Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 28, 2024, Pactiv Evergreen Inc. (the “Company”), Pactiv Evergreen Group Holdings Inc. (“PEGHI”), Pactiv LLC (“Pactiv”), Evergreen Packaging LLC (together with PEGHI and Pactiv, the “Borrowers”), certain other subsidiaries of the Company, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“Credit Suisse”), as term loan facility administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as revolving credit facility administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, entered into the Specified Refinancing Amendment and Administrative Agency Transfer Agreement (Amendment No. 18), dated as of May 28, 2024 (“Amendment No. 18”), to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2016 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).
Amendment No. 18 provided for a new tranche of term loans denominated tranche B-4 U.S. term loans (the “B-4 Term Loans”), drawn in a single draw in an aggregate principal amount equal to $1,330 million by the Borrowers on May 28, 2024. The Borrowers used the proceeds of the B-4 Term Loans, together with the proceeds of revolving loans borrowed on the same date, to prepay in full the Company’s then outstanding tranche B-2 U.S. term loans and tranche B-3 U.S. term loans (collectively, the “Existing Term Loans”). The B-4 Term Loans will mature on September 24, 2028. Unlike the Existing Term Loans, the B-4 Term Loans do not provide for a credit spread adjustment, and the B-4 Term Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of SOFR borrowings, Term SOFR plus 2.50% and (ii) in the case of ABR borrowings, the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.50%. Amendment No. 18 also transferred all remaining administrative agent responsibilities from Credit Suisse to Wells Fargo.
The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 18 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and provisions of Amendment No. 18, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 29, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of Amendment No. 18. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information included in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
