Silgan Announces Completion of Amendment to Senior Secured Credit Facility

Silgan Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:SLGN), a leading supplier of sustainable rigid packaging for consumer goods products, announced today that it completed an amendment to its existing senior secured credit facility which extends maturity dates by more than 3 years, increases the Company’s revolving loan facility from $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion and provides $1.0 billion in new term loans to refinance outstanding term and revolving loans used to fund the three recent acquisitions completed in 2021 and the acquisition of the dispensing operations of the Albéa Group in 2020. The amendment also provides the Company with additional flexibility with regard to its strategic initiatives.

“We are pleased to announce an amendment to our senior secured credit facility, capitalizing on favorable credit markets,” said Bob Lewis, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “The amendment extends maturities, refinances existing acquisition debt, increases our revolving loan facility and provides additional flexibility, leaving us well positioned to continue to pursue our strategic initiatives,” concluded Mr. Lewis.

The amendment extends the maturity date for term loans under the senior secured credit facility until November 9, 2027, and the maturity date for the revolving loan facility under the senior secured credit facility until November 9, 2026. The Company may use the $1.5 billion revolving loan facility under its senior secured credit facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, stock repurchases and refinancings of other debt. The Company’s senior secured credit facility also provides it with an incremental uncommitted multicurrency loan facility for an additional US $1.25 billion, which may be increased as provided in the senior secured credit facility and may be used to finance acquisitions and for other permitted purposes. The amendment also provides the Company with greater flexibility to, among other things, make further acquisitions, incur additional debt and engage in other corporate transactions.

Under the amendment, term loans and revolving loans maintained as Eurocurrency Rate, EURIBOR Rate or CDOR Rate loans will initially have a margin of 1.50% and term loans and revolving loans maintained as base rate or prime rate loans will initially have a margin of 0.50%, all consistent with the Company’s senior secured credit facility prior to the amendment. The margins for term loans and revolving loans are subject to adjustment quarterly based upon the Company’s leverage ratio beginning on April 1, 2022.

The amendment to the senior secured credit facility will not have any impact on the Company’s full year 2021 earnings estimate.
