Pactiv Evergreen Inc. has successfully completed the repricing and upsizing of its senior secured Term Loan B. The transaction reduced the interest rate margin applicable to the B-4 Term Loans by 75 basis points, from 3.25% to 2.50%, and removed the 11 basis point credit spread adjustment from the pricing structure of the B-4 Term Loans.
Moreover, the B-4 Term Loans were upsized by $340 million, increasing the principal balance to $1.33 billion. The proceeds of the B-4 Term Loans, together with the proceeds of a $350 million draw upon the Company’s revolving credit facility, were used to prepay in full the B-2 Term Loans. Collectively, the repricing and prepayment reduce the Company’s annualized cash interest expense by approximately $14 million.
This move will help Pactiv Evergreen extend its debt maturities, reduce its annual interest expense, and enhance its flexibility to reinvest in the Company and further de-lever the balance sheet.
