Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 1, 2008, Dynamics Research Corporation (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of Kadix Systems, LLC (“Kadix”) for approximately $42 million in cash with the potential for additional consideration of up to $5 million, based on achievement of certain conditions.  Kadix maintains practice specialties in organizational change, human capital, information technology, public and environmental health and learning and organizational development.  Kadix is focused on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Marine Corps information technology, military medical health, and federal civilian markets.  Kadix currently has about 270 employees and is headquartered in Arlington, VA with additional offices in Greater Washington, DC, Aberdeen, MD, and Fort Sam Houston, TX.  Kadix had annual revenues of $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

The terms of the acquisition of Kadix are set forth in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 30, 2008, between the Company, Kadix and Daisy D. Layman, the sole member of Kadix (the “Seller”), filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The terms of the transaction and the consideration paid by the Company to Seller were a result of arm’s length negotiations between the Company’s representatives and representatives of Seller. Prior to the completion of the transaction, neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its directors and officers and their respective associates had any material relationship with Seller. The Company used borrowings under the unsecured financing agreement described in Item 2.03 below to pay the consideration for the acquisition on the closing date.

 

Item 2.03.

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

On August 1, 2008, the Company entered into a new unsecured credit facility (the “facility”) with its bank group to restructure and increase the Company’s credit facility to $65.0 million. The facility provides for a $40.0 million, five-year term loan (the “term loan”) and a $25.0 million, five-year revolving credit agreement for working capital (the “revolver”). The bank group, led by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. as a lender and as administrative agent (when acting in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), also includes TD Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. The term loan and the revolver replace the Company’s previous $50.0 million revolving credit agreement, which was entered into on September 29, 2006.

On an ongoing basis, the facility requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum net worth and certain cash flow and debt coverage ratios. The covenants also limit the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, purchase capital assets, sell or dispose of assets, make additional acquisitions or investments, or enter into new leases, among other restrictions. In addition, the facility provides that the bank group may accelerate payment of all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest under the facility, upon the occurrence and continuance of certain events of default, including, among others, the following:

•		Any failure by the Company and its subsidiaries to make any payment of principal, interest and other sums due under the facility within three calendar days of the date when such payment is due;
•		Any breach by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of certain covenants, representations and warranties;
•		Any default and acceleration of any indebtedness owed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to any person (other than the bank group) which is in excess of $1,000,000;
•		Any final judgment against the Company or any of its subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000 which has not been insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. as Administrative Agent;
•		Any bankruptcy (voluntary or involuntary) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and
•		Any material adverse change in the business or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries; or
•		Any change in control of the Company.

 

The terms of the facility are more fully described in the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated August 1, 2008, by and among the Company, all of the subsidiaries of the Company, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., TD Banknorth and Bank of America, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the related pledge agreement, filed as Exhibits 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.
