Item 7. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 7 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
On July 10, 2007, Alcoa and Alcoa Holdco Canada ULC, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Alcoa (Alcoa Canada and, together with Alcoa, the Borrowers), entered into a Term Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement), dated as of July 10, 2007 (the Closing Date), with a syndicate of bank lenders (the Lenders), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as joint lead arrangers and joint book-running managers, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as syndication agent, and Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent (the Administrative Agent), providing for a $30 billion senior unsecured multiple-draw term credit facility (the Credit Facility). The Borrowers intend to use the Credit Facility to (a) finance the cash portion of the Offer, as more fully described in the Borrowers Registration Statement on Form S-4 (file no. 333-142669), dated as of May 7, 2007, as amended (the Registration Statement), (b) finance any subsequent acquisition of Alcan shares not acquired in the Offer (the Acquisition), as more fully described in the Registration Statement, (c) refinance certain outstanding debt obligations of Alcoa, Alcan and their respective subsidiaries, and (d) pay any transaction costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Borrowers in connection with the Offer and any Acquisition.
The maturity date for the Credit Facility is January 10, 2009 (the Maturity Date). The initial borrowing under the Credit Facility is subject to the condition precedent, among others, that the Offer shall have been consummated or will be consummated simultaneously with or immediately following such borrowing. Thereafter borrowings under the Credit Facility may be made at any time to but excluding the Maturity Date or, if earlier,
2
the date that is 60 days after the Acquisition (the Commitment Termination Date). All borrowings will be subject to the Borrowers compliance with the terms and conditions precedent for such borrowing as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Loans under the Credit Facility will, at the Borrowers option, bear interest on the principal amount outstanding at either (a) a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (b) a base rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin rate will be based on the credit ratings of Alcoas outstanding senior unsecured long-term debt. The applicable margin on LIBOR loans ranges from 0.40% to 1.25% per annum and on base rate loans ranges from 0.00% to 0.25% per annum, depending on such ratings. Based on Alcoas current long-term debt ratings, the applicable margin on LIBOR loans will be 0.40% per annum and on base rate loans will be 0.00% per annum. In addition, Alcoa is required to pay an unused commitment fee on the actual daily amount of the unutilized portion of the commitments of the Lenders from the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date through the Commitment Termination Date at a rate ranging from 0.07% to 0.150% per annum, based on the credit ratings of Alcoas outstanding senior unsecured long-term debt. Based on Alcoas current long-term debt ratings, the unused commitment fee will be 0.07% per annum.
The Credit Facility is unsecured and amounts payable under it will rank pari passu with all other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Borrowers. Alcoa has provided an unconditional guarantee of all obligations of Alcoa Canada and any other subsidiary borrower under the Credit Facility.
Loans under the Credit Facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs. Mandatory prepayments of the Credit Facility will be required from 100% of the net cash proceeds arising from certain asset sales, equity issuances or debt issuances by Alcoa or any of its subsidiaries as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes certain covenants, including, among others, (a) leverage ratios, (b) limitations on each Borrowers ability to incur liens securing indebtedness for borrowed money, (c) limitations on each Borrowers ability to consummate a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets and (d) limitations on each Borrowers ability to change the nature of its business.
The obligation of the Borrowers to pay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement. Such Events of Default include, among others, (a) the Borrowers failure to pay the principal of, or interest on, borrowings under the Credit Facility, (b) any representation or warranty of either Borrower in the Credit Agreement proving to be materially false or misleading, (c) either Borrowers breach of any of its covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, and (d) the bankruptcy or insolvency of either Borrower.
The foregoing description of the Credit Facility is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit (b)(ii) and which is incorporated herein by reference.
In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the Lenders under the Credit Facility, or their affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform, commercial banking, investment banking, trust, advisory or other financial services for Alcoa and its affiliates for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses. As described in the Registration Statement, the Borrowers have engaged the services of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. in the U.S. and BMO Capital Markets in Canada to act as the dealer managers in connection with the Offer. In addition, certain officers and/or directors of Alcoa (Alain J. P. Belda, Franklin A. Thomas and Klaus Kleinfeld) serve as directors of Citigroup Inc., an affiliate of the Administrative Agent, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the joint lead arranger and joint book-running manager.
Alcoa has neither sought nor made alternative financing arrangements should the Credit Facility not be available to Alcoa.
