Primo Water Corporation, the leading provider of multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill water and water dispensers, announced it has completed the acquisition of Glacier Water Services, Inc., for approximately $273 million.

The total transaction consideration included approximately $50 million in cash, approximately $36 million in Primo common stock, the assumption or retirement of approximately $177 million of net indebtedness and preferred stock, and five-year warrants to purchase 2.0 million shares of Primo's common stock at an exercise price of $11.88 per share. The assumed indebtedness includes Glacier's trust preferred securities due in 2028, which will remain outstanding.  Primo financed the transaction with proceeds from a new $196 million senior credit facility consisting of a five-year revolver and term loan with minimal amortization requirements.

According to an 8-K filing, Goldman Sachs is the adminstrative agent on the senior credit facility .

"The completion of this acquisition is an exciting step forward. We welcome the Glacier team to the Primo family as we unite two highly-complementary businesses to create significant benefits for our customers and retail partners," said Billy D. Prim, Primo's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The opportunity to expand our portfolio of high-quality water and water dispenser offerings should better position us to diversify our sales channels, create operational synergies, and drive sales, cash flow and profit growth."
