New York, February 25, 2013 — Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP represented MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. (NYSE: MSM) in connection with the negotiation of a definitive agreement to acquire the North American distribution business of Barnes Group Inc. (NYSE: B). The acquisition, which is structured as an asset purchase, is scheduled to close in late March or early in the second quarter. The purchase price will be $550 million, subject to adjustment.
MSC, with the acquisition, will add a highly complementary provider of fasteners and other high margin consumable products and services (often referred to as Class C items) with an industry-leading field sales force and vendor managed inventory ('VMI') solution. MSC expects that the transaction will nearly double its existing sales force.
