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The foreign currency exchange impact on cash for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is a decrease of $0.3 million.

As a result of the weakening global oil, gas and crane rope markets, we announced in March 2016 the phased shutdown and ultimate closure of our steel wire rope manufacturing facility in St. Joseph, Missouri. The machinery and equipment will be moved to our other facilities and the land and buildings will be sold to a non-competitor located next door to our facility. We will continue to operate our fabricated products facility in St. Joseph at its existing site. Also in response to these weakening end markets, we reduced our factory workforce and implemented workforce reductions in several administrative departments. In addition, we took other cost containment measures in procurement and other non-personnel selling and administrative expenses. The disciplined management of capital expenditures continues to contribute to our cost savings initiatives.

We continue to believe that our targeted strategies will provide attractive long-term opportunities for sustainable growth despite short-term challenges in some of our end markets. We remain focused on maintaining our financial strength by adjusting our cost structure to reflect changes in demand levels and by proactively managing working capital and cash flow generation.

As discussed in Note 1—“Interim Financial Statement Presentation” to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report, on June 25, 2016, we entered into a Stock Subscription Agreement with Onex pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to Onex approximately 5.0 million newly issued ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, for a majority interest in the Company, in exchange for aggregate consideration of approximately $260.0 million, which will be paid in cash. The cash received will be used to repay the Company's existing credit facilities and notes and fees and expenses in connection with the transactions. The purchase price and the aggregate number of shares to be issued to Onex at closing is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement based on the amount of indebtedness of the Company as of June 30, 2016.

Consolidated Results of Operations

This section focuses on significant items that impacted our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Our results of operations have been converted to U.S. dollars from multiple currencies, which primarily include the euro, Polish zloty and Mexican peso. Our revenues and certain expenses are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against these local currencies.

Net sales

Our consolidated net sales decreased$17.4 million, or 10.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations contributed $2.0 million of the decrease due to the depreciation of the Polish zloty and Mexican peso when comparing the average exchange rates for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the average exchange rates for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, rope sales for the quarter decreased$17.4 million primarily due to decreased sales in the oil and gas, industrial and infrastructure and maritime end markets. Sales to our offshore oil and gas end market decreased $6.1 million primarily due to timing of projects. Sales to our onshore oil and gas end market decreased $5.8 million primarily driven by a slowdown in domestic drilling activity evidenced by the decline in rig count. According to Baker Hughes, the average North American onshore rig count for the second quarter of 2016 was 448 compared to 971 in the second quarter of 2015, a 53.9% decline, and the rig count at June 30, 2016 was 486 compared to 962 at June 30, 2015. Sales to our industrial and infrastructure end market decreased $5.3 million primarily due to decreased demand for general purpose ropes related to oil and gas activities and weakening original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") crane backlogs. Sales to our maritime end market decreased $3.1 million primarily due to a global decline in ocean cargo shipments. Partially offsetting these decreases, sales to our mining end market increased $1.7 million and sales to our structures end market increased $1.2 million primarily due to timing of projects. Rope sales represented 70% of our total consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 72% for the same period in 2015.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, specialty wire sales increased$1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period last year primarily due to more Mexican governmental infrastructure projects than the second quarter of 2015. Specialty wire sales represented 19% of our total consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 18% for the same period in 2015.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, engineered products sales increased$0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period last year. Engineered product sales represented 11% of our total consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 10% for the same period in 2015.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased$3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, and gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) increased from 23.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to 23.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decline in gross profit was directly related to the decline in sales, and the higher gross margin was due to cost savings initiatives executed throughout 2015 and the first half of 2016.

Selling expenses decreased$1.2 million, or 12.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. We incurred $0.7 million less labor expenses, $0.2 million less external distributor commissions and $0.2 million less travel and entertainment expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to cost savings initiatives and the decline in net sales during the period.

We incurred $1.9 million less bonus expenses in the second quarter of 2016 than the same period last year primarily due to workforce reductions. Partially offsetting this decrease, severance expense was $0.7 million higher during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to workforce reductions.

Income tax expense/benefit

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million compared to an income tax expense of $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The resulting effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 was 0.6% and (80.5)%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the applicable statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions, mix of earnings (losses) by jurisdictions and the effects of foreign tax rate differences.

