Acquisition

On May 15, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the ongoing operations of The Scruggs Company, a privately-owned infrastructure and road construction company headquartered in Hahira, Georgia, which operates three hot mix asphalt plants, three aggregate mines and one industrial plant. The acquisition complements the Company’s vertically integrated Southeastern U.S. operations, providing new bidding areas in the expanding Georgia market. The purchase price of $51.1 million, excluding certain working capital adjustments, was paid in cash on the date of closing. The Company funded the purchase price with cash on hand plus an additional $22.0 million borrowed under its $50.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) under the credit agreement with Compass Bank, as Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner (as amended, the “Compass Credit Agreement”). The additional borrowing is subject to the same terms and conditions as the Term Loan balance outstanding at March 31, 2018. In connection with this additional Term Loan borrowing, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $11.0 million under which it pays a fixed percentage rate of 3.01% and receives a credit based on the applicable LIBOR rate.

The Company is in the process of completing the initial accounting of this acquisition as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, including the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. There are no revenues or results of operations of The Scruggs Company included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three or six months ended March 31, 2018. Pro forma adjustments and results of operations cannot yet be determined. The acquisition did not meet the significance criteria under SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-05.

Reclassification and Initial Public Offering

On April 23, 2018, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to effectuate a dual class common stock structure consisting of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, as a result of which each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was reclassified and changed into 25.2 shares of Class B common stock so that all equity holders became the holders of 41,817,537 shares of Class B common stock (the “Reclassification”). The amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes 400,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Stock Split.

On May 8, 2018, the Company completed an initial public offering of 11,250,000 shares of Class A common stock for $12.00 per share. Of these shares, 9,000,000 were sold by the Company, for which the Company received approximately $100.4 million in proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $7.6 million, and prior to additional total estimated offering expenses of approximately $5.8 million. Of the $5.8 million additional estimated offering expenses, $4.0 million and $2.2 million are reflected as capitalized equity issuance costs included within other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The remaining 2,250,000 shares were sold by the holders of Class B common stock, which shares upon sale automatically converted into 2,250,000 shares of Class A common stock, which reduced the issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock to 39,567,537. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares sold by the holders of Class B common stock.

On May 24, 2018 the underwriters of the initial public offering partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 700,000 shares of our Class A common stock at the initial public offering price of $12.00 per share less the underwriting discount and commissions. Of these shares, 350,000 were sold by the Company for which the Company received approximately $3.9 million in proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $0.3 million. The remaining 350,000 shares were sold by the holders of Class B common stock, which shares upon sale automatically converted into 350,000 shares of Class A common stock, which reduced the issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock to 39,217,537. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares sold by the holders of Class B common stock.

Settlement Agreements

On April 19, 2018, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into settlement agreements with a third party, pursuant to which they will receive aggregate net payments of approximately $15.7 million, payable in four equal installments between January 2019 and July 2020, in exchange for releasing and waiving all current and future claims against the third party relating to compensation to the Company for a business interruption event that occurred more than five years ago, which did not directly relate to the Company’s business and which has not, and is not expected to, recur (the “Settlement”). The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $14.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 related to the Settlement, which is reflected as settlement income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Future payments are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as other current assets and other assets in the amount of $3.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively.
