ITEM 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on April 20, 2022, Perrigo Company plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”), and Perrigo Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Perrigo Investments”), entered into a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Perrigo Investments, the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement”).
On March 20, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Perrigo Investments, the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and J. P. Morgan SE, as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and the other lenders party thereto. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity of the Revolving Facility (defined below), (ii) eliminate the credit spread adjustment applicable to loans under the Revolving Facility and (iii) amend such other provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement for the benefit of the Company. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility maturing on March 20, 2031 (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $972.4 million term loan B facility maturing on April 20, 2029 (the “Term Loan B Facility” and together with the Revolving Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The outstanding balance and maturity date of the Term Loan B Facility remains unchanged under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company used the proceeds from a drawdown on the Revolving Facility to prepay the Term A Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) in their entirety, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon and pay any associated transaction costs. The maturity of the Revolving Facility will become 91 days before the Term Loan B Facility’s final maturity or 91 days before the Company’s 4.900% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) mature if either remains outstanding on such date, unless (i) such obligations are extended or refinanced to a date that is at least 91 days after the Revolving Facility’s maturity date or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Term B Loans or the Notes, as applicable, is less than $200 million or $150 million, respectively.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are being incurred by Perrigo Investments and will continue to be guaranteed, along with any hedging or cash management obligations entered into with a lender, by the Company and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Perrigo Investments and the subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Loan Parties”) have also guaranteed the Company’s existing notes.
The Loan Parties’ obligations under the Amended and Restated 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) so long as certain notes of the Company have been paid off in full and other conditions have been satisfied, all of the equity interests of the subsidiaries of the Loan Parties held by the Loan Parties (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 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness and dividends and other distributions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company and its restricted subsidiaries not to (i) exceed a maximum secured net leverage ratio or (ii) fall below a cash interest coverage ratio.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature, including (subject in certain cases to grace periods and thresholds) non-payment of principal, non-payment of interest, fees or other amounts, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, payment cross-default to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy or insolvency events, failure by the collateral documents to create a valid and perfected security interest in any material portion of the collateral purported to be covered thereby, material judgment defaults and change of control as specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs, the maturity of amounts owed may be accelerated.
In the ordinary course of their business, the financial institutions party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and certain of their affiliates have in the past and/or may in the future engage in investment and commercial banking or other transactions of a financial nature with the Company or its affiliates, including the provision of certain advisory services and the making of loans to the Company and
its affiliates in the ordinary course of their business for which they will receive customary fees or expenses.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Senior Secured Credit Facilities does not propose to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
