B/E Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq:BEAV), the world’s leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products and the leading aftermarket distributor of aerospace fasteners, today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Honeywell’s Consumables Solutions distribution business (HCS).

“The integration of Honeywell’s distribution business with ours is expected to be an important driver of margin expansion and earnings growth for B/E Aerospace over the next three years. The combined businesses are expected to generate more than 50 percent of B/E Aerospace’s operating earnings beginning in 2009, and to steadily increase the distribution segment’s percentage contribution to B/E Aerospace’s operating earnings in 2010 and 2011. It is unusual for a transaction of this nature to benefit both the buyer and seller of a business in such a significant way. We look forward to partnering with Honeywell Aerospace as we supply its production facilities and sell its aerospace consumables to the global aerospace industry,” commented Amin J. Khoury, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of B/E Aerospace.

The purchase price for the HCS acquisition consisted of $901.4 million of cash consideration, plus six million shares of the company’s common stock. In connection with the HCS acquisition, the company entered into a new $875.0 million senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $525.0 million six-year term loan facility, and a $350.0 million five-year revolving credit facility.
