Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

New Credit Agreement

On May 10, 2018, McDermott International, Inc. (“McDermott”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with McDermott Technology (Americas), Inc., McDermott Technology (US), Inc. and McDermott Technology, B.V. (“McDermott Bidco”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott, as co-borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), McDermott, as a guarantor, a syndicate of lenders and letter of credit issuers, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent for the term facility under the Credit Agreement, and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as administrative agent for the other facilities under the Credit Agreement.

Proceeds of loans under the Credit Agreement were used, together with proceeds from the $1.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of 10.625% Senior Notes due May 2024 issued by McDermott Technology (Americas), Inc. and McDermott Technology (US), Inc. (the “Senior Notes”) and cash on hand, (1) to consummate the Exchange Offer (as defined below) and a series of transactions (the “Core Transactions”, and together with the Exchange Offer, the “Combination”) contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Business Combination Agreement dated as of December 18, 2017 to which McDermott, Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (“CB&I”) and certain of their respective subsidiaries are parties (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), including the repayment of certain existing indebtedness of CB&I and its subsidiaries, (2) to redeem McDermott’s $500 million aggregate principal amount of 8.000% second-lien notes due in April 2021 (the “8.000% Notes”), (3) to prepay existing indebtedness under, and to terminate in full, McDermott’s previously existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2017 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), and (4) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Combination, the Credit Agreement and the issuance of the Senior Notes. Additional borrowings are available under the Credit Agreement for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Certain existing letters of credit outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement and certain existing letters of credit outstanding under CB&I’s previously existing credit facilities have been deemed issued under the Credit Agreement, and letters of credit were issued under the Credit Agreement to backstop certain other existing letters of credit issued for the account of McDermott, CB&I and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.

The Credit Agreement provides for borrowings and letters of credit in the aggregate principal amount of $4.65 billion, consisting of the following: (1) a $2.26 billion senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), the full amount of which was borrowed, and $319.3 million of which has been deposited into a cash collateral account (the “LC Account”) to secure reimbursement obligations in respect of up to $310.0 million of letters of credit (the “Term Facility Letters of Credit”); (2) a $1.0 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”); and (3) a $1.39 billion senior secured letter of credit facility (the “LC Facility”). The Credit Agreement provides that:

 

    Term Facility Letters of Credit can be issued in an amount up to the amount on deposit in the LC Account, less an amount equal to approximately 3% of such amount on deposit (to be held as a reserve for related letter of credit fees);

 

    subject to compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement, the full amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for revolving loans;

 

    subject to McDermott’s utilization in full of its capacity to issue Term Facility Letters of Credit, the full amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of performance letters of credit and up to $200 million of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of financial letters of credit; and

 

    the full amount of the LC Facility is available for the issuance of performance letters of credit.

As of May 10, 2018, there were issued (or deemed issued) under the Credit Agreement approximately $309 million of Term Facility Letters of Credit, approximately $60 million of letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, and approximately $1.30 billion of letters of credit under the LC Facility. As of May 10, 2018, no revolving credit borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility and the LC Facility are scheduled to mature on May 10, 2023. The Term Facility is scheduled to mature on May 10, 2025, unless on the date that is six months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Senior Notes, more than $350 million of the Senior Notes are outstanding and McDermott’s secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00, in which case the Term Facility will mature on that date.

 

2


The Credit Agreement includes procedures for additional financial institutions to become lenders, or for any existing lender to increase its commitment thereunder, subject to aggregate maximums for each of the Term Facility, the Revolving Credit Facility and the LC Facility set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The indebtedness and other obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by McDermott and substantially all of McDermott’s wholly owned subsidiaries, including wholly owned subsidiaries resulting from the consummation of the Combination (collectively, the “Guarantors”), other than several captive insurance subsidiaries and certain other designated or immaterial subsidiaries. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Borrowers’, McDermott’s and the other Guarantors’ assets.

