Preliminary Note
On February 3, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the joint plan of reorganization of W. R. Grace & Co. (“Grace”) and its debtor subsidiaries (as amended to date, the “Joint Plan”) became effective. For additional information regarding the Joint Plan, see Item 1.03 of this Report. In connection with the effectiveness of the Joint Plan, Grace and/or its principal subsidiary W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn. (“Grace-Conn.”) entered into the following agreements:
Credit Agreement
On February 3, 2014, Grace entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among W. R. Grace & Co., a Delaware corporation, W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn., a Connecticut corporation (the “Borrower”), and Grace GmbH & Co. KG, a limited partnership under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (the “German Borrower”), each lender from time to time party thereto, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for:
| |
(a) | a $250 million revolving facility due 2019 (the “U.S. Revolving Facility”); |
| |
(b) | a $150 million multicurrency revolving facility due 2019 (the “Multicurrency Revolving Facility” and together with the U.S. Revolving Facility, the “Revolving Facilities”); |
| |
(c) | a $700 million term loan due 2021 (the “U.S. Term Facility”); |
| |
(d) | a EURO 150 million term loan due 2021 (the “Euro Term Facility”); and |
| |
(e) | a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility due 2021 (the “Delayed Draw Term Facility” and together with the U.S. Term Facility and the Euro Term Facility, the “Term Facilities,” and the Term Facilities together with the Revolving Facilities, the “Credit Facilities”). |
The Term Facilities will amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount thereof. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the U.S. Term Facility and the Euro Term Facility to fund payments under the Joint Plan, pay costs in connection with the same and the Credit Facilities and for general corporate purposes. The Delayed Draw Term Facility is available to the Borrower for borrowings within one year after the Effective Date for general corporate purposes, including a settlement of the warrant described below under the captions “-Warrant Agreement” and -[Warrant] Implementation Letter. The Revolving Facilities are available to the Borrower (or the German Borrower, as applicable) for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
U.S. Dollar denominated Loans in respect of the Credit Facilities may be borrowed in LIBOR and Base Rate. Base Rate is the greatest of: the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal; the federal funds rate plus ½ of 1%; and one month LIBOR plus 1% (which, in respect of the U.S. Term Facility only, shall have a 0.75% LIBOR floor). Multicurrency Loans in respect of the Credit Facilities may be borrowed in LIBOR, EURIBOR and CDOR (the “Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate”) depending on borrowed currency. Loans in respect of the Revolving Facilities will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.75%, and Base Rate plus 0.75%. Loans in respect of the U.S. Term Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Facility will accrue interest at a rate per annum initially equal to LIBOR plus 2.25%, with a 0.75% LIBOR floor. Loans in respect of the Euro Term Facility will accrue interest at a rate per annum initially equal to EURIBOR plus 2.50%, with a 0.75% EURIBOR floor. In addition, the margins in respect of the Term Facilities will be subject to step-downs determined by reference to a first lien leverage-based pricing grid. The Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are
guaranteed on a secured basis by Grace and Alltech Associates, Inc., a material U.S. subsidiary of the Borrower (collectively, with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”). The obligations and guarantees of the Loan Parties are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including, but not limited to (i) maintenance of legal existence and compliance with laws and regulations; (ii) delivery of consolidated financial statements and other information; (iii) payment of taxes; (iv) delivery of notices of defaults and certain other material events; and (v) maintenance of adequate insurance. The Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including but not limited to restrictions on (i) dividends on, and redemptions of, equity interests and other restricted payments; (ii) liens; (iii) loans and investments; (iv) the sale, transfer or disposition of assets and businesses; (vi) transactions with affiliates; and (vii) a maximum total leverage ratio.
Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to: (i) failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts under the Credit Agreement when due, taking into account any applicable grace period; (ii) any representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; (iii) failure to perform or observe covenants or other terms of the Credit Agreement subject to certain grace periods; (iv) a cross-default and cross-acceleration with certain other material debt; (v) bankruptcy events; (vi) certain defaults under ERISA; and (vii) the invalidity or impairment of security interests.
