(c)

On December 16, 2003, the Issuer filed a Schedule TO with the Commission (the “Schedule TO”) disclosing its offer to purchase up to 2,638,500 shares, or such lesser number of shares as are properly tendered, of its Common Stock, at a price not greater than $15.75 nor less than $13.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, as specified by stockholders tendering their shares.  Issuer’s offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, originally filed with the Schedule TO, as such terms and conditions were amended and supplemented on January 6, 2004, January 21, 2004, January 27, 2004 and January 28, 2004 (together, the “Tender Offer”).

The Tender Offer also disclosed that pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on December 15, 2003 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), Issuer agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,169,409 shares of its Common Stock from the Aurora Partnerships at the final tender offer purchase price on the eleventh business day following the date of the last payment made in respect of shares tendered and accepted in the Tender Offer.  On January 27, 2004, Issuer announced that based on the final count of its depositary, American Stock Transfer and

 

17



 

Trust Company, Issuer had accepted for purchase 2,638,500 shares of common stock at $15.75 per share.  As a result, on February 10, 2004, Issuer purchased 1,169,409 shares of its Common Stock from the Aurora Partnerships at the final tender offer price of $15.75.  The final allocations of shares purchased by Issuer were 1,008,418 shares of Common Stock from AEP and 160,991 from AOEP.  For additional information on the Tender Offer and the Stock Purchase Agreement, see the Schedule TO and the documents filed as exhibits thereto filed with the SEC on December 16, 2003, as amended and supplemented on January 6, 2004, January 21, 2004, January 27, 2004 and January 28, 2004, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

In addition, Roeder disposed of 1,000 shares of Common Stock through a bona fide gift to charity on January 21, 2004.

(d)

The right to receive distributions, and proceeds from the sale of the 5,409,939 and 863,678 shares of Common Stock held of record by AEP and AOEP, respectively, is governed by their respective limited partnership agreements, and such distributions or proceeds may be made with respect to the general and limited partnership interests in AEP and AOEP.

(e)  Not applicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Stockholders Agreement.  AEP, AOEP, GEPT and Messrs. Crowell, Parsky and Roeder are parties to that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated August 2, 1994, among Aftermarket Technology Holdings Corp. (the predecessor-in-interest to the Issuer), and certain of its stockholders, optionholders and warrant holders (as amended to date, the “Stockholders Agreement”).  Under the Stockholders Agreement, certain stockholders of the Issuer have granted to the Aurora Partnerships an irrevocable proxy pursuant to which the Aurora Partnerships can vote the shares subject to the proxy in such manner as the Aurora Partnerships shall determine in their respective sole and absolute discretion.  The aggregate number of shares subject to such irrevocable proxy is 533,374 shares as of February 10, 2004, or 2.6% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Each proxy terminates upon the earlier to occur of the transfer of the subject shares or July 31, 2004.  In addition, with limited exceptions, GEPT has irrevocably agreed to vote all shares held by it in such manner as the Aurora Partnerships shall determine, to such extent as its fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 shall allow.  This provision terminates upon the transfer of such shares.  GEPT may be deemed to beneficially own 1,397,165 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 6.8% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Finally, the parties to the Stockholders Agreement have agreed to provide the Issuer with written notice prior to any proposed transfer of their shares of Common Stock.

The Stockholders Agreement also provides that if, after the Aurora Partnerships distribute their shares of Common Stock to their limited partners, any such limited partner holds 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, such limited partner (the “Demand Holder”) will have the right to require the Issuer to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the resale of the Demand Holder’s shares in an underwritten offering.  If following such offering the Demand Holder still holds 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, the Demand Holder will have one additional “demand” registration right.

