Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 28, 2020, Graphic Packaging International, LLC (the “Company”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Graphic Packaging International Partners, LLC (“Parent”) and the primary operating subsidiary of Graphic Packaging Holding Company, completed a previously announced private offering of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.500% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were sold in a private placement in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a purchase agreement between the Company, Parent, Field Container Queretaro (USA), L.L.C. (the “Subsidiary Guarantor”) and BofA Securities, Inc., as representative of the initial purchasers. The Senior Notes will be guaranteed by Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantor, as well as by the Company’s future material domestic subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under its senior credit facilities and its existing senior notes due 2021, 2022, 2024, 2027 and 2028.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to a supplemental indenture (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of August 28, 2020, by and among the Company, the Parent, the guarantors listed therein and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to the Indenture, dated as of November 6, 2014, among Graphic Packaging International, Inc., the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture” and together with the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Indenture provides that interest on the Senior Notes will accrue from August 28, 2020 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2021, and the Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2029.

At any time prior to September 1, 2028, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus a make-whole premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, on or prior to September 1, 2023, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. At any time on or after September 1, 2028, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to create liens and merge or consolidate. Such covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture also contains certain customary events of default, including failure to make payments in respect of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, failure to make payments of interest on the Senior Notes when due and payable, failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.
