THOMASVILLE, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Cleaver-Brooks, Inc. ("Cleaver-Brooks") announced today that, pursuant to the terms of the previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation by Cleaver-Brooks for its outstanding 12.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the "Notes"), holders of $183,255,000 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (approximately 99.06%) have validly tendered their Notes and have validly delivered the requisite consents prior to the consent date, which was 5:00 pm, New York City time, on December 7, 2012 (the “Consent Date”). The terms of the tender offer and the consent solicitation are detailed in Cleaver-Brooks' offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement and related letter of transmittal, each dated as of November 26, 2012.

Based on the consents received, Cleaver-Brooks, the guarantors of the Notes, the trustee and the collateral agent are expected to enter into a supplemental indenture that will, once operative (i) eliminate or modify substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes, (ii) shorten the minimum redemption notice period from 30 days to three days and (iii) release the liens on the assets securing the Notes. The supplemental indenture will not become operative unless and until the Notes are accepted for purchase, which, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement, is expected to occur on December 19, 2012. Cleaver-Brooks' acceptance of the Notes tendered is conditional on, among other things, (i) the successful completion of the acquisition contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 13, 2012 under which an affiliate of investment funds managed by Harbour Group Industries, Inc. will acquire from Wellspring Capital Partners IV, L.P. and certain other security holders all of the outstanding equity interests of Cleaver-Brooks and (ii) the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture.

Notes tendered and consents delivered pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation may no longer be withdrawn or revoked. Holders of Notes tendered after the Consent Date will not receive a consent payment.

The tender offer and consent solicitation will remain open for an additional 10 business days and will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 21, 2012, unless extended, and, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement, Cleaver-Brooks expects to accept for purchase and settle all Notes tendered after the Consent Date on December 24, 2012.

This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase any Notes or a solicitation of consents. Any offer to purchase the Notes or solicitation of consents will be made by means of an offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement and related letter of transmittal. No offer, solicitation or purchase will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or purchase would be unlawful.
