INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
ITEM 2 - ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On April 17, 2000, Nashua Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), completed its previously announced acquisition of all outstanding
shares of stock of Rittenhouse Paper Company, an Illinois corporation
("Rittenhouse"), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement"), dated March 21, 2000, by and among the Company, Rittenhouse and the
stockholders of Rittenhouse. The consideration paid by the Company to the
stockholders of Rittenhouse totaled approximately $57 million in cash plus a
contingent payment of up to $6 million if certain financial targets are achieved
for the year 2000. The Company did not assume any third party interest paying
debt.
The Company funded $35 million of the purchase price from borrowings under
a secured loan of $55 million from Fleet Bank-NH and LaSalle Bank, consisting of
a $20 million term loan and a $35 million revolving loan. The Company funded the
remainder of the purchase price from its cash reserves.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into an employment
agreement with Andrew Albert, the president and chief executive officer of
Rittenhouse, who was appointed the President and Chief Operating Officer of the
Company. Mr. Albert's employment agreement is for a five-year term through April
2005. Mr. Albert is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $350,000,
subject to annual increases and bonuses as the board of directors of the Company
may determine. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
Mr. Albert will be appointed to the Company's board of directors.
The terms of the Purchase Agreement, including the amount of consideration
paid by the Company, were the result of arm's length negotiations among the
Company, Rittenhouse and the former stockholders of Rittenhouse. Other than as
set forth above, there were no material relationships between the Company, or
any of its affiliates, directors or officers or their associates and the former
stockholders of Rittenhouse.