Net sales

Our consolidated net sales decreased$48.7 million, or 13.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations contributed $8.2 million of the decrease due to the depreciation of the euro, Polish zloty and Mexican peso when comparing the average exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the average exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, rope sales for the quarter decreased$39.0 million primarily due to decreased sales in the oil and gas, industrial and infrastructure and maritime end markets. Sales to our onshore oil and gas end market decreased $19.1 million primarily driven by a slowdown in domestic drilling activity evidenced by the decline in rig count. According to Baker Hughes, the average North American onshore rig count during the first six months of 2016 was 569 compared to 1,318 during the same period in 2015, a 56.8% decline. Sales to our industrial and infrastructure end market decreased $8.9 million primarily due to decreased demand for general purpose ropes related to oil and gas activities and weakening OEM crane backlogs. Sales to our offshore oil and gas end market decreased $6.1 million primarily due to timing of projects. Sales to our maritime end market decreased $4.5 million primarily due to a global decline in ocean cargo shipments. Rope sales represented 71% of our total consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 72% for the same period in 2015.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, specialty wire sales increased$0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period last year. Specialty wire sales represented 19% of our total consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 18% for the same period in 2015.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, engineered products sales decreased$2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower sales of traditional offshore projects driven by the downturn in the oil and gas industry. Engineered product sales represented 10% of our total consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 10% for the same period in 2015.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased$8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, and gross margin increased from 23.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to 24.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decline in gross profit was directly related to the decline in sales, and the higher gross margin was due to cost savings initiatives executed throughout 2015 and the first half of 2016.

Income tax expense/benefit

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an income tax expense of $4.3 million compared to an income tax benefit of $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The resulting effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was (11.3)% and 4.3%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the applicable statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions, mix of earnings (losses) by jurisdictions and the effects of foreign tax rate differences.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure, defined in the indenture governing the 9.50% Senior Notes, as net income (loss) plus, without duplication: interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted by (i) all fees and costs incurred in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition or offering of debt or equity securities, (ii) realized and unrealized gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions, (iii) payments of advisory fees pursuant to the Management Fee Letter with Paine & Partners, LLC, (iv) all amounts deducted in arriving at net income (loss) in respect of severance packages payable in connection with the termination of any officer, director or employee, (v) business optimization expenses and other reorganization or restructuring charges, reserves or expenses (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will include, without limitation, the effect of inventory optimization programs, plant closures, facility consolidations, retention, system establishment costs, contract termination costs, future lease commitments and excess pension

28

charges), (vi) other expenses, such as share-based compensation expense and income (loss) on our investments in joint ventures, and (vii) non-cash items, other than the accrual of revenue in the ordinary course of business.

We use this Non-GAAP Financial Measure internally to evaluate our performance, allocate resources and for incentive compensation purposes. We believe that our presentation of this measure provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and is useful for peer comparisons.

Credit Agreement EBITDA

Credit Agreement EBITDA is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure, defined in the Credit Agreement as Consolidated Net Income, adjusted by adding thereto, (a) to the extent deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income, the sum of (i) Consolidated Interest Expense, (ii) provision for Taxes based on income of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) Closing Date Transaction Expenses incurred in connection with the Closing Date Transactions, (v) Transaction Expenses of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, provided that the amount of Transaction Expenses included pursuant to this clause (v) shall not exceed (a) with respect to Transaction Expenses paid to the Sponsor, 1.0% of the value of the applicable transaction and (b) with respect to Transaction Expenses paid to any other Person, such Transaction Expenses as are normal and customary, (vi) non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, (vii) non-recurring or unusual losses or expenses (including non-recurring or unusual losses on permitted sales or dispositions of assets and casualty events), (viii) all other non-cash charges that represent an accrual to the extent no cash is expected to be paid in the next twelve months (excluding any such non-cash item to the extent that it represents an accrual or reserve for potential cash items in any future period or amortization of a prepaid cash item that was paid in a prior period), (ix) Permitted Management Fees paid during such period, (x) non-cash, restricted stock award charges, (xi) unrealized non- cash losses resulting from foreign currency balance sheet adjustments required by GAAP, (xii) severance packages payable in connection with the termination of the ten highest paid officers, directors or employees of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000 from the Closing Date until the date of determination and (xiii) non-cash minority interest expense; minus (b) to the extent included in determining Consolidated Net Income, the sum of (i) extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual gains (including extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual income or gains on permitted sales or dispositions of assets and casualty events), (ii) all other non-cash income to the extent no cash is expected to be received in the next twelve months (excluding any such non-cash item to the extent it represents the reversal of and accrual or reserve for potential cash item in any prior period), (iii) unrealized non-cash gains resulting from foreign currency balance sheet adjustments required by GAAP, and (iv) non-cash minority interest income.

