Item 2.03 – Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On August 7, 2012, Bourland & Leverich Supply Co. LLC (“B&L”), a consolidated subsidiary of Edgen Group Inc. (“Edgen Group”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “First Amendment”) to B&L’s amended and restated revolving credit agreement with Regions Bank, RBS Business Capital and Regions Business Capital (the “BL revolving credit facility”). The First Amendment (i) increases the total revolving commitment under the BL revolving credit facility to $125.0 million and may be increased further by B&L by an additional $50.0 million, (ii) reduces the interest rate charged on B&L’s borrowings under the BL revolving credit facility by 1.25% and reduces the unused line commitment fee payable by 0.125% and 0.25%, depending on the quarterly average undrawn availability under the BL revolving credit facility and (iii) provides for certain other administrative, conforming and definitional changes.
There is no material relationship among Edgen Group, B&L, or any of their affiliates and any of the parties to the First Amendment or the BL revolving credit facility, other than in respect of the First Amendment and the BL revolving credit facility. Certain of such parties or their affiliates have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending or commercial banking or trustee services for Edgen Group, B&L and their affiliates, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and reimbursement of expenses.
The foregoing summary of the First Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the First Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1.
