Asset Acquisition Acquisition
On August 1, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Tyman plc (“Tyman”), a company incorporated in England and Wales (“Tyman Acquisition”). The aggregate consideration due pursuant to the Tyman Acquisition at closing comprised 14,139,477 newly issued Quanex common shares (“New Quanex Shares”) and cash consideration of approximately $504.1 million (being the Pound Sterling amount of cash consideration of £392.2 million in respect of all of the Tyman Shares converted to U.S. Dollars at an exchange rate of 1.2855). New Quanex Shares issued in connection with the Tyman Acquisition on the New York Stock Exchange took effect on August 2, 2024 and Tyman’s shares on the London Stock Exchange were canceled.
On June 12, 2024, in connection with the Tyman Acquisition, the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”, acting as agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, the “Agent”), the other entities therein specified in the capacities therein specified, and the lenders parties thereto, entered into an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2022 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and the Existing Credit Agreement as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement did not become effective until August 1, 2024 upon the completion of the Tyman Acquisition.
The Amended Credit Agreement (i) increased the senior secured revolving credit facility to an aggregate principal amount of $475 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) provided for a senior secured term loan A facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “Term Loan A Facility” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Facilities”). The Revolving Credit Facility includes alternative currency, letter of credit, and swing-line sub-facilities of $100 million, $30 million, and $15 million, respectively. The maturity date of the Facilities is five years after the acquisition effective date, maturing on August 1, 2029.
As of April 30, 2025, we are still determining the purchase price allocation for the Tyman Acquisition. A preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is included in the table below. These estimates are subject to change and will likely result in an increase or decrease in goodwill, particularly with regard to third-party valuations and our estimates of fixed assets, intangible assets, inventory, and deferred income taxes, during the measurement period, which may extend up to one year from the acquisition date.

We used recognized valuation techniques to determine the preliminary fair value of the assets and liabilities, including the multi period excess earnings method for customer relationships and relief from royalty method for trade names and other technology with a discount rate that reflects the risk of the expected future cash flows. Tyman is allocated entirely to our Tyman reportable operating segment. For additional discussion of our reportable business segments, see Note 14, “Segment Information.”

We derived the pro forma results for the Tyman acquisition based on historical financial information obtained from the sellers and certain management assumptions. Our Tyman pro forma adjustments relate to the impact of preliminary fair value adjustments on the underlying assets and liabilities of Tyman, transaction costs and the financing of the Tyman Acquisition, and the conversion of Tyman’s financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS to Quanex accounting policies in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
