| Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On August 1, 2025, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s
(the “Corporation”) subsidiary, Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC (the “Company” or, the “Issuer”) borrowed
$2.1 billion of new seven-year term B loans (the “New Term Loan”) pursuant to an amendment to the Company’s existing
term loan credit facility and completed the previously announced offering of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior
secured notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). The Issuer also entered into the ABL Amendment (as defined herein). The Issuer used
the net proceeds of the New Term Loan and the Notes to refinance its existing term B loans in full, to repay outstanding amounts borrowed
under its ABL facility in full and to pay related fees, premiums and expenses.
Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement
As previously disclosed, on November 14, 2023,
the Company entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Existing Term Loan Lenders”)
pursuant to which the Existing Term Loan Lenders extended a term loan (the “Existing Term Loan”) to the Company. The aggregate
principal amount of the Existing Term Loan outstanding on August 1, 2025 was approximately $2.26 billion.
On August 1, 2025, the Company, entered into an
amendment to the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”; the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement,
as amended by the Term Loan Amendment, the “Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Term Loan Amendment, the
Company obtained the New Term Loan in the aggregate initial principal amount of $2.1 billion.
The New Term Loan is borrowed by the Company and
is guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company that guaranteed the Existing Term Loans (together with the Company,
the “Loan Parties”).
The New Term Loan has a maturity date of August
1, 2032 and amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum of the original principal amount thereof,
with the remaining balance due at final maturity. Interest is payable on the New Term Loans at a rate equal to the term SOFR benchmark
rate or the base rate, plus an applicable margin, in each case, subject to a term SOFR benchmark rate floor of 0.50% or a base rate floor
of 1.00%, as applicable. The applicable margin for the New Term Loans is 3.50% per annum for term SOFR benchmark rate loans and 2.50%
per annum for base rate loans.
In addition to extending the maturity date and
reducing the applicable margin, in each case, with respect to the Company’s term debt, the Term Loan Amendment modifies the Existing
Term Loan Credit Agreement, primarily to provide additional flexibility to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, including without
limitation, with respect to representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and incremental and equivalent term loan
facilities.
The Loan Parties’ obligations under the
Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement are secured, subject to customary permitted liens and other agreed upon exceptions, by a perfected
security interest in (i) all tangible and intangible assets of the Loan Parties, except for certain excluded assets, and (ii) all of the
equity interests of the subsidiaries of the Loan Parties held by the Loan Parties (except for certain excluded subsidiaries and excluded
assets and limited, in the case of the voting equity interests of certain foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries that
hold no assets other than equity interests of foreign subsidiaries, to 65% of the voting equity interests of such subsidiaries). The liens
securing the New Term Loans will be (x) pari passu in priority with the security interest securing the indebtedness under the Indenture
(as defined herein), (y) senior in priority to the security interest securing indebtedness under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement
(as defined herein) to the extent of the Fixed Asset Collateral (as defined in the Indenture) and (z) junior in priority to the security
interest securing indebtedness under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement to the extent of the ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in
the Indenture).
The foregoing description of the Term Loan Amendment
does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Term Loan Amendment,
a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Secured Notes Offering
The Notes were issued at an issue price of 100.000% of their principal
amount pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2025 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors (the
“Guarantors”) party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee and collateral agent. The Notes mature on
August 1, 2032 and bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per year. Interest on the Notes is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year,
beginning on February 1, 2026.
The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior
to August 1, 2028 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on
the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus an applicable “make whole” premium described in the Indenture.
Thereafter, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. In addition, at
any time on or prior to August 1, 2028, up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds
of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.875% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
not including, the applicable redemption date provided that at least 50% of aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding.
The Issuer may also redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes during any 12-month period prior to August 1, 2028
at a redemption price of 103.0% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
not including, the applicable redemption date. If certain changes of control of the Corporation or the Issuer occur, holders of the Notes
will have the right to require the issuer to offer to repurchase their Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally,
on a senior secured basis by each of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that guarantees indebtedness under the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The guarantees are subject to release under specified circumstances, including certain circumstances in which such guarantees may be automatically
released without the consent of the holders of the Notes.
The Notes and the related guarantees are the Issuer’s and the
Guarantors’ senior secured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the
Issuer and the Guarantors and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness of the Issuer and the Guarantors. The
liens securing the Notes and the guarantees will be (x) pari passu in priority with the security interest securing the New Term
Loans, (y) senior in priority to the security interest securing indebtedness under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement to the extent
of the Collateral (as defined in the Indenture, other than the ABL Priority Collateral) and (z) junior in priority to the security interest
securing indebtedness under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement to the extent of the ABL Priority Collateral. In addition, the Notes
and the guarantees will be (x) effectively senior to the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ respective existing and future indebtedness
that is unsecured or that is secured by junior liens, in each case to the extent of the value of the Collateral, (y) structurally subordinated
to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any non-guarantor subsidiaries and (z) effectively junior to any of the
Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s debt that is secured by assets that are not Collateral, to the extent of the value of such assets.
The Notes and the related guarantees will be secured on a first-priority
basis by liens on the Fixed Asset Collateral, which consists of substantially all of the assets (other than ABL Priority Collateral) that
secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the New Term Loans on a pari passu basis, and on a second-priority
basis by liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, which generally includes the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ cash, inventory and
accounts receivable and related assets.
The Indenture contains customary high yield covenants limiting the
ability of the Issuer to: incur additional debt; pay dividends and make other restricted payments; incur liens on assets; enter into certain
transactions with affiliates; merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets; sell certain assets, including capital
stock of subsidiaries; and allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other
payments to the Issuer. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.
The Indenture also contains customary events of default.
The foregoing summary of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
ABL Amendment
As previously disclosed, the Company is a party
to a Revolving Credit Agreement, dated June 2, 2022, and as amended on November 14, 2023 (the “Existing Revolving Credit Agreement”)
by and among the Company, each of the guarantors party thereto, Truist Bank, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto
(the “ABL Lenders”).
On August 1, 2025, the Company entered into an
amendment to the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement (the “ABL Amendment”; the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended
by the ABL Amendment, the “Amended Revolving Credit Agreement”). The ABL Amendment extends the maturity of the Existing Revolving
Credit Agreement to August 1, 2030 and contains modifications to certain provisions of the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement including,
without limitation, the representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement,
to incorporate most of the modifications that were made to the corresponding provisions in the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement. The
aggregate revolving commitments of the ABL Lenders under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement continue to be $600,000,000.
Interest is payable on loans thereunder at a rate
equal to the term SOFR benchmark rate or the base rate, plus an applicable margin, in each case, subject to a term SOFR benchmark rate
floor of 0.00% or a base rate floor of 1.00%, as applicable. The applicable margin for such loans is between 1.25% per annum and 1.50%
per annum for term SOFR benchmark rate loans and 0.25% per annum and 0.50% per annum for base rate loans, in each case based on historical
utilization.
The foregoing description of the ABL Amendment
does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the ABL Amendment,
a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