We use this Non-GAAP Financial Measure to calculate debt covenant ratios, to the extent it differs from Adjusted EBITDA as described above. We believe that our presentation of this measure provides investors with greater transparency with respect to the inputs utilized to determine covenant compliance. For the last twelve months ended June 30, 2016, our Credit Agreement EBITDA is $116.3 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash from operations and borrowings under our Revolving Loan Facility. Our principal uses of cash are to fund working capital and capital expenditures, support operations and service our debt. Our liquidity is influenced by many factors, including the amount and timing of cash collections from our customers and fluctuations in the cost of our raw materials. As discussed in Note 4—“Borrowings” to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report, our debt financing consists of secured credit facilities due in February 2017 and senior notes due in May 2017. We plan to either raise additional equity capital or refinance our current debt, or some combination thereof, in order to satisfy these obligations before they become due. Onex has obtained committed financing such that the proceeds of such financing, together with the$260.0 millionequity investment from Onex and cash on hand at the Company, will be sufficient to repay the Company's existing credit facilities and notes before the debt becomes due.The Transaction is expected to substantially reduce our leverage and annual interest expense is expected to be reduced by over $20.0 million.

Total available liquidity, defined as availability under our Revolving Loan Facility plus cash and cash equivalents, was $114.9 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $122.1 million at December 31, 2015. Availability under the Revolving Loan Facility is based upon the maximum borrowing capacity of $145.0 million, less outstanding borrowings, letters of credit and if applicable, further restricted by certain covenants in our credit agreements.

We reinvest the earnings of substantially all of our subsidiaries in those respective operations. The foreign operating subsidiaries use cash generated from earnings to fund working capital, invest in capital expenditures and service interest and principal payments on intercompany debt. Our outstanding debt is issued by the U.S. operating subsidiary and there are intercompany loans within the Company's legal structure that are paid with earnings from the operating subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions to provide liquidity in the U.S. for interest and principal payments on our outstanding debt. Of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance of $43.1 million at June 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries were $36.2 million, of which $5.9 million was in U.S. dollars. The cash balances in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are primarily in the euro and can be readily converted to U.S. dollars. It is our present intention to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings associated with our foreign subsidiaries, and our current plans do not require repatriation of these earnings other than servicing intercompany loans.

Working Capital Management

Within our asset base, working capital management is our largest opportunity for cash generation. During these challenging market conditions, we continue to monitor working capital and our cash conversion cycle. Working Capital, which is all current assets minus all current liabilities, decreased from $216.2 million at December 31, 2015 to $(571.0) million at June 30, 2016. Adjusted Working Capital, a Non-GAAP Financial Measure defined as accounts receivable plus inventories less accounts payable and customer advances, increased from $230.4 million at December 31, 2015 to $239.8 million at June 30, 2016. The decrease in Working Capital was due to our secured credit facilities and senior notes being considered current liabilities as they

30

mature in February 2017 and May 2017, respectively. Also, we saw declines in accounts receivable and accounts payable related to the reduced demand in certain key end markets of our business. Our days sales outstanding increased from 66 days at December 31, 2015 to 69 days at June 30, 2016 due to supporting customers in our challenging end markets with longer terms. Our days payable outstanding decreased from 54 days at December 31, 2015 to 51 days at June 30, 2016. Adjusted Working Capital as a percentage of annualized second quarter sales was 38.3% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to 36.4% for the fourth quarter of 2015 with a cash conversion cycle of 160 days and 152 days for the respective periods. We use Adjusted Working Capital to monitor our liquidity and believe that Adjusted Working Capital provides a meaningful measure of our efforts to manage inventory, our customer collections and vendor payments.

Cash flows from operating activities increased in the six months ended June 30, 2016 over the prior period primarily due to greater cash earnings related to terminating our outstanding cross-currency swap agreements. Cash earnings is our net loss adjusted for non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization among other reconciling items.

discretionary capital investments that we plan to make as we believe they would generate an immediate return.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	3,351		$	(10,541	)

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we received net cash provided by financing activities of $3.4 million. During the second quarter of 2016, we paid $5.8 million on our Term Loan due 2017 related to the annual excess cash flow payment required pursuant to the Credit Agreement compared to a payment of $14.7 million during the same period in 2015.

