On February 20, 2023, the Company signed a debt financing commitment letter with Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. (“Angelo Gordon”), in which Angelo Gordon has committed to provide the Company with €250 million of senior secured term loans (the “Term Loans”), which the Company will use, in part, to refinance its €220.0 million term loan that matures in February 2024. The Term Loans will be borrowed by Glatfelter Luxembourg S.à r.l. and guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries located in the United States, Canada, Germany, England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta and Switzerland. The Term Loans will be secured on a first lien basis by the German, English & Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish, Luxembourg, Maltese and Swiss loan parties’ assets, and on a second lien basis by the United States and Canadian loan parties’ assets, in each case subject to customary exceptions and limitations.

The Term Loans will mature in March 2029 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 11.25%, of which the Company can elect to pay up to 5% in kind during the initial 24 months after closing, and will not be subject to any amortization requirements. The Term Loans will be subject to a make-whole premium for the initial 18 months after closing, will be callable at a 5.5% premium in months 19 to 36, a 2.75% premium in months 37 to 48, and at par thereafter.

The credit agreement for the Term Loans is expected to contain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default based on the respective provisions in the Existing Revolving Credit Facility, subject to customary exceptions and limitations for this type of financing.
