Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangement of Registrant
Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (the Company) entered into that Second Amendment to Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement (the Amendment) dated as of September 25, 2009 and effective as of
September 28, 2009 (the Effective Date), by and among the Company, as borrower, Bank of America,
N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders named therein. A copy of the Amendment is attached
as Exhibit 4.1 hereto. The Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date of $1.02
billion in commitments for the extending lenders from November 9, 2011 to November 9, 2012. The
maturity date of the $80 million in commitments for the non-extending lenders remains at November
9, 2011. The Amendment also reduces the interest coverage ratio from 3.0 times to 2.0 times
(interest coverage ratio is calculated as net income attributable to the Company plus interest
expense and provision for income taxes, less equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries,
divided by interest expense) and the total leverage ratio from 0.60 to 1.00 to 0.50 to 1.00 (total
leverage ratio is calculated as total debt, inclusive of capital lease obligations and outstanding
letters of credit, divided by the Companys shareholders equity plus total debt) requirements
through March 31, 2010. From the Effective Date through June 30, 2010, the Amendment places
certain limitations on the Companys use of cash to make investments, distributions and
acquisitions, except as specifically provided in the Amendment. Pricing was also adjusted.
Concurrent with the Amendment, the Company paid off and terminated its term loan that had an
outstanding balance of approximately $444 million.
All of the Companys wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries are guarantors of all of the
Companys consolidated debt including the items discussed above.
The foregoing description and the description in the press release are qualified in their entirety
by reference to the full text of the Amendment.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Company issued a press release on September 29, 2009 announcing the Amendment and updating
its 2009 third quarter outlook. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
