Credit Agreement
The Company is party to a credit agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, Westrock Beverage Solutions, LLC, as the borrower (the “Borrower”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, and swingline lender, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sustainability structuring agent, and each issuing bank and lender party thereto. The Credit Agreement includes (a) a senior secured first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (b) a senior secured first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”), and (c) incremental term loan commitments in the form of a senior secured delayed draw term loan credit facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility will mature on August 29, 2027. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and each of the Borrower’s domestic subsidiaries, which comprise our Beverage Solutions segment, and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility will bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, initially at an annual rate equal to (a) term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for loans with an interest period ofone month,0.15% for loans with an interest period ofthree months and 0.25% for loans with an interest period ofsix months, as applicable, (the “Adjusted Term SOFR”) or (b) the base rate (determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal in the United States as the prime rate in effect, (ii) the NYFRB Rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR for aone month interest period plus 1.00%, (the “Base Rate”)), in each case plus an applicable margin.
At September 30, 2025, we had $182.5 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, with a weighted average interest rate of 8.1%, and we had $2.0 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. At September 30, 2025, the interest rate applicable to our Term Loan Facility was 7.9% and the interest rate applicable to our Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility was 8.2%.
On February 15, 2024, the Borrower entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Third Amendment modified the existing covenant relief period (the “Covenant Relief Period”), which commenced on June 30, 2023 and will end on the earlier to occur of (i) April 1, 2026 and (ii) any date following June 30, 2024, on which the Borrower elects to terminate the Covenant Relief Period subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. During the Covenant Relief Period, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness and make investments, restricted payments and junior debt restricted payments will be more limited. The Third Amendment permits the Company to issue convertible notes, including the Convertible Notes (as defined below).
During the Covenant Relief Period, the applicable margin for any term SOFR rate loan will range from 3.00% to 4.00% and for any ABR loan will range from 2.00% to 3.00%, in each case depending on the secured net leverage ratio. After the Covenant Relief Period, the applicable margin for any term SOFR rate loan will range from 2.00% to 3.00% and for any ABR loan will range from 1.00% to 2.00%, in each case depending on the secured net leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement, as amended through the Third Amendment, required the Borrower to maintain compliance with (i) a secured net leverage ratio at levels ranging from 4.50:1.00 to 6.25:1.00 and stepping down to 4.50:1.00 by April 2026 (which has been further amended by the Fourth Amendment, as discussed below) and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of at least 1.50:1.00 on and prior to September 30, 2025 and at least 2.00:1.00 on December 31, 2025 and thereafter. The Credit Agreement, as amended through the Third Amendment, also included (i) a minimum liquidity covenant requiring the Borrower not to permit its liquidity, measured as of the last business day of each calendar month commencing March 29, 2024, to be less than $15.0 million and (ii) an anti-cash hoarding covenant, which shall be effective only during the Covenant Relief Period, requiring the Borrower to have no more than $20.0 million of unrestricted cash on the last day of each calendar month when revolving loans or letters of credit are outstanding or on the date of borrowing of a revolving loan.
On January 15, 2025, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement and Amendment No. 4 (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amendment expanded the syndicate to include member banks from the Farm Credit System and increased the amount of revolving facility commitments (the “Existing Revolving Facility Commitments”, and any loans thereunder, the “Existing Revolving Loans”) available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement by$25.0 million (the “Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments” and any loans thereunder, the “Incremental Revolving Loans”). The amount of revolving facility commitments available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, as amended, is $200.0 million. The Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments and the Incremental Revolving Loans are subject to the same interest rates, commitment fees, maturity dates and other terms as the Existing Revolving Facility Commitments and the Existing Revolving Loans.
The Fourth Amendment also modified the secured net leverage ratio that the Company must comply with during the Covenant Relief Period to increase the maximum secured net leverage ratio to (a)6.00 x for the test period ending June 30, 2025, (b)5.50 x for the test period ending September 30, 2025, and (c)5.25 x for the test period ending December 31, 2025. In addition, the minimum liquidity covenant will not apply after the Covenant Relief Period ends. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
We incurred a total of $1.4 million in financing fees in connection with the Fourth Amendment. The fees were allocated to the Revolving Credit Facility, are reported within other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized ratably over the remaining term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Term Loan Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility require quarterly principal payments totaling approximately $4.2 million (1.875% of the original principal balance), increasing to approximately $5.6 million (2.5% of the original principal balance) during the final year of the agreements.
Convertible Notes
On February 15, 2024, the Company sold and issued in a private placement $72.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”), of which $50.0 million was from related parties (See Note 20). The Convertible Notes are unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and accrue interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum.
The Convertible Notes are carried at amortized cost and are recorded in long-term debt, net and convertible notes payable – related party, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2025, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes was$71.7 million, of which $49.8 million was from related parties. We incurred a total of$0.5 million of financing fees in connection with the Convertible Notes, which were ratably allocated to the convertible notes payable and the convertible notes payable – related party, respectively, and are being amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the Convertible Notes utilizing the effective interest rate method.
Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, noteholders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option only in the following circumstances: (i) during the period commencing on August 15, 2024, and prior to the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding August 15, 2028, if the closing price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of any 30 consecutive trading days in the immediately preceding calendar quarter is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price; (ii) during the period commencing on August 15, 2028, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding February 15, 2029, at any time; and (iii) during the 35 trading days following the effective date of certain fundamental change transactions that occur prior to the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding August 15, 2028.
The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, at the Company’s election, cash, common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Shares”), or a combination of cash and Common Shares. The Company may not issue more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares immediately prior to the issuance of the Convertible Notes in respect of the conversion of the Convertible Notes. The initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes is$12.84, which corresponds to an initial conversion rate of approximately 77.88 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. The conversion price and conversion rate are subject to customary adjustments.
