HOUSTON, March 3, 2017
HOUSTON, March 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CARBO Ceramics Inc. (NYSE: CRR) announced today that it has refinanced its existing bank debt with a debt placement with the Wilks Brothers, LLC. The new debt placement includes an initial funding of $52.7 million plus an additional $12.3 million to be released after certain conditions have been satisfied. The loan bears interest at 9% and gives CARBO the option to make payment-in-kind, or PIK, at 11% interest during the first two years of the loan. The loan is secured by all accounts receivable, inventory, cash in certain accounts, domestic distribution assets residing on owned property, plant facilities and equipment in Marshfield, Wisconsin and Toomsboro, Georgia, and certain real property interests in mines and minerals. The loan does not contain any financial maintenance covenants and cannot be repaid during the first three years without making the lender whole for interest over the entire remaining term of the loan. As part of the transaction, CARBO issued a warrant exchangeable for 523,022 shares of CARBO common stock upon payment of an exercise price of $14.91 per share. Of the total loan amount of $65.0 million, $52.7 million has been applied to pay off CARBO's bank debt, and the excess is expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Morgan D. Neff and Matt Wilks from Wilks Brothers, LLC commented, "We are delighted with the collaborative effort that took place to close this transaction as it will provide CARBO the platform and flexibility to maximize long-term value for stakeholders."