The Credit Agreement includes mandatory commitment reductions and prepayments in connection with certain asset sales and casualty events (subject to reinvestment rights with respect to asset sales of less than $500 million), issuances of Term Facility Letters of Credit in excess of the balance in the LC Account (less the reserve amount described above), withdrawal of funds from the LC Account, and incurrences of debt not permitted by the Credit Agreement. In addition, McDermott will be required to make an annual prepayment of term loans under the Term Facility and thereafter cash collateralize letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and the LC Facility with 75% of excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), reducing to 50% of excess cash flow and 25% of excess cash flow depending on McDermott’s secured leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement requires the Borrowers to prepay a portion of the term loans made under the Term Facility on the last day of each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to $5.65 million. The Credit Agreement otherwise only requires periodic interest payments until maturity. The Borrowers may prepay any or all of the term loans made under the Term Facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs and subject to certain notice requirements), except that any such prepayment occurring as a result of a repricing event before May 10, 2019 will be subject to a prepayment premium equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of term loans being prepaid. The Borrowers may prepay all revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to certain notice requirements.

Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at the Borrowers’ option at either (1) the Eurodollar rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 3.75% to 4.25% per year or (2) the base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, the 30-day Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.25% per year. The applicable margin will vary depending on McDermott’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Term loans under the Term Facility will bear interest at the Borrowers’ option at either (1) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 5.00% per year or (2) the base rate plus a margin of 4.00%, subject to a 1.0% floor with respect to the Eurodollar rate. The Borrowers are charged a commitment fee of 0.50% per year on the daily amount of the unused portions of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the LC Facility. Additionally, with respect to all letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers are charged a fronting fee of 0.25% per year and, with respect to all letters of credit outstanding under the LC Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrowers are charged a participation fee of (1) between 3.75% to 4.25% per year in respect of financial letters of credit and (2) between 1.875% to 2.125% per year in respect of performance letters of credit, in each case depending on McDermott’s leverage ratio. The Borrowers are also required to pay customary issuance fees and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. McDermott paid upfront fees, ticking fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees and other fees to certain lenders, arrangers and agents of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants that will be tested on a quarterly basis commencing September 30, 2018:

 

    the minimum permitted fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is 1.50 to 1.00;

 

    the maximum permitted leverage ratio is (1) 4.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2019, (2) 4.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019, (3) 3.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2019 and on or before December 31, 2020, (4) 3.50 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2020 and on or before December 31, 2021 and (5) 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2021; and

 

3


    the minimum liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement, but generally meaning the sum of McDermott’s cash and cash equivalents plus unused commitments under the Credit Agreement available for revolving borrowings) is $200 million.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit McDermott’s and each of its restricted subsidiary’s ability to:

 

    incur or assume indebtedness;

 

    grant or assume liens;

 

    make acquisitions or engage in mergers;

 

    sell, transfer, assign or convey assets;

 

    make investments;

 

    repurchase equity and make dividends and certain other restricted payments;

 

    change the nature of its business;

 

    engage in transactions with affiliates;

 

    enter into burdensome agreements;

 

    modify its organizational documents;

 

    enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

 

    make capital expenditures;

 

    enter into speculative hedging contracts; and

 

    make prepayments on certain junior debt.

The Credit Agreement contains events of default that McDermott believes are customary for a secured credit facility. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs, all obligations under the Credit Agreement will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies. In addition, if any event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders may commence foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

If any default exists under the Credit Agreement, or if the Borrowers are unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement at the applicable time, the Borrowers will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Escrow Release and Subsidiary Mergers

On May 10, 2018, the proceeds from the Senior Notes offering, which had been held in escrow pending satisfaction of certain escrow conditions, were released and McDermott Escrow 1, Inc. and McDermott Escrow 2, Inc. (together, the “Escrow Issuers”) merged (the “Mergers”) with and into McDermott Technology (Americas), Inc. and McDermott Technology (US), Inc. (together, the “Post-Merger Co-Issuers”). The proceeds released from escrow were used to pay a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of the technology operations of CB&I in connection with the Combination.

 

4


Each Post-Merger Co-Issuer assumed, by operation of law, the obligations of the applicable Escrow Issuer under the Senior Notes and the indenture governing the Senior Notes. In connection with the consummation of the Combination, McDermott, the Post-Merger Co-Issuers, McDermott Technology, B.V. and each of the other Guarantors entered into supplemental indentures whereby the Senior Notes became jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by McDermott, McDermott Technology, B.V. and the other Guarantors.

