Item 1.01.                                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 2, 2015, Oshkosh Corporation (the “Company”) completed its private offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated March 2, 2015, among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.  The material terms of the Indenture are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 18, 2015, which description is incorporated by reference herein.  Such description of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

On March 2, 2015, the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein, entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed (i) to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an exchange offer within 366 days after the issuance of the Notes, or (ii) if required, to have a shelf registration statement declared effective with respect to resales of the Notes.  The material terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 18, 2015, which description is incorporated by reference herein.  Such description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The Company received approximately $245.5 million in proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of the offering payable by the Company.  The Company intends to use the entire net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with available cash, to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8½% Senior Notes due 2020 on March 2, 2015.

 

Item 8.01.                                        Other Events.
