Pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, as of the closing of the refinancing on June 24, 2021 the Senior Facilities Agreement was amended and restated (as amended and restated the “Amended Senior Facilities Agreement”) to, among other things (i) refinance the existing €553.2 million senior secured term loan facility through a new 7-year term facility due 2028 under its existing senior facility agreement and (ii) upsize its existing revolving credit facility to a new €175 million, 5-year revolving credit facility due 2026. The Euro denominated term loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to EURIBOR plus 2.50%, the USD denominated term loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.25% and the revolving facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the risk-free rate plus 2.25% (subject to adjustments). If EURIBOR/LIBOR/the risk-free rate (as the case may be) is less than zero, the applicable rate shall be deemed to be zero. The description of the Amended Senior Facilities Agreement contained herein is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Senior Facilities Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On June 24, 2021, the Company entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”) by and among the Company, Nomad Foods BondCo Plc, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Issuer”), the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries named as guarantors therein (together with the Company, the “Guarantors”), Deutsche Trustee Company Limited, as trustee thereunder and the other parties named therein, pursuant to which the Issuer issued €750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% senior secured notes due 2028 (the “Notes”).

Interest on the Notes shall accrue at the rate of 2.50% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2022. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture.
