On April 17, 2023, Applebee’s Funding LLC and IHOP Funding LLC (the “Co-Issuers”), each a special purpose, wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, issued the Series 2023-1 7.824% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 (the “New Notes”) in an initial aggregate principal amount of $500 million. The New Notes were issued pursuant to an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Payment of principal and interest is required to be made on the New Notes on a quarterly basis. The payment of principal on the New Notes may be suspended when the leverage ratio for the Corporation and its subsidiaries is less than or equal to 5.25x. The legal final maturity of the New Notes is in March 2053, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the New Notes will be repaid in June 2029.
The New Notes were issued in a securitization transaction pursuant to which substantially all of the domestic revenue- generating assets and domestic intellectual property held by the Co-Issuers and certain other special-purpose, wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company were pledged as collateral to secure the New Notes.
The Company used the net proceeds of the offering along with cash on hand to repay the entire outstanding balance of approximately $585 million of the Class A-2-I Notes and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the New Notes.
