Graphic Packaging Holding Company amended its Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America and other lenders. The change temporarily relaxes the maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio covenant to 5.00 to 1.00 for quarters through December 31, 2026 and to 4.75 to 1.00 for quarters through June 30, 2027, before returning to 4.25 to 1.00 thereafter.
During this period, the amendment adds a higher pricing tier when leverage is at or above 4.75 to 1.00, caps share repurchases at $65 million per year, and tightens limits on acquisitions and investments in non‑guarantor subsidiaries. The company sought this flexibility in part because aggressive inventory reduction is depressing EBITDA and raising the leverage ratio.
