Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility
2023 Activity
On February 1, 2023, the Company used proceeds from the incremental term facility, as described below, to finance in part the Liquibox acquisition. We incurred $11.0 million of lender and third-party fees included in carrying amounts of outstanding debt. See Note 5, "Acquisitions," for further details related to the Liquibox acquisition.
2022 Activity
On December 8, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment and incremental assumption agreement ("the Amendment”) further amending its existing senior secured credit facility (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Amendment provides for a new incremental term facility in an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million, to be used, in part, to finance the Company’s acquisition of Liquibox. See Note 5, "Acquisitions," for further details related to the Liquibox acquisition.
On March 25, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto. The changes include (i) the refinancing of the term loan A facilities and revolving credit facilities with a new U.S. dollar term loan A facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $475.0 million, a new pounds sterling term loan A facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately £27.2 million, and revolving credit facilities of $1.0 billion (including revolving facilities available in U.S. dollars, euros, pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Japanese yen, New Zealand dollars and Mexican pesos), (ii) the conversion of the facilities rate from a LIBOR-based rate to a SOFR-based rate, (iii) improved pricing terms which will range from 100 to 175 basis points in the case of SOFR loans, subject to the achievement of certain leverage tests, (iv) the extension of the final maturity of the term loan A facilities and revolving credit commitment to March 25, 2027, (v) the release of all non-U.S. collateral previously pledged by the Company's subsidiaries and the release of all existing guarantees for non-U.S., non-borrower Company subsidiaries, (vi) the adjustment of certain covenants to provide flexibility to incur additional indebtedness and take other actions and (vii) other amendments.
As a result of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we recognized a $0.7 million loss on debt redemption and refinancing activities in Other expense, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the first quarter of 2022. This amount includes $0.4 million of accelerated amortization of original issuance discount related to the term loan A and lender and non-lender fees related to the entire credit facility. Also included in the loss on debt redemption and refinancing activities was $0.3 million of non-lender fees incurred in connection with the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. In addition, we incurred $1.2 million of lender and third-party fees that are included in the carrying amounts of the outstanding debt under
the credit facility. We also capitalized $3.0 million of fees that are included in Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amortization expense related to original issuance discount and lender and non-lender fees is calculated using the effective interest rate method over the lives of the respective debt instruments.
Total amortization expense related to the senior secured credit facility was $4.0 million, $3.5 million and $1.3 million, included within Interest expense, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
