Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

 

B&G Foods announced today that we intend to amend, extend the maturity date and upsize our existing tranche B term facility under our senior secured credit facility. B&G Foods plans to use the proceeds of the tranche B term loans to refinance the existing tranche B term loans and repay a portion of B&G Foods’ existing revolving loans. B&G Foods also plans to decrease the size of the revolver capacity and extend the maturity date of our existing revolving credit facility. The consummation of the refinancing is subject to completion of definitive agreements as well as customary closing conditions, and is subject to market conditions. There can be no assurance that the refinancing will occur, or, if it does, as to the terms of the refinancing.

 

On June 20, 2024, B&G Foods will be making a slide presentation to prospective lenders in connection with the refinancing.