Long-term Debt

For a detailed discussion of our long-term debt, see Note 6—“Borrowings” to our audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Net Debt

At June 30, 2016, our total debt, including capital leases, was $834.8 million compared to Net Debt of $789.9 million, with the difference being cash currently and eventually available to pay down our outstanding debt. Net Debt is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure defined as consolidated total debt at face value plus capital lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Total debt increased$3.4 million from year-end primarily due to our decision to leave more cash in our European and Brazilian entities for liquidity reasons during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net Debt decreased primarily because the increase in our cash and cash equivalents balance was greater than the increase in total debt. Our Net Leverage ratio, Net Debt to the last twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA, increased to 6.81x at June 30, 2016, compared to 6.34x at December 31, 2015, due to the decline in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of challenging market conditions. We believe Net Debt is meaningful to investors because management assesses our leverage position after factoring in available cash and restricted cash that eventually could be used to repay outstanding debt.

As of June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all restrictive and financial covenants associated with our borrowings. As defined in our respective credit agreements, the Senior Secured Net Leverage to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 2.67x at June 30, 2016 compared to the maximum ratio of 3.00x. As defined in our respective credit agreements, the interest coverage ratio was 1.85x at June 30, 2016 compared to a required ratio of no less than 1.50x. Based on our current assessment of our operating plan, we expect to remain in compliance with our debt covenants throughout 2016.

Free Cash Flow

We generated cash flow from operations of $28.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $18.9 million in Free Cash Flow generated during the same period in 2015. Free Cash Flow, a Non-GAAP Financial Measure, is defined as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, and further adjusted by effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents and other items. Our Free Cash Flow is lower than cash flow from operations primarily due to capital expenditures.

We believe that the Free Cash Flow measure is meaningful to investors because it represents the cash flow we have available to pay down debt and/or invest for future growth. We use Free Cash Flow internally for incentive compensation purposes. It is important to note that Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure. Free Cash Flow is also equivalent to the change in Net Debt.

The following is a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow:

	Six months ended
	June 30,
	2016			2015
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP)	$	28,052		$	11,704
Less: capital expenditures	(9,013		)	(17,462		)
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents	(326		)	(3,852		)
Other items	223			240
Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP)	$	18,936		$	(9,370	)

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of June 30, 2016, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments from those reported in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Our liquidity is not dependent on the use of off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than in connection with our operating leases, which have not materially changed from the disclosure in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended

33

December 31, 2015. We also periodically maintain standby letters of credit for purchase of inventory, contract performance on certain sales contracts and other guarantees of our performance.

Critical Accounting Policies

A discussion of our critical accounting policies can be found in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since year-end.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 1—“Interim Financial Statement Presentation” to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for recently issued accounting standards.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Other than as described below, there was no material change from the information included in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. The volatility in foreign currency exchange rates resulted in significant unrealized foreign currency exchange gains of $3.6 million on intercompany loans denominated in U.S. dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, we had intercompany loans that required remeasurement in the aggregate amount of $360.4 million, of which $268.8 million were with a subsidiary whose functional currency is the euro. The unrealized foreign currency exchange gains (losses) due to a hypothetical 10% change in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar to the euro, Polish zloty and Mexican peso are shown in the following table:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2016
	(in thousands)
	+10%			-10%
Unrealized foreign currency exchange gains (losses) due to hypothetical 10% rate movement:
U.S. dollar to euro	$	(36,054	)	$	46,497
U.S. dollar to Polish zloty	(10,270		)	6,937
U.S. dollar to Mexican peso	(382		)	78

At times, we have partially hedged foreign currency exchange rate volatility through the use of derivative instruments. During 2014, we entered into cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional value of $300.0 million, and during 2015, we entered into a cross-currency swap with a notional value of $125.0 million to hedge exposures to foreign currency exchange rate risk. During May 2016, the Company terminated all of its outstanding cross-currency swap agreements. Refer to Note 5—“Derivative Financial Instruments” to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for further information on these cross-currency swap contracts.

Cross-currency swaps:
Fair value at December 31, 2015	$	47,311
Realized loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016	(18,607		)
Proceeds from derivative instruments	(28,704		)
Fair value at June 30, 2016	—

Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate some foreign currency exchange rate risk, we do not hedge all of our foreign currency exposures, and there can be no assurance that our mitigating activities related to the exposures that we hedge will adequately protect us against risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations.

(i)No Company Benefit Plan is under, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, has received any notice of, an audit or investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor or any other Governmental Entity, and no such completed audit, if any, has

(k)Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(k), the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement alone, or in combination with any other event (where such other event would not alone have an effect described in this sentence), will not accelerate the time of payment or vesting or increase the amount, or require the funding, of compensation or benefits due to any employee, director or other individual service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Company Benefit Plan or an obligation to employ any such person for any particular length of time.

(l)No compensatory amount that would be received as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any employee or independent contractor of the Company or its Subsidiaries under any Company Benefit Plan would reasonably be expected to be nondeductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code.

