On February 26, 2021, Berry Global Group, Inc. (“Berry”), via one of its indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries, commenced an offering of first priority senior secured notes due 2026 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes would be an additional issuance of the 1.57% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2026 issued pursuant to the indenture dated December 22, 2020 (the "Existing Notes") and would be consolidated with and form a single series with the Existing Notes. The New Notes offered would have the same terms as the Existing Notes, other than the settlement date and offering price. The offering is subject to market and other conditions. The New Notes will be 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 New 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 or other securities laws. This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the New Notes in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
Berry is disclosing under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K the information included as Exhibit 99.2, which information is incorporated by reference herein. This information, which has not been previously reported, is excerpted from a preliminary offering memorandum that is being disseminated in connection with the offering described above. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.2, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
