Item 1.01 | Entry into Material Definitive Agreement. |
On July 23, 2019, GOBP Holdings, Inc. (the “Borrower”), as borrower, and Globe Intermediate Corp. (“Holdings”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Incremental Agreement (the “Incremental Agreement”) with certain of the Borrower’s subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the other parties party thereto. The Incremental Agreement amended the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as October 22, 2018 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders party thereto from time to time, the Administrative Agent and other parties thereto (as amended by the Incremental Agreement, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).
The Incremental Agreement (i) refinanced the term loans under the Existing Credit Agreement with a replacement $475,187,500 senior secured term loan credit facility having an applicable margin of 3.50% or 3.25% for eurodollar loans and 2.50% or 2.25% for base rate loans, in each case depending on the public corporate family rating of the Borrower, and a maturity consistent with the term loans so refinanced (i.e., maturing October 22, 2025) and (ii) made certain other corresponding technical changes and updates to the Existing Credit Agreement.
Other than as described above, the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement continue to have the same terms as provided under the Existing Credit Agreement. Additionally, the parties to the Amended Credit Agreement continue to have the same obligations set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement.
