Tennant Company ("the Company") is filing with this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) (i) the audited consolidated statements of earnings, statements of comprehensive income, statements of cash flows and statements of shareholders' equity of the Company for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016 and the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 to include additional guarantor information in the note entitled “Separate Financial Information of Guarantor Subsidiaries," (ii) the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the related condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 to include additional guarantor information in the note entitled "Separate Financial Information of Guarantor Subsidiaries," and (iii) the unaudited pro forma combined condensed income statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed income statements combine the historical income statements of the Company and IPC (as defined below). On April 6, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of IP Cleaning, S.p.A. ("IPC"), and its subsidiaries (the "Acquisition"). The unaudited pro forma combined condensed income statements give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2016. The Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes related thereto, unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes related thereto and the unaudited pro forma combined condensed income statements are filed as Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
As previously disclosed, in April 2017 the Company issued in a private placement $300 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Original Notes”). The Original Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by two subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). In connection with the private placement of the Original Notes, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement relating to the Original Notes, pursuant to which the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are filing a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to exchange the Original Notes for new notes (the “Exchange Notes”), with terms (including the guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors) identical in all material respects to the terms of the Original Notes (except that the Exchange Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate) (the “Exchange Offer”). In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company will be required, pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, to include in its financial statements certain financial information with respect to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company.
The audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes related thereto have been updated to include the notes entitled “Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information." All other information, including financial information, provided in each of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Form 10-K”), and the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017 (the “Form 10-Q”), remains unchanged and this Current Report does not modify or update the disclosures in the Form 10-K or the Form 10-Q in any other way. This Current Report should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q.
