FORM 8-K
Item 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On October 27, 2000, Aftermarket Technology Corp. (the "Company")
consummated the sale of all the outstanding capital stock of its wholly owned
subsidiary, ATC Distribution Group, Inc. (the "Distribution Group"), to ATCDG
Acquisition Corp., Inc. ("Buyer"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Aceomatic-Recon Holdings Corporation, which is an affiliate of The Riverside
Company. The purchase price for the stock of the Distribution Group, which was
negotiated on an arm's length basis between the Company and Buyer, was comprised
of $60.1 million in cash, Series B preferred stock of Buyer with a stated value
of $8.65 million and an 18% senior subordinated promissory note of Buyer in the
principal amount of $10.05 million. The cash portion of the purchase price is
subject to increase or decrease if it is determined that the Distribution
Group's net working capital as of closing was above or below a specified target
amount. Following the sale, Buyer was merged with and into the Distribution
Group, as a result of which the Series B preferred stock and senior subordinated
note were converted into Series B preferred stock and a senior subordinated note
of the Distribution Group. The senior subordinated note is secured by a lien on
substantially all the assets of the Distribution Group, which lien is
subordinated to the lien in favor of the banks that provided financing to Buyer
in connection with the transaction.
For financial statement purposes the Company has valued the Series B
preferred stock and the senior subordinated note at $1.9 million and $8.4
million, respectively.
The Company used $40.1 million of the cash proceeds from the sale to
repay $40.0 million of principal and $0.1 million of accrued interest under the
term loan portion of the Company's senior credit facility. The $20.0 million
balance of the cash proceeds was used to pay fees and expenses associated with
the transaction and to pay down the balance under the revolving loan portion of
the Company's senior credit facility until such amount is reinvested in the
Company's businesses.
The Distribution Group (together with its Canadian subsidiary,
King-O-Matic Industries Limited, and its Mexican subsidiary, Partes
Remanufacturadas de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.) distributes remanufactured
transmissions and related drive train components to independent aftermarket
customers for use in the repair of automobiles and light trucks primarily
following expiration of the new vehicle warranty.
The sale of the Distribution Group does not affect the Company's OEM
business segment, which remanufactures transmissions for original equipment
manufacturers.
