Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. entered into a definitive agreement for a $127 million cash strategic investment from funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management into its Home and Personal Care (HPC) business.
The investment includes $67 million of convertible preferred equity with an 8.0% annual dividend, compounded quarterly, and a $60 million first lien term loan that is recourse only to the HPC business, bearing interest at either SOFR plus 5.50% or the base rate plus 4.50%.
