EVANSVILLE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2013--
Berry Plastics Group, Inc. (NYSE: BERY) announced today that its
subsidiary, Berry Plastics Corporation (“Berry”), has determined that it
intends to obtain commitments for $1.4 billion of first lien senior
secured term loans (rather than $1.0 billion, as previously announced),
to be structured as an incremental facility under Berry’s existing term
loan credit agreement (such loans, the “New Loans”). Berry intends to
use the net proceeds from the borrowing of the New Loans to redeem all
of its outstanding 8 ¼% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2015,
Second Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2014, First
Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2015 and 10¼% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “Redemption”). Berry is in discussion
with lenders regarding the New Loans; however, there can be no assurance
that Berry will obtain the commitments in the time frame or on the terms
it expects, or at all or that the Redemption will occur. The Redemption
will be made, if at all, pursuant to the redemption terms and notice
provisions of the applicable indentures.