The Issuer will bear all expenses incident to any registration effected pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, including the fees and expenses of a single counsel retained by the

 

18



 

selling stockholders; however, each selling stockholder will be responsible for the underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes in connection with shares sold by such stockholder.  Each selling stockholder and the underwriters through whom shares are sold on behalf of a selling stockholder will be entitled to customary indemnification from the Issuer against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

In connection with a December 1996 private placement to GEPT, the Issuer granted a “demand” registration right to GEPT.  Such registration right covers the 955,794 shares issued in the private placement as well as 300,000 shares of Common Stock owned by GEPT prior to the private placement.  Pursuant to this registration right, GEPT may, subject to certain limitations, require the Issuer to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of such shares of Common Stock.  In addition, GEPT was granted a “piggyback” registration right to include such shares on a pro rata basis in any registration effected for the account of any person exercising a contractual “demand” registration right granted by the Issuer in the future.  All fees, costs and expenses of such registration (other than underwriting discounts and commissions) will be borne by the Issuer.  GEPT and any underwriters through whom shares are sold on behalf of GEPT will be entitled to customary indemnification from the Issuer against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.  GEPT’s registration rights have been exercisable since December 20, 1999.

The foregoing summary of the Stockholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stockholders Agreement, a copy of which is included as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Management Services Agreement.  The Issuer also pays to ACP a base annual management fee, currently set at approximately $330,000, for advisory and consulting services pursuant to a written management services agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”).  ACP is also entitled to reimbursements from the Issuer for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Management Services Agreement.  The base annual management fee is subject to increase, at the discretion of the disinterested members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, by up to an aggregate of $250,000 in the event the Issuer consummates one or more significant corporate transactions.  The base annual management fee has not been increased as a result of any of the Issuer’s acquisitions.  The base annual management fee is also subject to increase for specified cost of living increases although no such adjustment has been made in the last three years.  If the Issuer’s EBITDA in any year exceeds management’s budgeted EBITDA by 15.0% or more for that year, ACP will be entitled to receive an additional management fee equal to one half of its base annual management fee for such year.  Because the Issuer’s EBITDA did not exceed management’s budgeted EBITDA by 15.0% in 2003, ACP did not receive this additional management fee in 2003.  In the event the Issuer consummates any significant acquisitions or dispositions, ACP will be entitled to receive a closing fee from the Issuer equal to 2.0% of the first $75.0 million of the acquisition consideration (including debt assumed and current assets retained) and 1.0% of acquisition consideration (including debt assumed and current assets retained) in excess of $75.0 million.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment will be made to ACP pursuant to the Management Services Agreement at any time that certain events of default shall have occurred and be then continuing under the Issuer’s bank credit facility.  The Management Services Agreement also provides that the Issuer shall provide ACP and its directors, employees, partners and affiliates with customary indemnification against all actions not involving gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The base annual management fee payable to ACP will be reduced as the collective beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Aurora Partnerships declines below 50% as follows:  for any period during which the collective beneficial ownership of the Aurora

 

19



 

Partnerships is less than 50% but at least 40%, the base annual management fee payable for the period will be 80% of the original base annual management fee (as such original base annual management fee may previously have been adjusted due to discretionary increases by the Board of Directors or cost of living increases as described above, the “Original Fee”); for any period during which the Aurora Partnerships’ collective beneficial ownership is less than 40% but at least 30%, the base annual management fee payable for the period will be 60% of the Original Fee; and for any period during which the collective beneficial ownership of the Aurora Partnerships is less than 30% but at least 20%, the base annual management fee payable for the period will be 40% of the Original Fee.  At the beginning of 2002 the annual management fee was $550,000 but was reduced to $330,000 in September 2002 when the Aurora Partnerships’ collective beneficial ownership declined from approximately 66% to approximately 40% upon the completion of a secondary public offering in which the partnerships, GEPT and holders of shares subject to the Aurora Proxy sold an aggregate of 3.94 million shares.  If the Aurora Partnerships’ collective beneficial ownership declines below 20%, the Management Services Agreement will terminate.  Effective May 1, 1998, the Management Services Agreement was assigned by ACP to Aurora Management Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
