Berry Global Announces Pricing of Offering of First Priority Senior Secured Notes

Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE: BERY) (“Berry”), a leading supplier of packaging solutions for consumer goods and industrial products, announced today the pricing of a private placement launched May 13, 2024, by its wholly owned subsidiary, Berry Global, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The Issuer will issue $800,000,000 of its First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The closing of the private placement offering is expected to occur on or about May 28, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.800%, payable semiannually, in cash in arrears, on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2024. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2031.

The Notes will be guaranteed by Berry and each of the Issuer’s existing and future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the Issuer’s senior secured credit facilities and existing first priority secured notes, subject to certain exceptions. The Notes and the guarantees thereof will be unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s, and, in the case of the guarantees, to all of the guarantors’, existing and future unsubordinated debt. The guarantee by Berry will be unsecured. The Notes will be secured on a second priority basis by liens (subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens) on accounts receivable, inventory and certain related assets that secure the Issuer’s revolving credit facility, and on a first priority basis by liens on the property and assets of the Issuer and the subsidiary guarantors that secure the Issuer’s senior secured term loan credit facility, subject to certain exceptions.

The net proceeds from the offering are intended to (i) repurchase the Issuer’s 4.875% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2026 that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase in a concurrent tender offer, (ii) to pay certain fees and expenses related to the offering and the concurrent tender offer and (iii) in the case of the remainder, if any, to fund cash to the Issuer’s balance sheet which may be used for general corporate purposes including, among other things, prepayment of the Issuer’s existing indebtedness.

The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or other securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
