2022 Credit Agreement The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a senior secured credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The 2022 Credit Agreement provides for (a) an $800.0 million secured revolving credit facility, consisting of a $725.0 million multicurrency facility and a $75.0 million U.S. dollar facility, maturing on March 1, 2027, (b) a $1,100.0 million secured term loan A-1 facility with quarterly principal installments that commenced on July 31, 2022 and continue through January 31, 2027, with any outstanding principal balance of such term loan A-1 facility being due and payable on maturity on March 1, 2027, and (c) a $515.0 million secured term loan A-2 facility with quarterly principal installments that commenced on July 31, 2022 and continue through January 31, 2027, with any outstanding principal balance of such term loan A-2 being due and payable on maturity on March 1, 2027. Subject to the terms of the 2022 Credit Agreement, the Company has an option to borrow additional funds under the 2022 Credit Agreement with the agreement of the lenders. Interest is based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread adjustment or a base rate that resets periodically plus, in each case, a calculated margin amount that is based on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of April 30, 2023, $1,940.7 million was outstanding under the 2022 Credit Agreement. The current portion was $80.8 million, and the long-term portion was $1,859.9 million. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement was 5.38% for the six months ended April 30, 2023. The actual interest rate for borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement was 6.19% as of April 30, 2023. The deferred financing costs associated with the term loan portion of the 2022 Credit Agreement totaled $7.3 million as of April 30, 2023 and are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred financing costs associated with the revolving portion of the 2022 Credit Agreement totaled $4.0 million as of April 30, 2023 and are recorded within other long-term assets on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. 2023 Credit Agreement Subsequent to the quarter, on May 17, 2023, the Company and Greif Packing LLC (“Greif Packaging”) entered into a $300.0 million senior secured credit agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) with CoBank, ACB (“CoBank”), who acted as a lender and is acting as administrative agent of the 2023 Credit Agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement is permitted incremental equivalent debt under the terms of the 2022 Credit Agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for a $300.0 million secured term loan facility with quarterly principal installments commencing on July 31, 2023 and continuing through January 31, 2028, with any outstanding principal balance of such term loan being due and payable on maturity on May 17, 2028. The Company used the borrowing under the 2023 Credit Agreement to repay and refinance a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement. Interest accruing under the 2023 Credit Agreement is based on SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment or a base rate that resets periodically plus, in each case, a calculated margin amount that is based on the Company’s leverage ratio. United States Trade Accounts Receivable Credit Facility Greif Receivables Funding LLC (“Greif Funding”), Greif Packaging, and certain other U.S. subsidiaries of the Company are parties to an amended and restated U.S. Receivables Financing Facility Agreement (the “U.S. RFA”). On May 17, 2023, the maturity date of the U.S. RFA was extended to May 17, 2024. The U.S. RFA provides an accounts receivable financing facility of $300.0 million. As of April 30, 2023, there was $258.3 million outstanding under the U.S. RFA. Greif Funding is a direct subsidiary of Greif Packaging and is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, because Greif Funding is a separate and distinct legal entity from the Company, the assets of Greif Funding are not available to satisfy the liabilities and obligations of the Company, Greif Packaging or other subsidiaries of the Company, and the liabilities of Greif Funding are not the liabilities or obligations of the Company or its other subsidiaries. International Trade Accounts Receivable Credit Facility Cooperage Receivables Finance B.V. and Greif Services Belgium BV, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Greif, Inc., are parties to an amended and restated Nieuw Amsterdam Receivables Financing Agreement (the “European RFA”) with affiliates of a major international bank. On April 14, 2023, the maturity date of the European RFA was extended to April 23, 2024. The European RFA provides an accounts receivable financing facility of up to €100.0 million ($110.4 million as of April 30, 2023) secured by certain European accounts receivable. As of April 30, 2023, $95.0 million was outstanding on the European RFA.
