Note 10 – Related Party Transactions

We historically operated as part of PEI Group. In preparation for our IPO, PEI Group transferred its interest in us to Packaging Finance Limited (“PFL”). PFL owns the majority of our outstanding common stock and owns the majority of the outstanding common stock of PEI Group. Transactions between us and PEI Group are described below.

Ongoing Related Party Transactions

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, revenues from products sold to PEI Group were $26 million and $50 million, respectively, compared to $24 million and $63 million in the comparable prior year periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, products purchased from PEI Group were $88 million and $162 million, respectively, compared to $78 million and $161 million in the comparable prior year periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, PEI Group charged us freight and warehousing costs of $15 million and $29 million, respectively, compared to $20 million and $46 million in the comparable prior year periods, which were included in cost of sales. The resulting related party receivables and payables are settled regularly with PEI Group in the normal course of business.

Furthermore, $36 million and $71 million of the dividends paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, were paid to PFL, compared to $23 million and $23 million in the comparable prior year periods.

Transactions Related to our Separation from PEI Group

On January 30, 2020, we repurchased all of the U.S. accounts receivable that we previously sold through PEI Group’s securitization facility for $264 million, $240 million of which was settled in cash and the remaining amount used to settle certain current related party receivables. The cash to purchase these receivables was provided by an increase in related party borrowings, which was subsequently settled as discussed below.

On January 30, 2020, our outstanding borrowings, net of deferred financing transaction costs and original issue discounts plus accrued interest incurred under the PEI Group Credit Agreement were reallocated to an entity within PEI Group and on February 4, 2020, we were fully and unconditionally released from the security and guarantee arrangements relating to PEI Group’s borrowings. This reallocation resulted in a payment to PEI Group of $8 million for accrued interest and an increase of $2,001 million in related party borrowings, which was subsequently settled as discussed below.

On February 4, 2020, we repaid $3,627 million of related party borrowings and $22 million of related party accrued interest owed to PEI Group and capitalized, as additional paid-in capital without the issuance of any additional shares, the remaining $831 million balance of the related party borrowings owed to PEI Group.

On February 4, 2020, we entered into a transition services agreement with a subsidiary of PEI Group, whereby PEI Group will continue to provide certain administrative services to us, including information technology services; accounting, treasury, financial reporting and transaction support; human resources; procurement; tax, legal and compliance related services; and other corporate services for up to 24 months. In addition, we entered into a transition services agreement with Rank Group Limited (an affiliate of PEI Group) whereby, upon our request, Rank Group Limited will provide certain administrative services to us, including financial reporting, consulting and compliance services, insurance procurement and human resources support, legal and corporate secretarial support, and related services for up to 24 months. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred $2 million and $4 million, respectively, related to transition services which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income compared to $2 million and $5 million in the comparable prior year periods.
