SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.3
EXECUTION COPY
THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 4, 2009, is entered into by and among certain investment funds affiliated with Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Co., L.P. and listed on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Affiliated Funds”) and Boise Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Boise”).
WHEREAS, the Affiliated Funds hold certain Promissory Notes, issued by Boise in the current respective principal amounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Notes”) (it being understood that such principal amounts shall be increased as the Notes continue to accrue PIK Interest (as defined below) on a daily basis following the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the Notes) and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Boise, each of which subsidiaries has executed a subordinated guaranty in favor of the holder of the Notes (the “Guarantees,” and together with the Notes, the “Securities”);
WHEREAS, the Affiliated Funds desire to sell to Boise, and Boise desires to have the right to purchase from the Affiliated Funds, all or a portion of the Notes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;
WHEREAS, the parties desire to make representations, warranties and acknowledgements relating to the purchase and sale of Notes in accordance with the terms hereof;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations and warranties, and the covenants and agreements, contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties hereby acknowledge, the parties agree as follows:
| 1. | Purchase and Sale of Notes and the Closing(s). |
| (a) | Purchase and Sale of Notes. On each date of sale (each a “Closing” or “Closing Date”), and upon the terms and conditions in this Agreement, one or more of the Affiliated Funds (as designated by the Affiliated Funds or, in the absence of such designation by the Affiliated Funds, on a pro rata basis) shall, sell, transfer and assign to Boise, and Boise shall purchase from such Affiliated Funds, such Affiliated Funds’ entire right, title, and interest in and to the Notes designated, by |
| aggregate principal amount, by Boise to be purchased at such Closing in accordance with Section 2 (with respect to any Closing, the Note(s) or portion thereof so designated for purchase at such closing being referred to as the “Purchased Notes”), for an amount equal to the applicable Purchase Price (as defined in Section 1(b)). At each Closing Boise shall also be required to purchase all accrued and unpaid interest on the aggregate principal amount of such Purchased Notes from the date of this Agreement through and including the applicable Closing Date (the “PIK Interest”) for the same Purchase Price as applicable to such Purchased Notes. |
| (b) | Deliveries by Boise. At any Closing, as a condition to its receipt of the Purchased Notes, Boise shall deliver to the applicable Affiliated Funds designated pursuant to Section 1(a), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or bank accounts designated by such Affiliated Funds, cash in an aggregate amount equal to the purchase price for such Purchased Notes and the PIK Interest thereon determined as forth on Schedule 2 hereto (the “Purchase Price”). |
| (c) | Deliveries by the Affiliated Funds. At each Closing, the applicable Affiliated Funds shall surrender and deliver the Purchased Notes to Boise, which surrender and delivery shall occur substantially concurrently with the delivery of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1(b) (and shall not be deemed a transfer of the Note(s) until such delivery of Purchase Price has been received by such Affiliated Funds). |
| (d) | Issuance of New Notes. If at any Closing any Affiliated Fund surrenders and delivers to Boise Notes representing an aggregate principal amount greater than that of the Purchased Notes sold by such Affiliated Fund at such Closing, Boise shall, at its sole expense, execute and deliver to such Affiliated Fund a new Note or Notes, as the case may be, as requested by such Affiliated Fund, of like tenor with such Affiliated Fund as payee, and having an aggregate principal amount equal to the difference between the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so surrendered and delivered by such Affiliated Fund to Boise and the aggregate principal amount of the Purchased Notes sold by such Affiliated Fund at such Closing (such difference, the “Excess Principal Amount”)(any new Note so issued, a “New Note” and collectively, the “New Notes”). The New Note or New Notes delivered by Boise pursuant to this Section shall be dated so that there will be no loss of interest on the Excess Principal Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, each New Note shall constitute a Note for purposes of, and shall be subject to, this Agreement. |
| (e) | Cancellation of Purchased Notes. Immediately following the completion of the transfer of any Purchased Notes pursuant to Section 1(c), such Purchased Notes shall be automatically cancelled and no longer be deemed issued and outstanding. Boise shall promptly xxxx each Purchased Note as “cancelled” and deliver a true copy of such cancelled note to the Affiliated Fund(s) who transferred such Purchased Notes hereunder. |
2
| 2. | The Closing(s). Any Closing hereunder shall take place on such date and time not later than 181 days after the date of this Agreement as Boise may specify, provided that (i) Boise has given at least 24 hours written notice of such Closing to the Affiliated Funds (in accordance with Section 7(d)), which notice shall include the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased by Boise at such Closing and the Purchase Price with respect to such Purchased Notes and the PIK Interest thereon and (ii) so long as the aggregate principal amount of Notes then held by the Affiliated Funds is greater than $5 million, Boise may not give notice of a Closing unless the aggregate principal amount of the Purchased Notes to be purchased at such Closing is at least $5 million. Unless otherwise specified by Boise, each Closing shall be at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP in Boston, Massachusetts. For the avoidance of doubt, Boise shall have no obligation hereunder to purchase any Notes unless it gives the Affiliated Funds notice of a Closing in accordance with this Section 2, and, subject to the timing limitations set forth in this Section 2, Boise may determine, in it sole discretion, whether, when and on how many occasions to give any such notice. |
| 3. | Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgments of the Affiliated Funds. Each Affiliated Fund hereby represents and warrants to Boise, severally and not jointly, as of the date of this Agreement and each Closing Date as follows: |

Schedule 2
Purchase Price for Purchased Notes
For purposes of this Schedule 2, the term “Aggregate Principal Amount” shall mean the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest added to the principal amount of the Notes from the original issue date through and including August 4, 2009) outstanding on August 4, 2009, which equals $73,024,936.62.
