ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On October 24, 2012, Navistar International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, in connection with the offering of 10,666,666 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Offering”) at a public offering price of $18.75 per share. The Underwriting Agreement grants the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase an additional 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from the Company. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions. In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities that could be incurred by them in connection with the Offering.
The settlement of the sale of the shares contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement occurred on October 30, 2012. The Company received approximately $192 million in net proceeds from the Offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of the Offering. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes.
The Offering was made pursuant to a prospectus dated October 24, 2012, filed as part of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Files No. 333-184565 and 333-184565-01), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 24, 2012.
The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Underwriting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1.
In connection with the Offering, Kirkland and Ellis LLP provided a legal opinion with respect to the enforceability of the shares to be issued by the Company in the Offering attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1.
