| (1) | Prior to the First Call Date, each of the Notes (other than the 3.500% 2028 Secured Notes) are redeemable at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The 3.500% 2028 Secured Notes are redeemable on or after March 1, 2028 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium together with accrued and unpaid interest. |
| (2) | For the 12 month period from and after the First Call Date, each of the Notes (other than the 3.500% 2028 Secured Notes) are redeemable at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus 50% of the original coupon of the applicable Notes. For the 12 month period from and after the first anniversary of the First Call Date, the redemption price of the Notes is reduced to 100% of the principal amount plus 25% of the original coupon. Thereafter, the Notes are redeemable at par. |
| (3) | The 3.500% 2028 Secured Notes and the 6.750% 2031 Secured Notes are collectively referred to as the “Secured Notes”. Collateral securing the 6.750% 2031 Secured Notes has been released pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing such notes. As a result, the 6.750% 2031 Secured Notes are no longer secured. |
| (4) | The 4.000% 2028 Unsecured Notes, the 4.375% 2029 Unsecured Notes and the 6.625% 2032 Unsecured Notes are collectively referred to as the “Unsecured Notes”. |
Ranking
The Unsecured Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated debt (if any). The Unsecured Notes are effectively subordinated to any of our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The Secured Notes are our senior secured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior secured debt and senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated debt (if any). The Secured Notes are effectively senior to any of our and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The guarantees of the Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of our subsidiary guarantors’ future subordinated debt (if any). In addition, the Unsecured Notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreements but do not guarantee the Unsecured Notes.
Covenants
The Unsecured Notes and the Secured Notes have been issued pursuant to separate indentures entered into between GFL and the note trustee (collectively, the “Indentures”). The Indentures entered into in respect of the Notes (other than in respect of the 3.500% 2028 Secured Notes) contain customary covenants, and restrictions on the activities of GFL, and its restricted subsidiaries and events of default for non-investment grade companies on the activities of GFL and its restricted subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness; dividends or distributions in respect of capital stock or certain other restricted payments or investments; entering into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; the sale or disposal of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; transactions with affiliates; the incurrence of liens; and mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of GFL’s assets. The Indenture entered into in respect of the 3.500% 2028 Secured Notes (the “2028 Secured Indenture”) contains events of default, covenants, and restrictions on the activities of GFL and its restricted subsidiaries that are substantially similar to the other Indentures as such limitations relate to the incurrence of liens, the sale or disposal of assets and mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of GFL’s assets. The 2028 Secured Indenture does not restrict the Company from incurring additional indebtedness or making restricted payments. As at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under the Indentures governing the Notes.
Security
Our Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our and each guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets and certain real property (subject to certain customary exceptions and exclusions) and a first priority pledge of all the capital stock of each direct, wholly-owned material restricted subsidiary directly held by GFL or any guarantor of the Secured Notes (limited to 65% of the capital stock held by GFL or any guarantors of the Secured Notes in any direct subsidiary thereof not organized under the laws of Canada or the United States (or any province or state thereof)) and will be secured by first ranking mortgages or charges by way of debentures.
The Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by our material subsidiaries, together with other entities, guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility.
