Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility
2022 Activity
On December 8, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the fourth amended and restated syndicated facility agreement and incremental assumption agreement ("the Amendment”) further amending its existing senior secured credit facility (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), as described below. The Amendment provides for a new incremental term facility in an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million, to be used, in part, to finance the Company’s acquisition of Liquibox. See Note 25, "Events Subsequent to December 31, 2022," for further details related to the Liquibox acquisition.
On March 25, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto. The changes include (i) the refinancing of the term loan A facilities and revolving credit facilities with a new U.S. dollar term loan A facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $475.0 million, a new pounds sterling term loan A facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately £27.2 million, and revolving credit facilities of $1.0 billion (including revolving facilities available in U.S. dollars, euros, pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Japanese yen, New Zealand dollars and Mexican pesos), (ii) the conversion of the facilities rate from a LIBOR-based rate to a SOFR-based rate, (iii) improved pricing terms which will range from 100 to 175 basis points (bps) in the case of SOFR loans, subject to the achievement of certain leverage tests, (iv) the extension of the final maturity of the term loan A facilities and revolving credit commitment to March 25, 2027, (v) the release of all non-U.S. collateral previously pledged by the Company's subsidiaries and the release of all existing guarantees for non-U.S., non-borrower Company subsidiaries, (vi) the adjustment of certain covenants to provide flexibility to incur additional indebtedness and take other actions and (vii) other amendments.
As a result of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we recognized a $0.7 million pre-tax loss on debt redemption and refinancing activities in Other (expense) income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the first quarter of 2022. This amount includes $0.4 million of accelerated amortization of original issuance discount related to the term loan A and lender and non-lender fees related to the entire credit facility. Also included in the loss on debt redemption and refinancing activities was $0.3 million of non-lender fees incurred in connection with the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. In addition, we incurred $1.2 million of lender and third-party fees that are included in the carrying amounts of the outstanding debt under the credit facility. We also capitalized $3.0 million of fees that are included in Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amortization expense related to original issuance discount and lender and non-lender fees is calculated using the effective interest rate method over the lives of the respective debt instruments.
Total amortization expense related to the senior secured credit facility was $1.3 million, included within Interest expense, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Senior Notes
2023 Activity - Subsequent to December 31, 2022
On January 31, 2023, the Company issued $775.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). The 2028 Notes will mature on February 1, 2028. Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2023. The 2028 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities, subject to release under certain circumstances.
We may redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to February 1, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a "make-whole premium". On or after February 1, 2025, we may redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to February 1, 2025, we may redeem up to 40% of the 2028 Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings.
The net proceeds from the 2028 Notes offering were to be used (i) together with a borrowing under the Company’s incremental term loan facility and cash on hand, to finance the previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Liquibox, including related fees and expenses, (ii) to repurchase any or all of the Company’s outstanding 4.500% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Euro Notes”) pursuant to the tender offer commenced by the Company on January 27, 2023 and satisfy and discharge all of the Company’s outstanding 2023 Euro Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture
governing the 2023 Euro Notes and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses in connection therewith and (iii) to the extent of any remaining proceeds after giving effect to the foregoing transactions, for general corporate purposes. On February 1, 2023, the Company paid €233.3 million principal amount for the repurchase of the 2023 Euro Notes. The remaining €166.7 million principal amount of the 2023 Euro Notes will be satisfied and discharged in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the 2023 Euro Notes. See Note 25, "Events Subsequent to December 31, 2022," for further details related to the Liquibox acquisition.
2022 Activity
On April 19, 2022, the Company issued $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"). The 2029 Notes will mature on April 15, 2029. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2022. The 2029 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities, subject to release under certain circumstances. We also capitalized $4.2 million of fees incurred in connection with the 2029 Notes, which are included in Long-term debt, less current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We may redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to April 15, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a "make-whole premium". On or after April 15, 2025, we may redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2025, we may redeem up to 40% of the 2029 Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings.
The net proceeds from the 2029 Notes offering were used to repurchase the 5.250% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) tendered pursuant to the tender offer commenced by the Company on April 5, 2022 and to satisfy and discharge all remaining 2023 Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2023 Notes. The aggregate repurchase price was $435.9 million, which included the principal amount of $425.0 million, a premium of $9.6 million and accrued interest of $1.3 million. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $10.5 million on the extinguishment, including the premium mentioned above and $0.9 million of accelerated amortization of non-lender fees, included within Other (expense) income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the second quarter of 2022.
Senior Secured Notes
2021 Activity
On September 29, 2021, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 1.573% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes will mature on October 15, 2026. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2022. The 2026 Notes and related guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by liens on substantially all of the Company's and the Guarantors' personal property securing obligations that the Company owes to lenders under the Company's senior secured credit facilities on a pari passu basis, in each case excluding certain property and subject to certain other exceptions.
Prior to the date that is one month prior to the scheduled maturity date of the 2026 Notes (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the 2026 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such 2026 Notes or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such 2026 Notes (assuming for this purpose that interest accrued to the Par Call Date is scheduled to be paid on the Par Call Date) from the redemption date to the Par Call Date discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis, plus in either (i) or (ii), any interest accrued but not paid to the date of redemption.
At any time on or after the Par Call Date, Sealed Air may redeem the 2026 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any interest accrued but not paid to, but not including, the date of redemption.
We capitalized $5.3 million of non-lender fees incurred in connection with the 2026 Notes which are included in Long-term debt, less current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The net proceeds from the offering of the 2026 Notes were used (i) to repurchase the outstanding 4.875% senior notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) tendered pursuant to the tender offer commenced by the Company on September 15, 2021, (ii) to satisfy and discharge all of the remaining outstanding 2022 Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2022 Notes, and (iii) to repay a portion of the U.S. dollar tranche of Term Loan A due 2023.
