Future interest rate adjustments are subject to a 2.0% total cap above the original 3.150% interest rate which would result in an interest rate not to exceed 5.150% based on certain rating events as specified in the Note’s Supplemental Indenture No. 3, dated as of June 19, 2020, among Perrigo Finance Unlimited Company, Perrigo Company plc, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.

Revolving Credit Agreements

There were no borrowings outstanding under the $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement (the “Revolver”) as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Term Loans

Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility

On April 20, 2022, we and our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Perrigo Investments, LLC, (the "Borrower") entered into the senior secured credit facilities, which consisted of (i) a $1.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), (ii) a $500.0 million five-year Term Loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility” and the Term A Loans thereunder, the "Term A Loans"), and (iii) a $1.1 billion seven-year Term Loan B facility (the “Term Loan B Facility” and the Term B Loans thereunder borrowed on April 20, 2022, the "2022 Term B Loans" and, together with the Revolver and Term Loan A Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), pursuant to a Term Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement").
On December 15, 2023, we and the Borrower, entered into Amendment No. 1, an Incremental Assumption Agreement (the "Amendment") to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment provides for a fungible add on to the 2022 Term B Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the "Incremental Term B Loans" and together with the 2022 Term B Loans, the “Term B Loans”). The terms of the Incremental Term B Loans, including pricing and maturity, are identical to the 2022 Term B Loans. The Term B Loans will mature on April 20, 2029. The net proceeds from the Incremental Term B Loans were used to settle the cash tender offer by Perrigo Finance Unlimited Company ("Perrigo Finance"), our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, for $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.900% Senior Notes due 2024 ("2024 Notes"). The tender offer was settled on December 15, 2023, and Perrigo Finance accepted for purchase $300.0 million of the 2024 Notes and paid approximately $295.1 million in aggregate cash consideration (excluding accrued interest).

In April 2022, in relation to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we deferred $32.5 million of financing fees and discount, which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2024, scheduled principal repayments of $13.0 million and $25.2 million were made on the Term Loan B Facility and Term Loan A Facility, respectively. On September 19, 2024 a principal prepayment of $391.0 million was made on the Term Loan B facility. The funds received as part of the 2032 Notes as discussed below were used for the principal prepayment. As a result of the redemption, we recognized an extinguishment loss of $5.1 million during the third quarter of 2024.

On December 15, 2024, we and the Borrower entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, which resulted in a repricing to lower the interest rate and increased the discount by $1.5 million.

Guarantees and Debt Covenants

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed, along with any hedging or cash management obligations entered into with a lender, by us, certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries organized in the United States, Ireland, Belgium and England and Wales (subject to certain exceptions) (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"). Additionally, the Borrower and the Guarantor Subsidiaries provide full and unconditional guarantees, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, of the 5.300% Notes due 2043 issued by the Company, and the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Company and the Borrower provide full and unconditional guarantees, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, of the 4.900% Notes due 2030, the 6.125% USD Notes due 2032, the 5.375% Euro Notes due 2032 and the 4.900% Notes due 2044 issued by Perrigo Finance.

The guarantees of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Company and the Borrower are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions. The guarantees of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Company and the Borrower rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of the Company, equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

We are subject to financial covenants in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The agreements contain financial covenants that require the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries to (a) not exceed a maximum first lien secured net leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter and (b) not fall below a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter, provided that such covenants apply only to the Revolver and the Term Loan A Facility. If we consummate certain qualifying acquisitions during the term of the loan, the maximum first lien secured net leverage ratio covenant would increase to 3.25 to 1.00 for such quarter and the three following fiscal quarters thereafter.

We are in compliance with all the covenants under our debt agreements as of December 31, 2024.