(m)Each Company Benefit Plan that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been operated and maintained in all material respects in operational and documentary compliance with Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder during the respective time periods in which such operational or documentary compliance has been required.

The Buyer does not have any reason to believe that the Initial Borrower, the Buyer or the Sponsor will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis all terms and conditions to be satisfied by them in any of the Commitment Letters on or prior to the Closing Date, nor to the knowledge of Buyer, does Buyer have any reason to believe that any of the Lenders will not perform its obligations thereunder.

Buyer has irrevocably paid in full (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees and expenses required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letters on or before the date of this Agreement, and will continue to timely pay in full (or caused to be paid) any such amounts arising under the Commitment Letters as and when they become due and payable.

(d)In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Buyer shall take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate impediments or objections, if any, that may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any antitrust Law so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable, including (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divesture, disposition, license of any of its assets, properties, businesses, rights, or product lines of the Buyer or its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing), or any interests therein, and (ii) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that after the Closing Date would limit the Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, one or more of the assets, properties, businesses, rights, or product lines of the Buyer or its Subsidiaries (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries), in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any decree, order or judgment

Page 33

(whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would restrain, prevent, or delay the Closing. In addition, the Buyer shall use its best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would restrain, prevent, or delay the Closing.

Section 5.4Financing.

(a)Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to consummate and obtain the proceeds of the Financing prior to the End Date on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters, including, in each case, using its reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letters; and (ii) comply with its obligations in the Commitment Letters and the Definitive Agreements. The Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate all of the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the Definitive Agreements) consistent with the terms and conditions contained therein (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) or on other terms no less favorable to the Company (including with respect to the conditionality thereof) and all closing deliverables related thereto (including corporate resolutions, organizational documents, certificates, opinions of counsel, borrowing base certificates and other documents related thereto) on or prior to August 15, 2016 and enter into the Definitive Agreements and deliver such closing deliverables on or prior such date.

Page 34

In the event that all conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letters have been satisfied (or upon funding of the Equity Commitment will be satisfied), Buyer shall (i) cause the Equity Financing to be funded, and (ii) upon and subject to the funding of the Equity Financing, will cause the Lenders to fund the Debt Financing to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company to pay related fees and expenses on the Closing Date. Buyer shall comply with its obligations, and enforce its rights, under the Commitment Letters. Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed): (A) permit any material amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to, or any material waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letters (or, following entry into the Definitive Agreements related to the financing, such Definitive Agreements) if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy (w) adds new (or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any existing) conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Financing, (x) reduces the amount of the Financing below the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) adversely affects the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof or in the Definitive Agreements, or (z) would otherwise be reasonably expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or to materially adversely affect any other term material to the Existing Shareholders (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement); or (B) terminate, or permit the termination of, any Commitment Letter, unless such Commitment Letter is replaced with a new commitment that, were it structured as an amendment to an existing Commitment Letter, would satisfy the requirements of the foregoing clause (A). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prevent the Buyer from replacing or amending the Debt Commitment Letters in order to add lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities which had not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date hereof or as required pursuant to the market flex provisions in the applicable fee letters. Buyer shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or replacement. In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to: (1) obtain alternative debt financing (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with the proceeds from the Equity Financing, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses) from the same or other sources that are on terms that are no less favorable to the Company, and (2) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term Debt Commitment Letters shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any alternative debt financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Debt Commitment Letter remaining in effect at the time in question), as well as all amendments, modifications and supplements permitted under this Agreement. Buyer shall provide the Company with prompt notice of (I) any breach or default by any party to any Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements of which Buyer becomes aware or (II) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any financing source with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements of any provision thereof. Upon written request, Buyer shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Financing.

Page 35

At Closing, the Company shall assume all of the rights, interest, obligations and liabilities of the Initial Borrower under the Definitive Documents and the Initial Borrower shall be fully released from all obligations and liabilities with respect thereto.

