Berry Global Group, Inc. Announces Proposed Offering of First Priority Senior Secured Notes

Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE:BERY) (“Berry”) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Berry Global, Inc. (the “Issuer”), plans to issue €725,000,000 aggregate principal amount across two tranches of first priority senior secured notes due 2025 and senior secured notes due 2027 (collectively, the “Euro Notes”).

The net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, are intended to prepay certain existing term loans of the Issuer and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the refinancing of such term loans and the offering.

The Euro Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S. The Euro Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

Berry intends to apply to list the Euro Notes on the Official List of The International Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”). The listing application will be subject to approval by The International Stock Exchange Authority Limited. There is no assurance that the Euro Notes will be listed and admitted to trade on the Official List of the Exchange. Consummation of the offering is not contingent on making an application or obtaining such listing or admission to trading.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Euro Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
