ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On May 28, 1996, BWAY Corporation, a Delaware Corporation ("BWAY"), merged one
of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Milton Acquisition Corp. (the "Purchaser"),
with Milton Can Company, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated March 21, 1996, as amended
on April 30, 1996 (the "Agreement"). The following discussion is only a summary
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exhibits to this Current
Report on Form 8-K.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company merged with and into the Purchaser, with
Purchaser being the surviving corporation. BWAY intends to continue the
Company's business activities and operations, manufacturing of steel containers,
and to continue the use of assets in substantially the same fashion as prior to
the merger. The Company's stockholders received $13.4 million in cash, $1
million in notes and $14.6 million in BWAY stock. BWAY issued 656,174 shares of
its treasury stock and 154,796 newly issued shares. The amount of each portion
of consideration was determined as a result of negotiations between BWAY and the
Company. Pursuant to the merger, BWAY assumed the Company's liabilities,
including approximately $12.3 million in term and revolving debt held by Bay
Bank, which was paid off at closing. The Company's asset valuation prior to
closing reflected property, plant and equipment book value of approximately $10
million, inventory of approximately $7 million, and liabilities of approximately
$10 million. The transaction will be recorded using the purchase method of
accounting. James W. Milton, the controlling shareholder of the Company, became
an officer and director of BWAY effective as of the closing.
The total cash used by BWAY to consummate the transaction and pay the related
fees and expenses, including the settlement of debt, was approximately $26.7
million. BWAY financed the transaction using approximately $5 million from its
current revolving loan pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Revolving
Credit Loan Agreement by and among BWAY, Brockway Standard, Inc., certain
financial institutions and Bankers Trust Company, as agent, and the remainder
was financed using existing funds.
