During January 2024, the Company issued $800 million
aggregate principal amount of 5.650% first priority senior secured notes due 2034. The proceeds were used to prepay the 0.95% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due in February 2024 and a
portion of the existing term loan due in July 2026. As a result of the transaction, the Company also terminated its $500 million interest rate
swap due in June 2026 for proceeds of $4 million.
In February 2024, the Company announced plans for a spin-off and merger of its Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment (excluding Tapes) with Glatfelter
Corporation (“GLT”). Upon the completion of the transaction, shareholders of Berry will own approximately ninety percent of the new combined
company in addition to their continuing interest in Berry. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to Berry and its shareholders. The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions including, but not limited to, approval by GLT
shareholders, the effective filing of related registration statements, completion of a tax-free spin-off and receipt of certain required foreign anti-trust approvals.
