Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 26, 2019, Sealed Air Corporation ("Sealed Air" or the "Company"),
certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of Sealed Air (the "Guarantors"), and
U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), entered into an
Indenture dated as of November 26, 2019 (the "Indenture"), pursuant to which
Sealed Air issued $425 million aggregate principal amount of 4.000% senior notes
due 2027 (the "Notes"). The Notes will mature on December 1, 2027. Interest is
payable on December 1 and June 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 2020.
Prior to the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date of
the Notes (the "Par Call Date"), Sealed Air may redeem the Notes, in whole or in
part, at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of
such Notes or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest on such Notes (assuming for this purpose that
interest accrued to the Par Call Date is scheduled to be paid on the Par Call
Date) from the redemption date to the Par Call Date discounted to the redemption
date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Indenture) plus 50 basis points,
plus in either (i) or (ii), any interest accrued but not paid to the date of
redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).
At any time on or after the Par Call Date, Sealed Air may redeem the Notes, in
whole or in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof,
plus any interest accrued but not paid to, but not including, the date of
redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).
If Sealed Air experiences a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in
the Indenture), holders of the Notes have the right to require Sealed Air to
repurchase their Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase
(subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).
The Indenture limits the ability of Sealed Air and, in certain cases, its
Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to, among other things,
(i) create liens on certain assets to secure indebtedness; (ii) engage in
certain sale and leaseback transactions; and (iii) merge or consolidate or
transfer and sell substantially all of their assets.
The Indenture provides that events of default with respect to the Notes include:
(i) failure to make the payment of any interest on any Note when the same
becomes due, with such failure continuing for a period of 30 days; (ii) failure
to make the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, any Note when
the same becomes due; (iii) failure to perform or comply with certain covenants
or agreements in the Notes, the Indenture or related documents (subject to
applicable time periods provided for compliance or cure); (iv) failure to pay
when due (subject to any applicable grace period) the principal of, or
acceleration of, any Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) for money
borrowed by Sealed Air or any Restricted Subsidiary having an aggregate
principal amount of at least $75.0 million and such default shall not have been
received or such Indebtedness shall not have been discharged within 10 days; and
(v) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting Sealed
Air or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary (as defined in
the Indenture).
If an event of default with respect to the Notes (other than an event of default
relating to certain bankruptcy or insolvency matters) shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee or the registered holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare to be immediately due
and payable the principal amount of all of such outstanding Notes, plus accrued
but unpaid interest to the date of acceleration. In case an event of default
relating to certain bankruptcy or insolvency matters occurs, such amount with
respect to all of the Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the holders of the Notes.
The Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the
description of the material terms of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety
by reference to such exhibit, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
