Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events

On February 16, 2017, LMI Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sonaca S.A., a limited liability company validly existing under the laws of Belgium (the “Parent”), Sonaca USA Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and Luminance Merger Sub, Inc., a Missouri corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent, relating to the proposed acquisition of the Company by Parent, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”).

On May 22, 2017, in connection with and conditional upon the consummation of the Merger as further described, and upon certain other conditions set forth, in the Notice of Optional Redemption (the “Conditions Precedent”), the Company provided the holders of all of the outstanding 7.375% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Outstanding Notes”) issued under the Indenture, dated as of June 19, 2014, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, U.S. Bank National Association in its capacity as trustee, and U.S. Bank National Association in its capacity as collateral agent (the "Indenture"), a Notice of Optional Redemption whereby the Company has elected to redeem all of the Outstanding Notes during the period described therein, subject to the satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent. As further described in the Notice of Optional Redemption, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption may be delayed until the Conditions Precedent are satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or the redemption may not occur and the Notice of Optional Redemption may be rescinded in the event that the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date (as defined in the Notice of Optional Redemption). In addition, whether or not the Conditions Precedent are satisfied by the Redemption Date, the Company reserves the right to take any other actions with respect to the Outstanding Notes, including satisfying and discharging the Outstanding Notes or redeeming the Outstanding Notes at a later date.

The redemption price with respect to any redeemed Outstanding Notes will be equal to 103.688% of the principal amount of such note, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

This report does not constitute a notice of redemption under the Indenture nor an offer to tender for, or purchase, any notes or any other security. There can be no assurances that the Conditions Precedent will be satisfied or that the redemption will occur.