The foregoing summary description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On the Effective Date, Grace, in accordance with the Joint Plan and on behalf of itself and the other Debtors (as specified in the Joint Plan), entered into the WRG Asbestos PI Trust Agreement (the “PI Trust Agreement”) with the Asbestos PI Future Claimants’ Representative, the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants;, the Asbestos PI Trustees, the Wilmington Trust Company, and the members of the Trust Advisory Committee establishing the WRG Asbestos PI Trust (the “PI Trust”).
As provided by the Joint Plan, the PI Trust is to be funded as described in Item 1.03 of this Report. Pursuant to and in accordance with the Joint Plan, the PI Trust will assume liability for and resolve asbestos personal injury claims, and the Debtors’ present and future liability for these asbestos personal injury claims will be discharged and channeled to the PI Trust.
The foregoing summary description of the PI Trust Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
WRG Asbestos PD Trust Agreement
On the Effective Date, Grace, in accordance with the Joint Plan and on behalf of itself and the other Debtors (as identified in the Joint Plan), entered into the WRG Asbestos Property Damage Settlement Trust Agreement (the “PD Trust Agreement”) with the Asbestos PD Future Claimants’ Representative, the Official Committee of Asbestos Property Damage Claimants, the Asbestos PD Trustees, the Wilmington Trust Company, and the members of the Zonolite Attic Insulation Trust Advisory Committee establishing the WRG Asbestos PD Trust (the “PD Trust”).
As provided by the Joint Plan, the PD Trust is funded as described in Item 1.03 of this Report. Pursuant to and in accordance with the Joint Plan, the PD Trust will assume liability for and resolve asbestos property damage claims. The PD Trust contains two accounts, the “PD account,” in respect of asbestos property damage claims (typically associated with commercial and public buildings) but excluding claims related to Grace’s former attic insulation product (“ZAI”), and the “ZAI PD account,” in respect of asbestos property damage claims related to ZAI (typically found in residential buildings). Non-ZAI asbestos property damage claims are to be paid from the PD account and U.S. ZAI asbestos property damage claims are to be paid from the ZAI PD account. Each account has a separate trustee and the assets of the accounts are not to be commingled. Canadian ZAI PD Claims are to be paid by a separate fund established in Canada.
Grace will be responsible for funding the PD Trust with additional amounts following the Effective Date. See Deferred Payment Agreement Obligation - Property Damage below and Item 1.03 of this Report under the caption “Joint Plan of Reorganization-- Asbestos-Related Property Damage Claims” for a description of Grace’s obligations to the PD Trust after the Effective Date.

Warrant Agreement
On the Effective Date, Grace entered into the Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) by and among Grace, the PI Trust and Computershare Limited. Under the Warrant Agreement, on the Effective Date, Grace will issue to the PI Trust warrants to acquire 10 million shares of Grace common stock at an exercise price of $17.00 per share, expiring one year from the Effective Date. The number of shares of Grace common stock for which the warrant is exercisable and the exercise price therefor are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event of certain actions by Grace. Under the Warrant Agreement, the warrants are freely transferable by the holder thereof, however, the Warrant Agreement and the terms applicable to the warrants were modified in certain respects by the [Warrant] Implementation Letter (described below). Computershare has agreed to act as warrant agent under the Warrant Agreement.
The foregoing summary description of the Warrant Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.09 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Grace has relied, based on the Joint Plan and the confirmation order it received from the Bankruptcy Court, on Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code to exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) the issuance and distribution of the warrants pursuant to the Warrant Agreement.
Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, and state laws if three principal requirements are satisfied: the securities must be offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and must be securities of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan of reorganization with the debtor or of a successor to the debtor under a plan of reorganization; the recipients of the securities must hold claims against or interests in the debtor; and the securities must be issued in exchange for the recipient’s claim against or interest in the debtor or principally in such exchange and partly for cash or property.
