Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Completion of Beer Business Acquisitions

On June 7, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), Constellation Brands, Inc. (“Constellation”) completed the acquisition transactions contemplated in (i) the Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, as amended April 19, 2013 (the “Crown Purchase Agreement”) by and among Constellation, Constellation Beers Ltd. (“Constellation Beers”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation, Constellation Brands Beach Holdings, Inc. (“CBBH”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation, and Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (“ABI”) and (ii) a Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended on April 19, 2013 (the “Brewery Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Crown Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”) by and between Constellation and ABI.

Pursuant to the Crown Purchase Agreement, Constellation purchased the 50% equity interest that it did not already own (the “Purchased Interest”) in Crown Imports LLC (“Crown Imports”), a joint venture between Constellation and GModelo Corporation (“Seller”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo Modelo, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Modelo”), through which Modelo’s Mexican beer portfolio (the “Modelo Brands”) has been imported, marketed and sold in the U.S. since January 2007 (the “Crown Acquisition”). Prior to consummation of the Crown Acquisition, Constellation Beers owned the other 50% interest in Crown Imports and purchased 98% of the Purchased Interest. CBBH purchased the other 2% of the Purchased Interest. As a result of the consummation of the purchase of the Purchased Interest by Constellation Beers and CBBH, Constellation Beers owns a 99% interest in Crown Imports, CBBH owns a 1% interest in Crown Imports, and Crown Imports became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation.

Pursuant to the Brewery Purchase Agreement, Constellation, through CIH International S.à r.l. (“CIH”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation organized under the laws of Luxembourg, purchased: (i) all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Compañía Cervecera de Coahuila, S. de R.L. de C.V., a company organized under the laws of Mexico (the “Brewery Company”), which owns and operates Modelo’s Piedras Negras brewery located in Nava, Coahuila, Mexico (the “Brewery”), (ii) all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Servicios Modelo de Coahuila, S. de R.L. de C.V., a company organized under the laws of Mexico (the “Service Company”), which provides personnel and services for the operation and maintenance of the Brewery, and (iii) an irrevocable, fully-paid license to produce in Mexico (or worldwide under certain circumstances) and exclusively import, market and sell through the Sub-License Agreement (defined below) the Modelo Brands currently sold in the U.S. and Guam and certain extensions (the “Brewery Purchase” and, together with the Crown Acquisition, the “Beer Business Acquisitions”). The business of the Brewery Company and Service Company acquired by Constellation is referred to as the “Brewery Business”.

Prior to the Closing Date, (i) Crown Imports assigned its obligations, right, title, and interest in and to the Interim Supply Agreement (as defined below) to CIH and (ii) Constellation Beers assigned its obligations, right, title, and interest in and to the Sub-License Agreement (as defined below) to CI Cerveza S.à r.l. (“CI Cerveza”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation organized under the laws of Luxembourg. In connection with the consummation of the Beer Business Acquisitions, on the Closing Date: (i) Crown Imports (for the benefit of and simultaneously assigned to CIH), and Modelo entered into an Interim Supply Agreement (the “Interim Supply Agreement”) substantially similar to the form of Interim Supply Agreement attached to the Crown Purchase Agreement, (ii) Constellation Beers (for the benefit of and simultaneously assigned to CI Cerveza), and Marcas Modelo, S. de R.L. de C.V., a company organized under the laws of Mexico, entered into a Sub-License Agreement (the “Sub-License Agreement”) substantially similar to the form of Sub-License Agreement attached to the Brewery Purchase Agreement and (iii) Constellation, for the benefit of the Brewery Company and CIH, and ABI entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) substantially similar to the form of Transition Services Agreement attached to the Brewery Purchase Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Interim Supply Agreement, Sub-License Agreement, and Transition Services Agreement are substantially similar to the terms and conditions previously disclosed in Item 1.01 of Constellation’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, dated February 13, 2013 (filed on February 15, 2013, and as amended by Constellation’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, dated February 13, 2013, and filed on February 25, 2013) and April 19, 2013 (filed on April 19, 2013), respectively, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

The description of the Interim Supply Agreement, Sub-License Agreement, and Transition Services Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Interim Supply Agreement, Sub-License Agreement, and Transition Services Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.


Financing Arrangements

The sources of the aggregate purchase price paid by Constellation in the Beer Business Acquisitions consisted of approximately $232 million of cash on hand (inclusive of $13 million of borrowings under a CIH working capital facility), plus:

 

  the proceeds from the sale of Constellation’s $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Senior Notes due 2021 and $1,050 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2023 (collectively, the “2021/2023 Notes”);

 

  $1,500 million in term loans consisting of a $500 million European Term A loan facility (“European Term A Facility”) to CIH and a $1,000 million European Term B loan facility (“European Term B Facility”) to CIH under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 2, 2013 (the “Second Restated 2012 Credit Agreement”), among Constellation, CIH, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and certain other lenders (all such parties other than Constellation or CIH are collectively referred to as the “Lenders”);

 

  $675 million in term loans under the U.S. Term A-2 facility under the Second Restated 2012 Credit Agreement;

 

  $208 million in proceeds of borrowings under Constellation’s accounts receivable securitization facility; and

 

  $580 million in borrowings under the revolving credit facility under the Second Restated 2012 Credit Agreement.

As a result of the closing of the Beer Business Acquisitions without utilizing any of the commitments thereunder, the Second Amended and Restated Interim Loan Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2013, by and among Constellation, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and a lender and certain other lenders terminated pursuant to its terms.

European Term B Facility Joinder Agreement

On the Closing Date, CIH and Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent and as the lender under the European Term B Facility, entered into a European Term B Joinder Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Joinder Agreement”), pursuant to which CIH drew down the full amount of the $1,000 million in term loans available under the European Term B Facility. The European Term B Facility loans mature seven years from the Closing Date. The rate of interest payable on the European Term B Facility loans, at CIH’s option, will be equal to (i) LIBOR, subject to a minimum rate of 0.75%, plus a margin of 2.0% (declining to 1.75% if Constellation’s debt ratio is less than 4.25 to 1.0), or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 1.0% less than the margin applicable to the LIBOR based loans.

The description of the Joinder Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Joinder Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Guarantee Agreement

On the Closing Date, Constellation and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) executed an Amended and Restated Guarantee Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Amended Guarantee Agreement”), pursuant to which: (i) each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the prompt and complete payment and performance of the indebtedness and other monetary obligations of Constellation under the Second Restated 2012 Credit Agreement, (ii) Constellation unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the borrowings of CIH under the European Term A Facility and the European Term B Facility, and (iii) Crown Imports and CBBH were added as guarantors of the borrowings of Constellation under the U.S. term and revolving loan facilities.

The description of the Amended Guarantee Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amended Guarantee Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and incorporated herein by reference.

Other

The Administrative Agent and certain of its affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking, brokerage and advisory services for Constellation and its subsidiaries for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the financing activities relating to the Beer Business Acquisitions: (i) the Administrative Agent, one of its affiliates and Constellation have entered into an administrative agency letter, and (ii) an affiliate of the Administrative Agent served as an underwriter in Constellation’s recent public offering of the 2021/2023 Notes. The Administrative Agent is also a lender under a credit facility to a Sands family investment vehicle that, because of its relationship with members of the Sands family, is an affiliate of Constellation. Such credit facility is secured by (i) pledges of shares of Constellation’s class A common stock and class B common stock and (ii) personal guarantees of certain members of the Sands’ family, including Richard Sands and Robert Sands.
