Interest on any borrowings was at LIBOR plus 100 basis points (rate under the terms of the agreement was 3.55% at August 31, 2022). Financial covenants included maintaining specified levels of tangible net worth, debt service coverage, and funded debt to EBITDA, each of which the Company was in compliance with at August 31, 2022. This facility was replaced by the five-year secured term loan facility and five-year
secured
 
revolving facility described below.
On June 30, 2022, Garden Spin
C
o entered into a credit agreement consisting of a five-year senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $650.0 million and a five-year senior secured revolving facility in the amount of $150.0 million (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”), which became available in connection with the merger and related transactions. The loan facility was funded to Garden Spinco on August 31, 2022, and upon the effectiveness of the merger on September 1, 2022, became Neogen’s obligation. Financial covenants include maintaining specified levels of funded debt to EBITDA, and debt service coverage. Pricing for the loan is term SOFR plus 235 basis points. The Credit Facilities, together with the Notes below, when incurred, represent the financing incurred in connection with the merger
 
of the 3M Food Safety business with Neogen.
In July 2022, Garden SpinCo closed on an offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) in a private placement at par.
The Notes were initially issued by Garden SpinCo to 3M and were transferred and delivered by 3M to the selling securityholder in the offering, in satisfaction of certain of 3M’s existing debt. Garden SpinCo did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Notes by the selling securityholder. Prior to the distribution of the shares of Garden SpinCo’s common stock to 3M stockholders, the Notes were guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by 3M. Upon consummation of such distribution, 3M was released from all obligations under its guarantee. Upon the effectiveness of the merger on September 1, 2022, the Notes became guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Neogen and certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of Neogen.
