Item 1.01. |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement
On April 17, 2020, Eagle Materials Inc. (the “Company”), CCP Concrete/Aggregates LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Seller”), Hammonton Farms, LLC (“Hammonton Farms”) and Teichert, Inc. (together with Hammonton Farms, the “Buyer”) entered into and consummated the transactions (the “Equity Sale”) contemplated by a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Seller sold to Buyer all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Western Aggregates LLC (“Western”) and Mathews Readymix LLC (together with Western, the “Acquired Entities”). Prior to the consummation of the Equity Sale, Buyer and certain of its affiliates were customers of the Company and its affiliates, including Western, for the purchase of cement and aggregates.
The purchase price paid by the Buyer in the Equity Sale was $93.5 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, as well as indemnification provisions subject to specified limitations. The indemnification provided by the Seller and the Company, jointly and severally, under the Purchase Agreement covers both breaches of representations and warranties and breaches or nonperformance by the Seller of any covenants or agreements to be performed by the Seller after the closing of the Equity Sale. The indemnification provided by the Buyer, jointly and severally, covers both breaches of representations and warranties and breaches or nonperformance by the Buyer of any covenants or agreements to be performed by the Buyer after the closing of the Equity Sale. In the case of the indemnification provided by the Seller and the Company with respect to breaches of certain representations and warranties, the obligations of the Seller and the Company are subject to a de minimis claim threshold in an amount equal to $25,000, a deductible in an amount equal to $450,000 and a cap on losses equal to $7.0 million. Such de minimis threshold, deductible and cap only apply to indemnification in respect of breaches of certain representations and warranties and do not apply to other indemnification obligations of the Seller and the Company, including obligations to indemnify with respect to breaches or nonperformance by the Seller of any covenants or agreements to be performed by the Seller after the closing of the Equity Sale.
The Purchase Agreement will provide investors with information regarding the terms and conditions of the transactions governed thereby, and the Company intends to file the Purchase Agreement as an exhibit to the Company’s next Form 10-K. The Purchase Agreement is not intended to provide any other financial information about the Acquired Entities. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of the dates specified therein; were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the agreement; may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those that may be viewed as material to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company.
Item 2.01. |
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
The information set forth above in Item 1.01, which describes the Purchase Agreement and the Equity Sale, is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01. The prior relationship of the Company and certain of its affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer and certain of its affiliates, on the other hand, did not have an impact on the formula or principle for determining the consideration paid to the Seller in connection with the Equity Sale.
Item 7.01. |
Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On April 17, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the Equity Sale. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

News for Immediate Release
Eagle Materials Sells Non-Core Concrete and Aggregates Assets
Portfolio Shaping in Anticipation of Eagle Becoming Two Distinct Companies
(DALLAS – April 17, 2020): Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) announced today that the Company has sold its Western Aggregates and Mathews Readymix operations for $93.5 million to Teichert, a California-based construction company. Western Aggregates vested-rights-to-mine covers 3,900 acres and includes over 900 million tons of aggregates. Mathews Ready Mix assets include three concrete batch plant locations and 26 trucks.
Michael Haack, Eagle Materials President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This transaction represents the sale of non-core assets on the heavy-side of our company. In using the term ‘non-core’ I mean that they do not provide essential support to our primary cement plant network. We are especially keen on having the most strategically coherent set of heavy-side assets established in advance of our previously announced spin-off. These divestitures along with the integration of the Kosmos cement plant acquisition, create a focused heavy materials business with a broad capability to serve US heartland cement markets.”
About Eagle Materials Inc.
Eagle Materials Inc. manufactures and distributes Cement, Gypsum Wallboard, Recycled Paperboard, Concrete, Sand and Aggregates, from more than 75 facilities across the US. Eagle is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