The parties understand and agree that the principal amount of the Notes shall continue to accrue interest on a daily basis pursuant to the terms of the Notes. Boise shall be required to acquire all of the PIK Interest that accrued on any Purchased Notes acquired by Boise for the Purchase Price applicable to such Purchased Notes as set forth below.
At any Closing, with respect to Purchased Notes being purchased at such Closing, the Purchase Price for the Purchased Notes and the PIK Interest thereon from the date of the Agreement through and including such Closing Date, shall be calculated as follows:
| 1. | First, for as long as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes, after taking into account all prior Closings, is less than or equals 10% of the Aggregate Principal Amount, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Notes shall be equal to 87.50% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon; |
| 2. | Second, after the purchase of all Purchased Notes pursuant to Section 1 above, after taking into account all prior Closings, for as long as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes is greater than 10%, but less than or equal 20%, of the Aggregate Principal Amount, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Notes shall be equal to 83.75% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon; |
| 3. | Third, after the purchase of all Purchased Notes pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 above, after taking into account all prior Closings, for as long as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes is greater than 20%, but less than or equal to 30%, of the Aggregate Principal Amount, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Notes shall be equal to 80.00% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon; |
| 4. | Fourth, after the purchase of all Purchased Notes pursuant to Sections 1, 2 and 3 above, after taking into account all prior Closings, for as long as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes is greater than 30%, but less than or equal to 40%, of the Aggregate Principal Amount, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Notes shall be equal to 76.25% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon; |
| 5. | Fifth, after the purchase of all Purchased Notes pursuant to Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, after taking into account all prior Closings, for as long as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes is greater than 40%, but less than or equal to 50%, of the Aggregate Principal Amount, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Notes shall be equal to 72.50% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon; |
| 6. | Sixth, after the purchase of all Purchased Notes pursuant to Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 above, after taking into account all prior Closings, for as long as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes is greater than 50%, but less than or equal to 60%, of the Aggregate Principal Amount, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Notes shall be equal to 67.50% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon; |
| 7. | Seventh, after the purchase of all Purchased Notes pursuant to Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 above, after taking into account all prior Closings, for as long as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes is greater than 60%, but less than or equal to 70%, of the Aggregate Principal Amount, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Notes shall be equal to 63.75% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon; |
| 8. | Eighth, after the purchase of all Purchased Notes pursuant to Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 above, after taking into account all prior Closings, for as long as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes is greater than 70%, but less than or equal to 80%, of the Aggregate Principal Amount, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Notes shall be equal to 60.00% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon; |
| 9. | Ninth, after the purchase of all Purchased Notes pursuant to Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 above, after taking into account all prior Closings, for as long as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes is greater than 80%, but less than or equal to 90%, of the Aggregate Principal Amount, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Notes shall be equal to 56.25% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon; and |
| 10. | Last, after the purchase of all Purchased Notes pursuant to Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 above, after taking into account all prior Closings, the Purchase Price for the purchase of any additional Purchased Notes shall be equal to 52.50% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of such Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon. |
For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties that the average Purchase Price shall equal 70% of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Purchased Notes and (ii) all PIK Interest thereon, assuming all the Notes are acquired by Boise hereunder.
