Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 16, 2009, Graphic Packaging International, Inc. ("GPI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Graphic Packaging Holding Company, completed the issuance and sale of $245 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.50% senior notes due 2017 (the "Senior Notes") in a previously announced private offering in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Indenture
The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of June 16, 2009, by and among GPI, the guarantors listed therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. The Indenture provides that interest on the Senior Notes is payable semiannually in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and the Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2017.
Under the Indenture, GPI has the right to redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 15, 2013 initially at 104.750% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, declining ratably to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, on or after June 15, 2015. Pursuant to the Indenture, at any time prior to June 15, 2013, GPI also has the right to redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus a make-whole premium as provided in the Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, prior to June 15, 2012, GPI has the right to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Notes with the proceeds from sales of certain kinds of capital stock at a redemption price equal to 109.500% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. GPI may make such redemption only if, after any such redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes originally issued under the Indenture (including any additional Senior Notes) remains outstanding.
The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit GPI's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, make certain dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into transactions with GPI's affiliates. Such covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture also contains certain customary events of default, including failure to make payments in respect of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, failure to make payments of interest on the Senior Notes when due and payable, failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.
An event of default under the Indenture will allow the Trustee or the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes to declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all Senior Notes due and payable, or in the case of events of default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of GPI, such principal and accrued interest on all Senior Notes will become immediately due and payable without action from the trustee or any holder
