On September 13, 2013, Graphic Packaging International, Inc. (the Company), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Graphic Packaging Holding Company, entered into an Amendment No. 2 (Amendment No. 2) relating to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 16, 2012, as previously amended (the Credit Agreement) among Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer and Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A., Goldman Sachs Bank USA and SunTrust Bank, as Co-Syndication Agents, and the several lenders from time to time party thereto.
Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, the maturity date of the Companys existing US$1.0 billion revolving credit facility, the Companys existing $1.0 billion term loan A facility and the Companys existing US$300.0 million incremental term loan facility, have each been extended to September 13, 2018 (from March 16, 2017). Further, the interest rate margins under each facility have been reduced by 25 basis points to a range of between 1.50% and 2.50% for loans based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate, depending upon the Companys then current consolidated total leverage ratio. (Interest rate margins for loans utilizing the base rate option have been reduced in a corresponding fashion.)
Amendment No. 2 also adds a new 75.0 million revolving credit facility (the Euro Facility) available to the Company, Graphic Packaging International Europe Holdings, B.V., the Companys primary Dutch subsidiary, and Graphic Packaging International Limited, the Companys primary UK subsidiary. Borrowings under the Euro Facility will be made in Euros and Pounds Sterling and will have the same maturity and interest rate pricing as the Companys US$1.0 billion revolving credit facility, as amended by Amendment No. 2.
Amendment No. 2 also adds a new ¥2.50 billion revolving credit facility (the Yen Facility) available to the Company and Graphic Packaging International Japan Ltd., the Companys primary Japanese subsidiary. Borrowings under the Yen Facility will be made in Yen and will have the same maturity and interest rate pricing as the Companys U.S. $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, as amended by Amendment No. 2.
Except as described above, the Credit Agreement remains in effect without other material amendments or modifications.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 2, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
