On July 25, 2022, Post Holdings, Inc.

The Joinder Agreement provided for an incremental term loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) of $450.0 million under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2020 (as previously amended and as amended by the Joinder Agreement, the “Credit Agreement”). The Funding Incremental Term Loan Lenders are Barclays Bank PLC, Citicorp North America, Inc., Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, Chase Lincoln First Commercial Corporation and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A.
Pursuant to the Joinder Agreement, the Company borrowed $450.0 million as the Incremental Term Loan on July 25, 2022. Interest on the Incremental Term Loan accrues at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.50% per annum, and the maturity date for the Incremental Term Loan is September 23, 2022. The Joinder Agreement permits the Company to repay the Incremental Term Loan, in whole or in part, in cash or, with the prior written consent of the Funding Incremental Term Loan Lenders, with an alternative form of consideration in lieu of cash.
The foregoing summary of the Joinder Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Joinder Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On July 26, 2022, the Company utilized the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan to repurchase its Notes (as defined below) that were validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer (as defined below).
