Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 22, 2021, Graphic Packaging International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) and the primary operating subsidiary of Graphic Packaging Holding Company, entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment (the “Incremental Amendment”), by and among the Company, as Borrower, Graphic Packaging International Partners, LLC and Field Container Queretaro (USA), L.L.C., as Guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”) and CoBank, ACB, as Incremental Term A-3 Lead Arranger and Incremental Term A-3 Lender (in such capacity, the “Incremental Lender”), which amends the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company and certain subsidiaries thereof as Borrowers, the lenders and agents named therein, and the Agent.

The Incremental Amendment provides for a senior secured Farm Credit System incremental term loan facility (the “Incremental Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250 million, which was fully drawn on July 22, 2021. The maturity date of the Incremental Facility is July 22, 2028, and any borrowings under the Incremental Facility shall bear interest at a floating rate per annum ranging from LIBOR plus 1.50% to LIBOR plus 2.25%, determined using a pricing grid based upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio from time to time. As long as the loan is outstanding, the Company will be eligible to receive an annual patronage credit from the participating banks, which will be paid in cash and stock in the lead member bank. Patronage payable each year is variable and based on the individual financial performance of each of the member banks then participating in the loan. The Incremental Facility is governed by the same covenants as are set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and the Incremental Facility is secured by a first priority lien and security interest in certain assets of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Incremental Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Incremental Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, on July 23, 2021, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Fourth Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and Incremental Facility Amendment (Incremental Euro Tranche Increase and Incremental Euro Term Facility) (the “First Amendment”), by and among the Company and certain subsidiaries thereof as Borrowers, the lenders and agents named therein, and the Agent, which further amends the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The First Amendment provides for, among other things, (a) a delayed draw term loan facility in a maximum aggregate principal amount equal to €210 million (the “Delayed Draw Euro Term Loan Facility”), and (b) a €25.0 million increase to the existing Euro-denominated revolving credit facility provided for under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Increase”). The Delayed Draw Euro Term Loan Facility shall (i) mature on April 1, 2026, (ii) be available to be drawn in a single drawing on or before May 12, 2022, (iii) bear interest at a floating rate per annum ranging from LIBOR plus 1.125% to LIBOR plus 1.75%, determined using a pricing grid based upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio from time to time, and (iv) be governed by the same covenants as are set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and secured by a first priority lien and security interest in certain assets of the Company.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is 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 information set forth in Item 1.01 above and the full text of the Incremental Amendment and the First Amendment, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, are incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

D.    The Incremental Term A-3 Lender is willing to provide the Incremental Term A-3 Facility, on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in subsection 2.6 of the Credit Agreement.


In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:

1.    Amendment. Subject to the covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(c)    Availability/Borrowing.

effect as a result of the delivery of such financial statements, then the Applicable Margin during the period from the date upon which such financial statements were required to be delivered (without giving effect to any applicable cure period) until the date upon which they actually are delivered shall, except as otherwise provided in clause (iii) below, be the Applicable Margin as so increased;

(ii)    if such financial statements and certificate are delivered after the date such financial statements and certificate were required to be delivered and the Applicable Margin decreases from that previously in effect as a result of the delivery of such financial statements, then such decrease in the Applicable Margin shall not become applicable until the date upon which the financial statements and certificate actually are delivered; and

(iii)    if such financial statements and certificate are not delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period, then, effective upon such expiration, for the period from the date upon which such financial statements and certificate were required to be delivered (after the expiration of the applicable cure period) until two Business Days following the date upon which they actually are delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be 1.25% per annum in the case of Base Rate Loans, and 2.25% per annum in the case of Eurocurrency Loans (it being understood that the foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement).

In addition, at all times while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Applicable Margin shall not decrease from that previously in effect as a result of the delivery of such financial statements and certificate.

(f)    Default Rate. If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of the Incremental Term A-3 Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any unused commitment fee or other amount payable under this Agreement shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum determined in accordance with Section 2(e) of this Agreement as of such date plus an additional margin of 2% per annum from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). While any Event of Default specified in subsection 9(f) of the Credit Agreement exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at an interest rate per annum determined in accordance with Section 2(e) of this Agreement as of such date plus an additional margin of 2% per annum to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. In each case, such adjusted rate shall constitute a Default Rate under the Credit Agreement.

(g)    Interest Payment Dates.

(i)     As to any Eurocurrency Loan, the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and the Termination Date of the Facility under which such Loan was made; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan exceeds three months, the respective dates that fall every three months after the beginning of such Interest Period shall also be Interest Payment Dates.

 

4


(ii)     As to any Base Rate Loan, the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October and the Termination Date of the Facility under which such Loan was made.

(iii)    Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and the Incremental Term A-3 Loan Maturity Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Incremental Term A-3 Loan Funding Date, provided that the interest accruing pursuant to section 2(f) of this Agreement shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(h)    Prepayment; Indemnity.

(i)    The Borrower may any time and from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term A-3 Lead Arranger pursuant to delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term A-3 Lead Arranger of a duly executed notice of loan prepayment substantially consistent (where applicable) with Exhibit L (Notice of Loan Prepayment) to the Credit Agreement, prepay the Incremental Term A-3 Loan made to it, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium; provided, that all such voluntary prepayments shall be subject to Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement, provided, further, that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term A-3 Lead Arranger three (3) Business Days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid. Upon the receipt of any such notice the Incremental Term A-3 Lead Arranger shall promptly notify the Incremental Term A-3 Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with the amounts due pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement and accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of prepayment under this clause (h)(i) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Incremental Term A-3 Loan, which refinancing shall not have been consummated or shall have otherwise been delayed. Partial prepayments pursuant to this clause (h) shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.

