Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 2.01     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Item 2.03     Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On August 12, 2022, L.B. Foster Company (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CXT Incorporated, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with VanHooseCo Precast LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“VanHooseCo”), for the Company to acquire the VanHooseCo operating assets (the “Transaction”).

The Purchase Agreement provided for the payment of cash at closing equal to the base consideration of $50,500,000 and further subject to certain adjustments, including a working capital adjustment. An amount equal to $3,500,000 of the purchase price was deposited in an escrow account in order to cover breaches of representations, warranties and retention obligations by the sellers. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, and indemnification obligations.

On August 12, 2022, the Company, its domestic subsidiaries, and certain of its Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into the Second Amendment (“Second Amendment”) to its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N.A., and BMO Harris Bank, National Association. The Second Amendment permits the Company to acquire the operating assets of VanHooseCo and modifies the maximum gross leverage ratio covenant through June 30, 2023 to accommodate the Transaction. The Second Amendment also adds an additional tier to the pricing grid and provides for the conversion from LIBOR-based to SOFR-based borrowings.

Other restrictions exist at all times including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s sale of assets and the incurrence by either the Borrowers or the non-borrower subsidiaries of the Company of other indebtedness, guarantees, and liens.

The descriptions set forth above of the Second Amendment and the Purchase Agreement are summaries only and are not complete, and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Second Amendment and Purchase Agreement, respectively, copies of which will be filed by an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Company funded the full consideration for the Transaction with available funds from the Credit Agreement.
