ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
ACQUISITION OF THE MATERIAL HANDLING DIVISION OF SOMMER ALLIBERT S.A.
On December 3, 1998, Sommer Allibert S.A. ("Sommer Allibert"), a French corporation, and Myers Industries, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Myers" or the "Company"), entered into an agreement whereby Myers agreed to acquire the plastic material handling of division of Sommer Allibert, with facilities throughout Europe and in North America. The acquisition included all of the interests in Allibert-Contico, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company with facilities primarily in Springfield, Missouri, part of which are being acquired pursuant to an agreement with Contico International, Inc. On February 4, 1998, Myers closed the transactions, following the expiration of the necessary waiting period for regulatory approval and the satisfaction of other conditions of closing.
The combined purchase price was approximately $200.0 million including assumed debt. The acquisition is not expected to have a material effect on Myers' 1999 earnings, and is expected to be accretive thereafter. The acquisition was financed through a new $250.0 million multi-currency credit facility.
On December 3, 1998, and February 3 and 4, 1999, Myers issued press releases announcing the acquisition and the closing, copies of which are included as Exhibits 99(a) through 99(c) hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
