NOTE 20 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In January 2014, Peco purchased two facilities totaling 233,000 square feet in Clackamas, Oregon for approximately $14.5 million and expects to move its operations into the buildings by the end of the fourth quarter of 2014.

On January 20, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Test and Services Division of EADS North America, Inc. for approximately $53.0 million in cash plus a net working capital adjustment. On February 28, 2014, Astronics completed the acquisition. This division will be reported as part of Test Systems segment.

In connection with the funding of the acquisition discussed above, the Company amended its existing credit facility by entering into Amendment No 2. to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2014. The Company elected to exercise its option to increase the revolving credit commitment. The Credit Agreement now provides for a $125 million five-year revolving credit facility maturing on June 30, 2018, of which $58.0 million was drawn to finance the acquisition. There remains approximately $56.1 million available under the revolving credit facility on February 28, 2014.

The amended facility temporarily increases the maximum leverage ratio permitted under the agreement to 4.0 to 1.0 for fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, 3.75 to 1.0 as of the end of fiscal quarters from September 30, 2014 through March 31, 2015 and 3.5 to 1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter subsequent to March 31, 2015 to maturity. There were no changes to the other covenants, interest rates being charged or commitment fees.
