Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 15, 2016, our newly formed subsidiary, BTI Tools, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement (the Asset Purchase Agreement) with Taylor Brands, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (Taylor), and the members of Taylor set forth therein (collectively, the Members), pursuant to which we will
acquire (the Transaction) substantially all of the assets of Taylor.
Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement,
we will acquire substantially all of the assets of Taylor for an aggregate of $85 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Transaction, which is expected to close in August, is subject to
customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains other provisions, covenants, representations, and
warranties made by us, Taylor, and the Members that are typical in transactions of this size, type, and complexity.
A copy of the Asset
Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.10 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Asset Purchase Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about us, Taylor, or
the Members. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided in connection with the signing of the
Asset Purchase Agreement. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies, and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Moreover, certain representations
and warranties in the Asset Purchase Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between us, Taylor, and the Members rather than for establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, readers should not rely on the representations and warranties
in the Asset Purchase Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about us, Taylor, or the Members.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 18, 2016, we issued a press release announcing the Transaction. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
