Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The information set forth under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation
On May 14, 2015, Berry Plastics Group, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, Berry Plastics Corporation ( “BPC”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amendment No. 4 to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”), which amended the existing Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Amendment, dated as of April 3, 2007 (as previously amended, the “Existing Revolving Credit Agreement,” and as amended by Amendment No. 4, the “Amended Revolving Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A. and certain other financial institutions, relating to BPC’s existing $650 million secured, revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). Among other things, Amendment No. 4 amended the Existing Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility to May 14, 2020 (subject to certain conditions) and to reduce interest margins and certain commitment fees.
Under the terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, the applicable interest rate margin on borrowings bearing interest at a prime-rate based rate is 0.50% until August 14, 2015, and ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% on and after such date. The applicable interest rate margin on borrowings bearing interest at a reserve-adjusted LIBOR-based rate is 1.50% until August 14, 2015, and ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% on or after such date. Adjustments in the applicable margins on and after August 14, 2015, are determined based on the quarterly average daily borrowing availability under the Revolving Facility. Commitment fees on the Revolving Facility from and after May 14, 2015, range from 0.25% to 0.325%, depending upon the quarterly average daily unused availability under the Revolving Facility.
