Dine Brands Global, Inc. Announces Intention to Refinance Its
Class A-2-I Senior Secured Notes Through a Securitization
GLENDALE, Calif., March 27, 2023 – Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN) (“Dine Brands” or the “Corporation”), the parent company of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar®, IHOP® restaurants and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop®, today announced its intention to refinance its Series 2019-1 Class A-2-I, Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes (the “2019-1 Refinancing Notes”). The Series 2019-1 Class A-2-II, Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes and the Series 2022-1 Class A-1, Variable Funding Senior Notes are not proposed to be refinanced as this time.
As of March 24, 2023, the principal balance of the Series 2019-1 Refinancing Notes was approximately $585 million. As of December 31, 2022, there was $594 million outstanding under the Series 2019-1 Class A-2-II, Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes. As of December 31, 2022, there was $100 million outstanding under the Series 2022-1 Class A-1, Variable Funding Senior Notes, and an additional $3.4 million was pledged against the Series 2022-1 Class A-1, Variable Funding Senior Notes for outstanding letters of credit.
Dine Brands intends to replace the 2019-1 Refinancing Notes with a new securitized financing facility, expected to be comprised of between $400 million and $500 million of Senior Term Notes (the “New Notes”). The net proceeds of the sale of the New Notes, and the use of cash on hand and Variable Funding Senior Notes, would be used to repay any outstanding amounts under the 2019-1 Refinancing Notes in full, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the New Notes and to the extent any net proceeds remain, for general corporate purposes.
There can be no assurance regarding the timing of a refinancing transaction, the interest rate at which the 2019-1 Refinancing Notes would be refinanced, or that a refinancing transaction will be completed.
