(“BellRing”) to the Company’s shareholders (the “distribution”). Immediately following the distribution, the Company retained 19,397,339 shares of the common stock of BellRing (the “Retained BellRing Shares”).
Also as previously announced, on July 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Joinder Agreement No. 2 (the “Joinder Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, the institutions constituting the Funding Incremental Term Loan Lenders (as described below), Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as sub-agent to the administrative agent. The Joinder Agreement provided for an incremental term loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) of $450 million under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2020 (as amended). The Funding Incremental Term Loan Lenders are Barclays Bank PLC, Citicorp North America, Inc., Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. Pursuant to the Joinder Agreement, the Company borrowed $450 million as the Incremental Term Loan on July 25, 2022.
On August 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Funding Incremental Term Loan Lenders. Under the Exchange Agreement, the Company intends to transfer 14,800,000 of the Retained BellRing Shares to the Funding Incremental Term Loan Lenders (or their respective designees) to repay and retire approximately $340 million in aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan, excluding any accrued interest, which will be paid with cash off of the Company’s balance sheet (such exchange, the “Debt-for-Equity Exchange”). Immediately after giving effect to the Debt-for-Equity Exchange, the Company will retain 4,597,339 shares of the common stock of BellRing.
The foregoing summary of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement, a copy of which the Company intends to file as an exhibit with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022, and is incorporated herein by reference.