(ii)    In connection with any mandatory prepayment under subsection 4.2(b) of the Credit Agreement and in accordance with subsection 4.2(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall ensure (whether through an additional optional prepayment or otherwise) that the Incremental Term A-3 Loan is prepaid on a ratable basis with the outstanding Term A-1 Loans and Term A-2 Loans pursuant to subsection 4.2(d) of the Credit Agreement; it being understood that the amount of the prepayment required by subsection 4.2(b) to be applied to the Incremental Term A-3 Loan shall be reduced by the portion of Net Cash Proceeds required to make corresponding mandatory prepayments of any Term A-1 Loans, any Term A-2 Loans, any pari passu Incremental Term Loans and any other pari passu Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subsection 8.2(e)(i) or (e)(ii) of the Credit Agreement then outstanding that requires such corresponding mandatory prepayment; provided that (x) such prepayment of the Incremental Term A-3 Loan shall be applied to the principal installment payment of the Incremental Term A-3 Loan due at

 

5


maturity and (y) any such mandatory prepayment shall be subject to subsection 4.2(g) of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement, Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to any mandatory prepayment of any portion of the Incremental Term A-3 Loan pursuant to subsection 4.2(b) of the Credit Agreement and to any payment of any portion of the Incremental Term A-3 Loan following an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9 of the Credit Agreement.

(i)    Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Incremental Term A-3 Loan shall be used by the Borrower to refinance previous investments that allow its pulp and paper mills to generate power from renewable energy sources (namely, energy conversion systems fueled by biomass) and use the renewable power for their operations (collectively, the “Renewable Energy Investments”) (or financings thereof or indebtedness incurred in connection therewith) or to finance new Renewable Energy Investments.

(k)    CoBank Equity. Until the Incremental Term A-3 Loan Funding Date, the Borrower will maintain its status as an entity eligible to borrow from CoBank. So long as CoBank is the Incremental Term A-3 Lender hereunder, the Borrower will acquire equity in CoBank in such amounts and at such times as CoBank may require in accordance with CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum amount of equity that the Borrower may be required to purchase in CoBank in connection with the Incremental Term A-3 Loan made by CoBank may not exceed the maximum amount permitted by the Bylaws and the Capital Plan at the time this Agreement is entered into. The Borrower acknowledges receipt of a copy of (i) CoBank’s most recent annual report, and if more recent, CoBank’s latest quarterly report, (ii) CoBank’s Notice to Prospective Stockholders and (iii) CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan, which describe the nature of all of the Borrower’s cash patronage, stock and other equities in CoBank acquired in connection with its patronage loan from CoBank (the “CoBank Equities”) as well as capitalization requirements, and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.

(l)    Incremental Facility Amendment. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that for all purposes (i) this Agreement shall be considered an “Incremental Facility Amendment”, (ii) the Incremental Term A-3 Facility provided herein shall be considered an “Incremental Term Facility”, (iii) the Incremental Term A-3 Lender shall be considered an “Incremental Term Lender”, (iv) the borrowing to be made hereunder shall be considered an “Incremental Term Borrowing”, (v) the commitment of the Incremental Term A-3 Lender hereunder to make the Incremental Term A-3 Loan pursuant to the terms hereof shall be considered an “Incremental Term Commitment” and (vi) each Loan made pursuant to this Section 2 shall be considered an “Incremental Term Loan”, in each case as such terms are defined in and used in the Credit

 

6


Agreement. Furthermore, (x) the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that for all purposes, (i) the Obligations in respect of the Incremental Term A-3 Loan as provided herein shall be considered “Credit Agreement Obligations” and (ii) the Incremental Term A-3 Facility as provided herein shall be considered one of the “Credit Facilities”, in each case as such terms are defined in the Intercreditor Agreement, and (y) the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that for all purposes the Incremental Term A-3 Facility as provided herein constitutes a “Credit Facility” under and as defined in the Indentures (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

(m)    Promissory Note. The Borrower agrees that, in order to evidence the Incremental Term A-3 Lender’s Incremental Term A-3 Loan, the Borrower will execute and deliver to the Incremental Term A-3 Lender a promissory note in form and substance as reasonably requested by the Incremental Term A-3 Lead Arranger, with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount, payable to the Incremental Term A-3 Lender and in a principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Incremental Term A-3 Loan made by the Incremental Term A-3 Lender to the Borrower.

For purposes of clause (iii) of “Applicable Margin”, if such financial statements and certificate are not delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period set forth in the Credit Agreement, then, effective upon such expiration, for the period from the date upon which such financial statements and certificate were required to be delivered (after the expiration of the applicable cure period) until two Business Days following the date upon which they actually are delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be 1.750% per annum in the case of Incremental Euro Term Loans and 0.350% in the case of the Incremental Euro Term Loan Commitment Fee Rate.

(j)    Unused Commitment Fee. In consideration of the Incremental Euro Term Facility, the Company agrees to pay to the Incremental Euro Term Facility Lenders, subject to adjustment as provided in subsection 4.6(e) of the Credit Agreement, an unused commitment fee for the period from and including the 31st day following the Amendment Effective Date through the Incremental Euro Termination Date, in an amount equal to the per annum “Incremental Euro Term Loan Commitment Fee Rate” as set forth in the Incremental Euro Term Loan Pricing Grid set forth above on the daily amount of the outstanding Incremental Euro Term Loan Commitments, and such amounts shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the second Business Day of each January, April, July and October and on the Incremental Euro Termination Date.

(v)    Subsection 11.1(d) of the Credit Agreement is amended to add reference to “or the Required Incremental Euro Term Facility Lenders” after “Required Revolving Yen Tranche Lenders” in the 6th line thereof.