(c)The parties hereby agree that if the Buyer is required to fund any additional amounts at the Closing to satisfy the obligations to consummate the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay all related fees and expenses, including any ticking fees, (a Closing Date Funding Increase), including where the Initial Borrower exercises its rights under the Debt Commitment Letters to fund additional amounts under the Debt Financing on the Closing Date in an amount to fund any additional original issue discount or upfront fees payable pursuant to the “market flex” provisions of the Fee Letter dated as of the date hereof and delivered in connection with the Senior Debt Commitment Letter, then such Closing Date Funding Increase shall be incurred: first, under the facilities provided for by the Junior Debt Commitment Letter in an amount not to exceed $15,000,000 (the Junior Facilities) to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the Senior Debt Commitment Letter, and, second, solely to the extent that the amount of the Closing Date Funding Increase exceeds such amount, by an additional equity contribution by the Buyer not exceeding the remaining amount required to be funded (and at the Final Per Share Price); provided, however, that the other shareholders of the Company shall be entitled to contribute their pro rata share of any such amount required to be funded in equity and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable to the Buyer at Closing shall only be adjusted to reflect such additional equity contribution to the extent that any shareholder fails to contribute its pro rata share. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Section 5.4(c), a Closing Date Funding Increase shall be incurred first under the “asset-based” revolving facility provided for by the Senior Debt Commitment Letter (the ABL Facility) in an aggregate amount, together with all other draws under the ABL Facility, not to exceed $10,000,000, solely for the amount of the Closing Date Funding Increase due to changes in the working capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries occurring in the ordinary course of business

Page 37

(it being agreed that any such incurrence in excess of $4,250,000 shall be due solely to temporary changes in working capital, and that any change which the Chief Financial Officer of the Company reasonably expects to repay within 30 calendar days of the Closing Date shall be considered temporary).

End Date ) and the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) shall not have breached its obligations in any manner that shall have been the primary cause of or resulted in the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or before the End Date.

Section 8.2Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated as permitted by Section 8.1, the provisions of this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no further force and effect (other than this Section 8.2, Article 9 and the Confidentiality Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of the Buyer or the Company to one another, except for fraud or knowing and willful breaches of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement prior to the time of such termination.

Section 8.3Buyer Termination Fee

(a)Buyer shall pay to the Company a fee of $15,000,000 plus all reasonable fees, expenses and indemnity and other payments (if any) owing any Person by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Financing (including to the Financing Sources) (such fee and other amounts, collectively, the Termination Fee) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 (other than Sections 8.1(b) and 8.1(c)) and, at the time of such termination, (x) (i) the condition to Closing set forth in Section 6.1(c) shall not have been satisfied (other than where the failure to satisfy such condition has resulted from the Company’s failure to comply in any material respect with its obligations under Section 5.4(b)(ii)(B)), and (ii) all other conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall have been satisfied (other than the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.1(d) and 6.2(d) (to the extent the actions and deliveries referred to in Sections 6.1(d) and 6.2(d) would only be undertaken in connection with a Closing following the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions in Article VI) and those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at (but not contingent upon) the Closing but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions) or (y) (i) all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall have been satisfied (other than the condition to Closing set forth in Sections 6.1(d) and 6.2(d) (to the extent the actions and deliveries referred to in Sections 6.1(d) and 6.2(d) would only be undertaken in connection with a Closing following the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions in Article VI) and those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions) and (ii) Buyer fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2. Any such Termination Fee due under this Section 8.3(a) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Business Day immediately following the date of termination of this Agreement.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Termination Fee is payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company’s receipt of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall, subject to Section 10.2, be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company against Buyer or the Financing Sources, or any of their respective former, current, or future general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, affiliates, agents, representatives, successors or assigns for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and upon payment of such amounts, none of Buyer or the Financing Sources, or any of their respective former, current, or future general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, affiliates, agents, representatives, successors or assigns

Page 42

shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Company and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in Section 8.3(a) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement and the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that in the event that the Company is paid the Termination Fee, the receipt of the Termination Fee by the Company shall not be deemed a penalty, but shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses suffered or expenses incurred by the Company in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended by the Company and its Affiliates, and its and their representatives, and the opportunities foregone by the Company, while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Closing, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. If Buyer fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(a), and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a claim that results in a judgment or order in its favor for such payment, Buyer shall pay to the Company all out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with such claim, together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the prime interest rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such interest begins accruing.

(c)This Section 8.3 shall not limit the ability of the parties to enforce the Confidentiality Agreement nor shall it limit the right of the parties to seek specific performance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided that under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Termination Fee.

Section 10.2Enforcement. (a)    Subject to Section 10.2(b), the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur, and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

Each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. To the extent any party hereto brings an action, suit or proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an action to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement), the End Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the resolution of such action, suit or proceeding or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, suit or proceeding.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance to cause the Buyer to obtain the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter, to cause the Junior Lenders to fund under the Junior Debt Commitment Letter and to cause the Buyer to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.2 only in the event that (i) all of the conditions in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing (including Section 6.2(d)) but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) are satisfied or waived at the time when the Closing would have occurred pursuant to the terms hereof and remain satisfied or waived, (ii) the Buyer fails to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2, and (iii) the Company has confirmed in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing and the Equity Financing are funded, then the Closing will occur; provided that in no event shall the Company be entitled to seek specific performance directly against the Financing Sources to cause the Financing Sources to fund under the Senior Debt Commitment Letter.

