KPS Capital Partners, LP ("KPS") announced today that its portfolio company, HHI Group Holdings, LLC ("HHI"), completed its second successful recapitalization in 2010. The proceeds of the recapitalization – funded by a combination of a $30 million upsizing of the Company's term loan, cash on hand and the Company's asset-based revolving credit facility – were used to fund a $50 million cash distribution to stockholders.
Following the second recapitalization, HHI remains conservatively capitalized and has the continued support of KPS, its majority stockholder. KPS and minority stockholders, including MC Capital Inc., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corp., and HHI management, continue to own 100% of HHI's common stock.
HHI completed a $300 million recapitalization on March 31, 2010. The proceeds of the recapitalization were used to refinance outstanding debt, to fund a $150 million cash distribution to stockholders and to fund the Company's continued growth.
Financing for the transaction was provided by a syndicate of banks and institutional investors with Bank of America Merrill Lynch acting as Sole Lead Arranger on the upsizing of the Company's term loan.
Jenner & Block LLP served as legal counsel to HHI with respect to the transaction.
