Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On August 31, 2022, Newell Brands Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries, as subsidiary borrowers (the “Subsidiary Borrowers”), entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Revolving Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s existing revolving credit agreement, dated as of December 12, 2018, among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other agents and lenders party thereto.
The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility with a maturity date of August 31, 2027 and aggregate commitments of $1,500,000,000. The Company may from time to time request increases in the aggregate commitments to up to $2,000,000,000 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, and may also request extension of the maturity date of the facility (subject to lender approval) for additional one-year periods. Under the facility, the Company may borrow funds on a variety of interest rate terms. The facility provides for the issuance of up to $150,000,000 of letters of credit for the account of the Company, so long as there is a sufficient amount available for borrowing under the facility. Subject to the terms set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers may borrow, prepay and re-borrow amounts under the facility at any time prior to termination of the facility. The proceeds from any borrowings under the facility are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. The covenants set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement include certain affirmative and negative operational and financial covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur certain liens, make fundamental changes to its business or engage in transactions with affiliates; limitations on the amount of indebtedness that may be incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries; and a requirement that the Company maintain certain Interest Coverage and Total Indebtedness to Total Capital ratios, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the termination of the lenders’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Revolving Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revolving Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Some of the potential lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement (and their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, underwriting, lending, commercial banking, trust and other advisory services to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. These parties have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation from the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for such services.
