Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement
As previously disclosed, on May 4, 2018, Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC (the “Company”), a subsidiary of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Corporation”), entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, each of the guarantors party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Existing Term Loan Lenders”) pursuant to which the Existing Term Loan Lenders extended term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) to the Company in an aggregate original principal amount of $2,700,000,000.
On November 14, 2023, the Company, together with certain of the Existing Term Loan Lenders (the “Consenting Lenders”), entered in to an amendment to the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”), pursuant to which certain Existing Term Loans held by Consenting Lenders were exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis, at par, for the same principal amount of New Term Loans (as defined below) made (or deemed to be made) under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below) and payment of the exchange fee set forth in the Term Loan Amendment (or refinanced with New Term Loans in a substantially equivalent manner by an affiliate of such Consenting Lender). The aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans subject to such exchange and refinancing was $2,133,914,933.46. In addition, and after giving effect to such exchange and refinancing, Existing Term Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $217,731,807.40 were prepaid on a pro rata basis with the proceeds of certain New Term Loans.
After giving effect to the Term Loan Amendment and the exchange and refinancing and prepayment referred to above, the aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement is $191,979,259.14 and the aggregate principal amount of New Term Loans outstanding under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement is $2,351,646,740.86.
The Existing Term Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum of the original principal amount thereof, which payments have been reduced as a result of the exchange and refinancing transactions referred to above, with the remaining balance due at final maturity on May 4, 2025. Interest is payable on the Existing Term Loans at a rate equal to the term SOFR benchmark rate or the base rate, plus an applicable margin, in each case, subject to a term SOFR benchmark rate floor of 0.00% or a base rate floor of 1.00%, as applicable. The applicable margin for the Existing Term Loan is 3.50% per annum for term SOFR benchmark loans and 2.50% per annum for base rate loans, subject to a stepdown.
The foregoing description of the Term Loan Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Term Loan Amendment, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
