Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 7, 2021, LCI Industries (the “Company”) entered into amendments to its existing Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2018, as amended (the “Amended Credit Facility”), with JPMorgan Chase, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and certain other bank lenders and its existing Fifth Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated as of November 11, 2019, as amended (the “Shelf-Loan Facility”) with PGIM, Inc. (formerly Prudential Investment Management, Inc.) and certain of its affiliates. The amendments specifically permit the convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions described below and make certain other technical changes, including changes related to the offering of the Notes (as defined below).

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amendments to the Amended Credit Facility and the Shelf-Loan Facility, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03

The information set forth above under Item 1.01 is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

 

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 10, 2021, the Company intends to commence a distribution of a confidential preliminary offering memorandum (the “Offering Memorandum”) to potential investors relating to a proposed private offering by the Company (the “Offering”), subject to market and other conditions, of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Company intends to grant the initial purchasers in the Offering a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes. In connection with the Offering, the Company expects to enter into privately negotiated convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with one or more financial institutions, which may include one or more of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates.

If the Offering is consummated, the Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the cost of entering into the convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the warrant transactions). The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Offering to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, then the Company intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the additional warrant transactions).

The Notes will be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offer and sale of the Notes and the shares of common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and the Notes and such shares may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filings under the Exchange Act or under the Securities Act, except to the extent specifically provided in any such filing. The furnishing of information pursuant to this Item 7.01 will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Current Report on Form 8-K that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.


Item 8.01

Other Events.

On May 10, 2021, the Company issued a press release pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act announcing its intent to commence the Offering. In accordance with Rule 135c(d) under the Securities Act, a copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any offer to sell, solicitation or sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

WHEREAS, the Obligors have requested that the Noteholders amend certain terms and provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (i) eliminate the requirement that Subsidiaries constituting controlled foreign corporations guarantee the Notes except under certain specified circumstances, and (ii) permit the Parent’s issuance of Permitted Convertible Notes (as hereinafter defined) and entry into related Permitted Bond Hedge Transactions and Permitted Warrant Transactions (each as hereinafter defined) in connection therewith, in each case as more fully set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Noteholders party hereto are willing to consent to such amendments;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 2.2    Subsidiary Guaranty; Security Documents. Paragraph 5K of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

5K.    Subsidiary Guaranty; Security Documents. If any Person (a) after the Effective Date becomes (whether upon its formation, by acquisition of its Equity Interests, or otherwise) and continues to be a Subsidiary of any Credit Party, other than an Immaterial Subsidiary (a “New Subsidiary”), or (b) that is or was an Immaterial Subsidiary of a Credit Party (x) ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary of a Credit Party or (y) becomes a borrower, co-borrower or guarantor of, or pledges shares of its subsidiaries to secure all or any part of, the Indebtedness under, or in respect of, the Bank Credit Agreement (any such Subsidiary described in this clause (b) hereof, a “New Guarantor”), the Obligors shall promptly, but in any event within 30 days (subject to paragraph 5N below), furnish a notice in writing of such facts to the holders of Notes and take the following actions:

3


Convertible Notes not to exceed the sum of (A) the principal amount of such Permitted Convertible Notes plus (B) any payments received by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the exercise, settlement or termination of any related Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction and (viii) (A) any payments in connection with a Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction and (B) the settlement of any related Permitted Warrant Transaction either (1) in shares of common stock or (2) in cash by set-off against the related Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction or to the extent such payment is substantially concurrently received under any Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction.”

Section 2.4    Swap Agreements. Paragraph 6N of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word “and” from the end of clause (a) thereof, replacing the period at the end of clause (b) with a comma, and inserting the following to the end thereof:

LCI INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES PROPOSED OFFERING OF $400 MILLION

AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

Elkhart, Indiana – May 10, 2021 - LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII) (the “Company”) which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. (“Lippert”), supplies a broad array of highly engineered components for the leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the recreation and transportation product markets, and the related aftermarkets of those industries, today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “notes”) in a private placement (the “offering”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the offering, the Company expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period from and including the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes.

The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Final terms of the notes, including the initial conversion price, interest rate and certain other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering. The notes will be generally unsecured obligations of the Company and will bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, and the notes will mature on May 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 15, 2026, noteholders may convert their notes only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods. On or after January 15, 2026 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert all or any portion of their notes at any time.

The Company will settle conversions by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted, based on the then applicable conversion rate. Noteholders will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes.

In connection with the offering of the notes, the Company expects to enter into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with one or more financial institutions, which may include one or more of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates (the “option counterparties”). These transactions will cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will initially underlie the notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential equity dilution, and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount due, as the case may be, upon conversion of the notes.


The Company also expects to enter into separate, privately negotiated warrant transactions with the option counterparties at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, pursuant to which the Company will sell warrants to the option counterparties. The warrants could have a dilutive effect on the Company’s outstanding common stock and the Company’s earnings per share to the extent that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of those warrants.

If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Company expects to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions and additional warrant transactions with the option counterparties, which will initially cover the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will initially underlie the additional notes sold to the initial purchasers.

The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of entering into the convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the warrant transactions). The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then the Company intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the additional warrant transactions).

The Company has been advised that in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or purchase shares of the Company’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could have the effect of increasing (or reducing the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company’s common stock and/or the notes at that time. The option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling the Company’s common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates are likely to do so in connection with any conversion of the notes or redemption or repurchase of the notes).

The potential effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the market price of the Company’s common stock or the notes will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time, but any of these activities could adversely affect the value of the Company’s common stock, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the notes, the value of the notes and the amount of cash and the number of and value of the shares of the Company’s common stock, if any, noteholders would receive upon conversion of the notes.

The offer and sale of the notes and the shares of the Company’s common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and the notes and such shares may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. Any offers of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. The notes being offered have not been approved or disapproved by any regulatory


authority, nor has any such authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the applicable private offering memorandum.
