On August 8, 2013, Franks International N.V., a limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (the Company) and Franks International Management B.V., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands, acting in its capacity as sole general partner of Franks International C.V., a limited partnership organized under the laws of The Netherlands (FICV) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Simmons & Company International as representatives of the several underwrites named therein (the Underwriters), relating to the offer and sale of the Companys common stock, par value 0.01 per share (the Common Stock). The Underwriting Agreement provides for the offer and sale (the Offering) by the Company, and purchase by the Underwriters, of 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $22.00 per share ($20.735 per share net of underwriting discounts and commissions). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option (the Underwriters Option) to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the Option Shares) at the same price per share, to cover over-allotments, if any. On August 9, 2013, the Underwriters exercised the Underwriters Option in full. The material terms of the Offering are described in the prospectus, dated August 8, 2013 (the Prospectus), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on August 9, 2013, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Offering is registered with the Commission pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-188536), initially filed by the Company on May 10, 2013.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, closing conditions and termination provisions. The Company and FICV have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
The Offering, including the Underwriters Option, closed on August 14, 2013, and the Company received proceeds (the Net Proceeds) from the Offering of approximately $711.9 million (net of underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company). As described in the Prospectus, the Net Proceeds of the Offering were used to repay in full outstanding notes payable to FWW B.V., under which an aggregate of $415.4 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2013. The remaining Net Proceeds (including any proceeds attributable to the Underwriters exercise of their option to purchase the Option Shares) will be contributed to FICV. FICV will use such proceeds for general corporate purposes.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