Section 10.3Publicity. The Company and the Buyer agree that, no public release or announcement concerning this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued or made by or on behalf of any party without the prior consent of the other party hereto, except that the Company and its Affiliates may make announcements from time to time to their respective employees, customers, suppliers and other business relations and otherwise as they may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with applicable Law (including applicable securities Laws or the rules or regulations of any applicable securities exchange).

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Interim Financial Statement Presentation

(1) Interim Financial Statement Presentation

The financial information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are those of WireCo WorldGroup (Cayman) Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including WireCo WorldGroup Inc., and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest (collectively, the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in United States ("U.S.") dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented, have been reflected.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. As a result of a deferral of the effective date enacted in July 2015, the new standard would be effective for public entities on January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 allows the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2014-09 and has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest,to reduce complexity in accounting standards and make the presentation of debt issuance costs consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. This ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability, rather than as an asset. ASU 2015-03 is limited to simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs and there will be no effect on the income statement. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2016 and applied it retrospectively. The adoption of this standard resulted in the Company presenting its remaining unamortized debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, and there was no impact on the Company's operating results.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. This ASU requires prospective adoption and is effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which aims to make leasing activities more transparent and comparable and requires substantially all leases be recognized by lessees on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, including leases currently accounted for as operating leases. This ASU is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which affects entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. This ASU identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. ASU 2016-09 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock Subscription Agreement

On June 25, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement"), with Onex Wildcat LLC ("Onex") pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to Onex approximately 5.0 million newly issued ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, for a majority interest in the Company, in exchange for aggregate consideration of approximately $260,000, which will be paid in cash (collectively referred to as the "Transaction"). The cash received will be used to repay the Company’s existing credit facilities and notes and fees and expenses in connection with the transactions. The purchase price and the aggregate number of shares to be issued to Onex at closing is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement based on the amount of indebtedness of the Company as of June 30, 2016.

The Subscription Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and Onex which are customary for transactions of this type and which do not survive the closing of the Transaction. The Company has agreed, subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, to various customary covenants, including, among others, to operate its business in the ordinary course and substantially in accordance with past practice. Onex has obtained committed financing in connection with the Transaction and has agreed, subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such financing on the terms of its commitment letters. The parties have also agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any approvals from governmental authorities necessary for the Transaction, including antitrust approvals. It is expected that in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Company’s existing indebtedness will be repaid, redeemed or discharged.

The issuance of shares under the Subscription Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) the absence of any law or order that would make the Company’s issuance or Onex’s purchase of the shares illegal or would otherwise prohibit such issuance, sale or purchase, or would otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions; (ii) expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods, or receipt of applicable approvals, under applicable antitrust laws, including European Commission approval and the expiration of waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (iii) the availability of the senior debt financing required to consummate the Transaction; and (iv) the satisfaction of the conditions to repayment, redemption or discharge of the Company’s existing financing. The Subscription Agreement contains customary termination rights for both the Company and Onex, including the right of either party to terminate the Subscription Agreement if the closing shall not have occurred on or before October 31, 2016. A termination fee may be payable by Onex if financing for the Transaction cannot be obtained by closing in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement.

The Company currently has $352,110 of outstanding debt which matures on February 15, 2017 and $481,000 of outstanding debt which matures on May 15, 2017. The Company plans to either raise additional equity capital or refinance its current debt, or some combination thereof, in order to satisfy these obligations before they become due. As discussed in Note 1—“Interim Financial Statement Presentation”, Onex has obtained committed financing such that the proceeds of the credit facilities, together with the$260,000equity investment from Onex and cash on hand at the Company, will be sufficient to repay the Company's existing credit facilities and notes before the debt becomes due.

The Company's maximum borrowing capacity under the Revolving Loan Facility is $145,000. As of June 30, 2016, availability under the Revolving Loan Facility was $71,807. Availability is based upon the maximum borrowing capacity, less outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, and if applicable, further restricted by certain covenants in the Company's credit agreements. Outstanding letters of credit were $20,188 at June 30, 2016. The variable interest rate on the Revolving Loan Facility and Term Loan due 2017 at June 30, 2016 was 5.33% and 6.00%, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

(5) Derivative Financial Instruments

During September 2014, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps with three counterparties to economically hedge exposures to foreign currency exchange risk related to its global operations. The notional value of the cross-currency swaps is $300,000, at a weighted average foreign currency exchange rate of $1.00 to €0.7820, and matures in February 2017. In accordance with the cross-currency swap agreements, on a semi-annual basis, the Company pays interest on €234,597 at a weighted average fixed rate of 8.79% and receives interest on $300,000 based on a fixed rate of 9.50%, which is included in Interest expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations.