The foregoing description of the supplemental indentures is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the supplemental indentures, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 4.3 and Exhibit 4.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Joinders to the Purchase Agreement

On May 10, 2018, McDermott Technology, B.V. and certain other Guarantors and Barclays Capital Inc. entered into joinders to the Purchase Agreement dated April 4, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which McDermott Technology, B.V. and certain other Guarantors became parties to the Purchase Agreement. The foregoing description of the joinders to the Purchase Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the joinders to the Purchase Agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 10, 2018, the Prior Credit Agreement was terminated in full and the 8.000% Notes were redeemed in full and the related indenture was discharged.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 10, 2018, McDermott and CB&I completed the Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

At 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on May 10, 2018, the offer by McDermott Bidco to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all issued and outstanding CB&I common shares, par value EUR 0.01 per share (“CB&I Common Stock”) for shares of McDermott common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“McDermott Common Stock”), expired as scheduled and was not extended. McDermott Bidco was advised by the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer that, as of the expiration of the Exchange Offer, a total of approximately 66.7 million shares of CB&I Common Stock were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Exchange Offer, representing approximately 65% of the shares of CB&I Common Stock then outstanding. All conditions to the Exchange Offer having been satisfied, McDermott Bidco accepted for exchange all of such tendered shares of CB&I Common Stock.

Following the acceptance of shares of CB&I Common Stock tendered in the Exchange Offer, on May 10, 2018, McDermott and McDermott Bidco consummated the Core Transactions of the Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

As a result of the Core Transactions, shareholders of CB&I who did not validly tender in (or who properly withdrew their shares of CB&I Common Stock from) the Exchange Offer became shareholders of Comet I B.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CB&I (“CB&I Newco”), and are entitled to receive, in connection with the liquidation of CB&I Newco, in respect of each former share of CB&I Common Stock, 0.82407 shares of McDermott Common Stock, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares. The consideration per share of CB&I Common Stock received pursuant to the liquidation of CB&I Newco is the same as the consideration received pursuant to the Exchange Offer, except that the receipt of shares of McDermott Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to the liquidation of CB&I Newco generally is subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax. Based on final computations made as of May 10, 2018, taking into account the number of shares of CB&I Common Stock not tendered in the exchange offer, the average paid-up capital of CB&I recognized for Dutch dividend withholding tax purposes with respect to such shares (approximately $319 million) and other applicable amounts, the aggregate amount of applicable Dutch dividend withholding tax was estimated to be approximately $40.6 million. The liquidator of Comet I B.V. will satisfy the payment obligations with respect to such tax by directing the exchange agent to sell shares of McDermott Common Stock that were previously deposited with the exchange agent and by directing the exchange agent to remit all or a portion of the proceeds of such sale to the Dutch tax authorities, all as contemplated by McDermott’s previously filed Registration Statement on Form S-4.

In connection with the Combination, McDermott issued approximately 84.5 million shares of its common stock, with an estimated aggregate implied value of approximately $1.7 billion based on the closing price of McDermott Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 9, 2018, without accounting for withholding tax, which represents approximately 47% of its outstanding common stock after giving effect to such issuance. In addition, McDermott reserved for issuance approximately 13.7 million additional shares of McDermott Common Stock in connection with the exercise or conversion of CB&I’s outstanding equity awards, which became exercisable for or convertible into McDermott Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Combination is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement and Amendment No. 1 thereto, copies of which are included as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

On May 10, 2018, McDermott issued a press release announcing the expiration of the Exchange Offer and completion of the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of that press release is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

On May 10, 2018, McDermott issued a press release announcing the closing of the Combination. A copy of that press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As previously reported, McDermott filed on May 2, 2018 an amendment (the “Amendment”) to McDermott’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Articles”) to effect a 3-to-1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the McDermott Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective in accordance with the terms of the Amendment at 11:59 P.M. (New York City time) on May 9, 2018 (the “Reverse Stock Split Effective Time”).

At the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, every three shares of McDermott Common Stock were automatically combined into a smaller number of shares, such that a McDermott stockholder will own one share of McDermott Common Stock for each three shares of McDermott Common Stock held by that stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a holder of record of shares of McDermott Common Stock would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share. Instead, any fractional share interest resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Additionally, at the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, the authorized shares of McDermott Common Stock was reduced to 255,000,000 shares.

A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.