[Warrant] Implementation Letter
On the Effective Date, the [Warrant] Implementation Letter (the “Warrant Settlement”) dated as of October 25, 2012, by and among Grace and the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants, the Asbestos PI Future Claimants’ Representative and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, became effective. The Warrant Settlement modifies the Warrant Agreement by providing for the settlement of the warrant in cash during the one-year period after the Effective Date. Under the terms of the Warrant Settlement, Grace may repurchase the warrant issued to the PI Trust for a price equal to the average of the daily closing prices of Grace common stock during the period commencing one day after the Effective Date and ending on the day prior to the date the PI Trust elects to sell the warrant back to Grace, multiplied by 10 million (the number of shares issuable under the warrant), less $170 million (the aggregate exercise price of the warrant), provided that if the average of the daily closing prices is less than $54.50 per share, then the aggregate repurchase price would be $375 million, and if the average of the daily closing prices exceeds $66.00 per share, then the aggregate repurchase price would be $490 million. In the event a tender offer, or certain other proposed transactions that would result in a change in control of Grace, is announced during the one-year period after the Effective Date, the PI Trust may, in its sole discretion, elect to participate in such acquisition transaction as a stockholder and exercise the warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, or by sale of the warrants to the prospective acquirer. Other than in connection with such an acquisition transaction, the PI Trust is prohibited from transferring or exercising the warrants, notwithstanding the terms of the Warrant Agreement.
The foregoing summary description of the Warrant Settlement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Warrant Registration Rights Agreement
On the Effective Date, in connection with the Warrant Agreement and the issuance of the warrants, Grace and the PI Trust entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Warrant Registration Rights Agreement”).

| |
Item 1.03. | Bankruptcy or Receivership |
On February 3, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the joint plan of reorganization of W. R. Grace & Co. (“Grace”) and its debtor subsidiaries (as amended to date, the "Joint Plan") became effective, resulting in the conclusion of Grace’s status as a debtor in the Chapter 11 cases. Since April 2, 2001, Grace had been operating under the protection of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in order to resolve its asbestos-related liabilities in a fair and equitable manner and to protect the long-term value of its businesses for the benefit of its stakeholders. See Grace’s most recent periodic reports for a detailed history of Grace’s Chapter 11 cases.
In September 2008, Grace and other parties filed the Joint Plan with the Bankruptcy Court to address all pending and future asbestos-related claims and all other pre-petition claims as outlined therein. On January 31, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware issued an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Joint Plan. On January 31, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the "District Court") issued an order affirming the Confirmation Order and confirming the Joint Plan in its entirety. On February 3, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the "Third Circuit") dismissed the sole remaining appeal challenging the Confirmation Order, resulting in the Confirmation Order becoming a final order and satisfying a key condition to the effectiveness of the Joint Plan.
Under the Joint Plan, two asbestos trusts have been established under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Confirmation Order contains a channeling injunction which provides that all pending and future asbestos-related personal injury claims and demands (“PI Claims”) are to be channeled for resolution to an asbestos personal injury trust (the ”PI Trust”) and all pending and future asbestos-related property damage claims and demands (“PD Claims”), including PD Claims related to Grace’s former attic insulation product (“ZAI”), are to be channeled to a separate asbestos property damage trust (the “PD Trust”). Canadian ZAI PD Claims are channeled to a separate Canadian claims fund. The trusts are the sole recourse for holders of asbestos-related claims; the channeling injunctions prohibit them from asserting such claims directly against Grace.
Joint Plan of Reorganization
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Joint Plan as it was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court and implemented on the Effective Date. This summary highlights only certain provisions of the Joint Plan and is not a complete description of that document. Therefore, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joint Plan. Under the terms of the Joint Plan, claims under the Chapter 11 Cases are to be satisfied as follows:
Asbestos-Related Personal Injury Claims
All PI Claims have been channeled to the PI Trust for resolution. The PI Trust will use specified trust distribution procedures to satisfy allowed PI Claims.