During June 2015, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap with a counterparty to economically hedge exposures to foreign currency exchange risk related to its global operations. The cross-currency swap notional value is $125,000, at a foreign currency exchange rate of $1.00 to €0.9125, and matures in February 2017. In accordance with the cross-currency swap agreement, on a quarterly basis, the Company pays interest on €114,062 at a fixed rate of 8.94% and receives interest on $125,000 based on a fixed rate of 9.50%, which is included in Interest expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations.

During May 2016, the Company terminated all of its outstanding cross-currency swap agreements. On May 12, 2016, the Company settled $150,000 of its $300,000 of cross-currency swaps entered into in September 2014 and the entire $125,000 cross-currency swap entered into in June 2015, for total cash proceeds of $10,363 and a realized loss of $1,685 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and a realized loss of $13,574 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. On May 19, 2016, the Company settled the remaining $150,000 of its $300,000 of cross-currency swaps entered into in September 2014 for total cash proceeds of $18,340 and a realized gain of $1,214 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and a realized loss of $5,033 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company incurred settlements with each of its counterparties during 2016, which resulted in a net reduction in Interest expense, net of $2,530 and $2,635 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

The Company's derivative financial instruments did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and accordingly, changes in fair value were recorded in Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) within the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized a realized loss of $470 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and a realized loss of $18,607 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 that were recorded in Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.

From time to time, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the exchange rate risk associated with fluctuations of the U.S. dollar to various foreign currencies on internal cash movements associated with its global operations. The Company recognized an unrealized loss on foreign currency forward contracts of $127 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 that was recorded in Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.

(6) Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets for these items approximate fair market value due to their relative short-term nature.

The table below sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative instruments using present value measurements based on the spot rate, forward option spreads and other relevant market conditions.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s outstanding debt at June 30, 2016 were as follows:

	Carrying amount		Estimated fair value
Revolving Loan Facility	$	53,005	$	53,005
Term Loan due 2017	298,413		297,856
9.00% Senior Notes due 2017	56,000		55,300
9.50% Senior Notes due 2017	425,170		420,750

As the Revolving Loan Facility is a revolving credit agreement, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The estimated fair value of the Term Loan due 2017 is based on rates currently available for obligations with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 inputs). The estimated fair value of the 9.00% Senior Notes is based on a model that incorporates assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the liability (Level 3 inputs) and the estimated fair value of the 9.50% Senior Notes is based on current market rates in inactive markets (Level 2 inputs).

Income Taxes

(9) Income Taxes

The Company determines the interim tax provision by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date pretax book income (loss) and adjusts for discrete items during the reporting period, if any. Tax jurisdictions with losses for which tax benefits cannot be realized are excluded. Additionally, for certain tax jurisdictions where a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense or benefit cannot be made, the Company applied the actual effective tax rate to year-to-date income.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 0.6% and (80.5)%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was (11.3)% and 4.3%, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rates differ from the applicable statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions, mix of earnings (losses) by jurisdictions and the effects of foreign tax rate differences.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. As a result of a deferral of the effective date enacted in July 2015, the new standard would be effective for public entities on January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 allows the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2014-09 and has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest,to reduce complexity in accounting standards and make the presentation of debt issuance costs consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. This ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability, rather than as an asset. ASU 2015-03 is limited to simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs and there will be no effect on the income statement. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2016 and applied it retrospectively. The adoption of this standard resulted in the Company presenting its remaining unamortized debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, and there was no impact on the Company's operating results.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. This ASU requires prospective adoption and is effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which aims to make leasing activities more transparent and comparable and requires substantially all leases be recognized by lessees on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, including leases currently accounted for as operating leases. This ASU is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which affects entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. This ASU identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. ASU 2016-09 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Interim Income Tax Policy

The Company determines the interim tax provision by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date pretax book income (loss) and adjusts for discrete items during the reporting period, if any. Tax jurisdictions with losses for which tax benefits cannot be realized are excluded. Additionally, for certain tax jurisdictions where a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense or benefit cannot be made, the Company applied the actual effective tax rate to year-to-date income.
