On July 1, 2013, Brown & Brown acquired Beecher Carlson Holdings, Inc. (“Beecher”), an insurance and risk management broker with operations that include retail brokerage, program management and captive management, pursuant to a merger agreement, dated May 21, 2013, among the Company, Brown & Brown Merger Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Beecher, and BC Sellers’ Representative LLC, solely in its capacity as the representative of Beecher’s shareholders. The aggregate purchase price for Beecher was $454,475,000, including $364,644,000 of cash payments and the assumption of $89,831,000 of liabilities. Beecher was acquired primarily to expand Brown & Brown’s Retail and National Programs businesses, and to attract and hire high-quality individuals.

The Beecher acquisition will be accounted for as business combination as follows:

On July 1, 2013, in conjunction with the Beecher acquisition, the Company entered into: (1) a revolving loan agreement (the “Wells Fargo Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) that provides for a $50.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Wells Fargo Revolver”) and (2) a term loan agreement (the “Bank of America Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) that provides for a $30.0 million term loan (the “Bank of America Term Loan”). The Wells Fargo Revolver was drawn down in the amount of $30.0 million and the Bank of America Term Loan was funded in the amount of $30.0 million, each on July 1, 2013, and these facilities provided the financing for the acquisition.

The maturity date for the Wells Fargo Revolver is December 31, 2016, at which time all outstanding principal and unpaid interest will be due. The Wells Fargo Revolver may be increased by up to $50.0 million (bringing the total available to $100.0 million). The calculation of interest and fees for the Wells Fargo Agreement is generally based on the Company’s funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio. Interest is charged at a rate equal to 1.00% to 1.40% above LIBOR or 1.00% below the Base Rate, each as more fully described in the Wells Fargo Agreement. Fees include an up-front fee, an availability fee of 0.175% to 0.25%, and a letter of credit margin fee of 1.00% to 1.40%. The obligations under the Wells Fargo Revolver are unsecured and the Wells Fargo Agreement includes various covenants, limitations and events of default that are customary for similar facilities for similar borrowers.

The maturity date for the Bank of America Term Loan is December 31, 2016, at which time all outstanding principal and unpaid interest will be due. The calculation of interest for the Bank of America Agreement is generally based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. Interest is charged at a rate equal to the Alternative Base Rate or 1.00% to 1.40% above the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, each as more fully described in the Bank of America Agreement. Fees include an up-front fee. Initially, until the Lender receives the Company’s September 30, 2013 quarter end financial statements, the applicable margin for Adjusted LIBOR Rate advances is 1.50%. The obligations under the Bank of America Term Loan are unsecured and the Bank of America Agreement includes various covenants, limitations and events of default that are customary for similar facilities for similar borrowers.