On the Effective Date, the PI Trust was funded with:
| |
• | $557.75 million in cash from Grace; |
| |
• | A warrant to acquire 10 million shares of Grace common stock at an exercise price of $17.00 per share, expiring one year after Effective Date (the “PI Warrant”) (this obligation is expected to be settled in cash with the PI Trust as discussed below); |
| |
• | Rights to all proceeds under all of the Grace’s insurance policies that are available for payment of PI Claims; |
| |
• | $42.13 million in cash from a subsidiary of Fresenius AG, pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement resolving asbestos-related, successor liability and fraudulent transfer claims against Fresenius; and |
| |
• | $856.82 million in cash and 18 million shares of Sealed Air Corporation common stock paid by Cryovac, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sealed Air Corporation, pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement resolving asbestos-related, successor liability and fraudulent transfer claims against Cryovac and Sealed Air. |
Grace is obligated to make deferred payments to the PI Trust of $110 million per year for five years beginning in 2019, and $100 million per year for 10 years beginning in 2024, which obligation is secured by Grace's obligation to issue 77,372,257 shares of Grace common stock to the asbestos trusts in the event of default.
The amounts that Grace will be obligated to pay to the PI Trust under the Joint Plan are fixed amounts. Grace is not obligated to make additional payments to the PI Trust beyond the payments described herein.
Asbestos-Related Property Damage Claims
All PD Claims have been channeled to the PD Trust for resolution. The PD Trust contains two accounts, the PD account and the ZAI PD account. U.S. ZAI PD Claims are to be paid from the ZAI PD account and non-ZAI PD Claims are to be paid from the PD account. Canadian ZAI PD Claims are to be paid by a separate fund established in Canada. Each account has a separate trustee and the assets of the accounts are not to be commingled.
PD Account
On the Effective Date, the PD account of the PD Trust was funded with $39.85 million in cash from Grace, CDN$8.6 million in cash from Grace and $111.38 million in cash from Cryovac and Fresenius to pay allowed non-ZAI PD claims settled as of the Effective Date.
Following the Effective Date, unresolved and future non-ZAI PD Claims are to be litigated pursuant to procedures to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court and, to the extent such PD claims are determined to be allowed claims, are to be paid in cash by the PD Trust. Grace is obligated to make a payment to the PD Trust every six months in the amount of any non-ZAI PD Claims allowed during the preceding six months plus interest and, except for the first six months, the amount of PD Trust expenses for the preceding six months (the "PD Obligation"). The aggregate amount to be paid under the PD Obligation is not capped and Grace may be obligated to make additional payments to the PD account of the PD Trust in respect of the PD Obligation.
On the Effective Date, the PD Trust contributed CDN$8.6 million to a separate Canadian ZAI PD Claims fund through which Canadian ZAI PD Claims are to be resolved. There are no continuing or contingent obligations to make additional payments into this fund.
ZAI PD Account
On the Effective Date, the ZAI PD account of the PD Trust was funded with approximately $34.36 million in cash from Cryovac and Fresenius.
Grace is obligated to make a payment of $30 million in cash to the ZAI PD account on the third anniversary of the Effective Date and Grace is obligated to make up to 10 contingent deferred payments of $8 million per year to the ZAI PD account during the 20-year period beginning on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, with each
such payment due only if the assets of the ZAI PD account fall below $10 million during the preceding year. The amounts that Grace will be obligated to pay to the ZAI PD account under the Joint Plan are capped amounts. Grace is not obligated to make additional payments to the PD Trust in respect of the ZAI PD account beyond the payments described herein.
The PD Trust is to resolve U.S. ZAI PD Claims that qualify for payment by paying 55% of the claimed amount, but in no event is the PD Trust to pay more per claim than 55% of $7,500 (as adjusted for inflation each year after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date).
All payments to the PD Trust that are not to be paid on the Effective Date are secured by the Grace's obligation to issue 77,372,257 shares of Grace common stock to the asbestos trusts in the event of default. Grace has the right to conduct annual audits of the books, records and claim processing procedures of the PD Trust.
