Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Other Events


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 16, 2009, AmerisourceBergen Corporation (the "Company") entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement"), by and among the Company, certain of the Company's direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries named therein (the "Guarantors"), and Banc of America Securities LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., on behalf of themselves and as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters"). The Underwriting Agreement provides for the issuance and sale by the Company, and the purchase by the Underwriters, of $400 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 4.875% Senior Notes due November 15, 2019 (the "Notes"). The Underwriting Agreement contains representations, warranties, conditions and covenants of the parties thereto and provides for indemnification by each of the Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters against certain liabilities and contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities. The Company expects to consummate the sale of the Notes to the Underwriters, which is subject to the closing conditions specified in the Underwriting Agreement, on November 19, 2009.
The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will initially be jointly and severally guaranteed (the "Guarantees") on an unsecured basis by the Guarantors. The Guarantors also guarantee the Company's outstanding 5-5/8% Senior Notes due September 15, 2012 and 5-7/8% Senior Notes due September 15, 2015 and the Company's $695 million five-year multi-currency senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility").
The offer and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-162227) (the "Shelf Registration Statement"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2009, and amended on November 4, 2009.
If the sale of the Notes is consummated pursuant to the terms set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, the Company estimates that it will receive net proceeds of approximately $392.6 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses) from the sale of the Notes. The Company intends to use approximately $221.9 million of the net proceeds to repay substantially all of the amounts outstanding under its Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
Certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, commercial banking, derivative transactions and financial advisory services to the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. Specifically, the Underwriters and their affiliates serve various roles in connection with the Company's Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility, including as lenders, administrative agent, syndication agent, co-lead arrangers and joint bookrunners.
The foregoing is a brief description of certain terms of the Underwriting Agreement and, by its nature, is incomplete. It is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference. All readers are encouraged to read the entire text of the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement is also filed with reference to, and is hereby made an exhibit to, the Shelf Registration Statement.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 16, 2009, the Company issued a news release announcing that it priced $400 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes in an underwritten registered public offering. The news release is being furnished with this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
