PLBY Group Announces Successful Completion of Debt Refinancing

New term loan expected to reduce annual debt service by over $13 million

Debt maturity extended to May 2027

LOS ANGELES – May 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –PLBY Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLBY) (“PLBY Group” or the “Company”), a leading pleasure and leisure lifestyle company and owner of Playboy, one of the most recognizable and iconic brands in the world, today announced the successful completion of the refinancing of their existing credit facility through a $160 million senior secured term loan maturing in May 2027.

The new term loan will accrue interest at LIBOR plus 5.75%, with a single step-down to LIBOR plus 5.25% upon achieving gross leverage of 3.0x, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.5%. The debt refinancing is expected to result in an estimated $3 million in annual interest expense savings, reduce amortization by over $3 million annually, and eliminate over $7 million in annual excess cash flow sweep payments. The refinancing also allows the Company to request to borrow at least $30 million of additional incremental term loans, and the Company may borrow unlimited additional amounts of pari passu debt as long as its senior secured leverage ratio is below 4.75x.

“We are pleased to further strengthen our financial flexibility by refinancing our existing facility with a new term loan that should reduce our annual debt service by over $13 million and which provides a defined path for additional borrowing to fund M&A,” said Lance Barton, Chief Financial Officer of PLBY Group. “Following the strength of our first quarter results, we are well-positioned to execute on both our organic and M&A growth initiatives and build upon our incredible global brand.”