Other Claims
The Joint Plan also provides that all other allowed pre-petition claims will be paid in full on or within 10 days after the Effective Date, or when they otherwise become due. All allowed administrative claims are to be paid in cash and all allowed priority claims are to be paid in cash with interest as provided in the Joint Plan. Secured claims are to be paid in cash with interest or by reinstatement. Allowed general unsecured claims are to be paid in cash, including post-petition interest in accordance with the Joint Plan. Employee-related claims such as pension, retirement medical obligations and workers compensation claims are to be reinstated. Disputed claims that have not been resolved will be resolved in the Bankruptcy Court or another court, where appropriate. If it is ultimately determined that any amounts are owed on these disputed claims, they are to be paid in full, with interest as required. Grace has paid or expects to pay on or within 10 days after the Effective Date $1,361.60 million in respect of other allowed pre-petition or other claims.
After the Effective Date, all persons and entities generally are forever barred from asserting against Grace any claims or demands that are based upon any act or omission, transaction, or other activity, event or occurrence that occurred prior to the Effective Date, except as expressly provided in the Joint Plan.
PI Warrant Settlement
In October 2012, Grace entered into an agreement with the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants, the Asbestos PI Future Claimants’ Representative and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders to settle the PI Warrant in cash during the one-year period after the Effective Date. The terms and conditions of the PI Warrant settlement are described in Item 1.01 of this Report under the caption “[Warrant] Implementation Letter.”
Effect on Grace Common Stock
Under the Joint Plan holders of Grace common stock as of the Effective Date retained their shares, but the interests of shareholders are subject to dilution in the event of default with respect to the deferred payment obligations to the PI Trust or the PD Trust under Grace's security obligation.
Funding for Emergence
Grace funded payments under the Joint Plan and its working capital needs through cash on hand and the Credit Facilities pursuant to the Credit Agreement described in Item 1.01 of this Report. The Credit Facilities are comprised of $700 million and EUR 150 million of funded term loan, $250 million in unfunded delayed-draw term loan, and a $400 million revolving credit facility, of which approximately $300 million is unfunded.
Other Matters
As of December 31, 2013, and prior to giving effect to the Joint Plan, Grace estimated its consolidated assets to be $5,398.4 million and its consolidated liabilities to be $4,827.2 million with a stockholders’ equity of $571.2 million.
As of February 3, 2014, 77,063,385 shares of Grace common stock were issued and outstanding, 10,000,000 shares were reserved for future issuance pursuant to the PI Warrant and 77,372,257 shares were reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement (as described in Items 1.01 and 3.02 of this
Report). An aggregate of 87,372,257 shares of Grace common stock are reserved for future issuance in respect of claims and interests filed and allowed under the Joint Plan.

Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
2014 Stock Incentive Plan
On February 3, 2014, the Grace 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) became effective. As part of the Joint Plan, the Stock Plan was approved by the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and supported by the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders.
The Stock Plan provides for the grant of stock awards, stock options, net exercise options, performance based units and any combination of stock awards, stock options, net exercise options and performance based units to eligible employees, including executive officers, and directors (“Key Persons”). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines which Key Persons will participate in the Stock Plan and the terms of any awards. An aggregate of six million shares have been authorized for issuance as awards over the term of the Plan subject to adjustment only to reflect stock splits and similar events. For each share issued under the Stock Plan: (i) as a stock award to any Director, one share shall be regarded as utilized; and (ii) as a stock award to settle performance based units, one share shall be regarded as utilized.
Stock options and net exercise options granted under the Stock Plan may not have a term longer than five years and one month from the date of grant. The Stock Plan limits awards to any participant, who is subject to Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in any single calendar year to no more than one million shares, subject to adjustment only to reflect stock splits and similar events. Awards under the Stock Plan may be conditioned on continued employment, the passage of time or the satisfaction of performance vesting criteria, which criteria may be based on financial and business performance. Vesting requirements are determined by the Compensation Committee. The Stock Plan can be amended or terminated by the Compensation Committee; provided however, Grace will not, without stockholder approval, reduce the purchase price of an outstanding stock option, subject to adjustment only to reflect stock splits and similar events.
The foregoing summary description of the Stock Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.03 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
