ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On September 29, 2000, UNIFAB International, Inc. (the "Company")
completed a private placement in which it issued and sold 1,300,000 shares
(the "Shares") of its common stock, $.01 par value per share, to eight
accredited investors at $9.50 per Share, for aggregate proceeds of
$12,350,000. The offering and sale were made pursuant to the exemption
from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933
and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc.
("Morgan Keegan"), for its services as placement agent, received a
commission of $617,500 and a warrant to purchase 60,000 shares of Company
common stock (the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price of $9.50 per
share. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission by October 27, 2000 in order to register
the Shares and the Warrant Shares for resale by the purchasers and Morgan
Keegan, respectively.
The net proceeds to the Company, which will be applied to reduce the
Company's indebtedness under its Secured Senior Credit Facility, were
$11,732,500 after the commission to the placement agent but before offering
expenses. The Company expects in the near future to execute an amendment
to its credit facility which will establish a borrowing base and financial
covenants consistent with the Company's current financial condition and
anticipated outlook. The Company expects that this amendment will allow
the amounts outstanding under the credit facility to be classified as non-
current. The Company believes the net proceeds of the private placement
and the funding to become available under the amended credit facility will
provide the working capital it expects to need for future customer orders.
