The Credit Agreement provided for a $300,000 revolving credit facility. On May 14, 2021, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the principal amount to $400,000 and to increase the amount of the revolving credit facility by up to an additional $100,000. The Credit Agreement includes certain requirements and covenants, which the Company was in compliance with at March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement leaving $400,000 available. The cash portion of the Merger Consideration, the repayment of assumed debt, and transaction-related expenses were financed with $242,300 borrowings under the Credit Agreement which was drawn down on April 1, 2021.

Convertible Senior Notes. On November 16, 2021, the Company issued $201,250 in aggregate principle of 1.875% convertible senior notes due in 2041 (“2041 Notes”). The total aggregate principal amount includes $26,250 aggregate principal amount of 2041 Notes purchased by the initial purchasers in the offering pursuant to their exercise in full of their option to purchase additional notes under the purchase agreement for the offering. The 2041 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 16, 2021 ( the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, as issuer, Luxco, Inc., MGPI Processing, Inc. and MGPI of Indiana, LLC as subsidiary guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2041 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears at a fixed interest rate of 1.875% on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2041 Notes mature on November 15, 2041 (“Maturity Date”) unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted, per the agreement. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principle amount of the 2041 Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at its election, in respect to the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2041 Notes being converted.
