In connection with the consummation on January 18, 2013 of the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of certain subsidiaries of LINPAC Finance Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“LINPAC”) that comprise its Ropak Packaging division (“Ropak”), BWAY Holding Company (“BWAY Holding”) and certain of its subsidiaries, which previously entered into (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $470 million (the “Term Loan”), pursuant to a term loan credit agreement, dated as of November 5, 2012, by and among BWAY Holding, as lead borrower, BWAY Intermediate Company, Inc. (“BWAY Intermediate”), BWAY Corporation (the “Company”) and North America Packaging Corporation, as subsidiary borrowers, the lenders party thereto from time to time, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as documentation agent and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as joint lead arrangers and (ii) a $150 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, pursuant to a credit agreement, dated as of November 5, 2012, by and among BWAY Holding, as lead borrower, certain domestic subsidiaries signatories thereto, as subsidiary borrowers, BWAY Intermediate, the lenders party thereto from time to time, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as co-collateral agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as documentation agent and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as joint lead arrangers (the “ABL Facility” and together, with the Term Loan, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) entered into an incremental term loan commitment agreement to borrow an additional $261 million of term loans under the Term Loan and amended the ABL Facility to (a) increase the size of the facility to $200 million, (b) specify new advanced rates for Ropak assets until such time as the field work and appraisals for such assets are completed and (iii) revise certain of the eligibility criteria for the borrowing base to provide credit for a limited amount of inventory in the possession of one of our customers, even without an effective collateral access agreement, so long as we are not in a liquidity period. The net proceeds from the upsized portion of the Term Loan and $20 million of the ABL Facility were used to finance in part the consideration paid in connection with the Acquisition and to pay fees and expenses related to the Acquisition and the associated financings.
