Berry Global Announces Consideration for Tender Offer for Certain Outstanding 4.875% First Priority Senior Secured Notes Due 2026

Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE: BERY) (“Berry”), a leading supplier of packaging solutions for consumer goods and industrial products, announced today the consideration payable as set forth in the table below in respect of the previously announced tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) by Berry Global, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Company”) to purchase for cash its outstanding 4.875% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).

The consideration of $987.19 per $1,000 principal amount (the “Early Tender Consideration”) for Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time (as defined below) and are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase dated May 13, 2024 (as amended, the “Offer to Purchase”) by reference to the fixed spread for the Notes specified in the table below, plus the yield to maturity based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table below, calculated as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, today, and is inclusive of the early tender premium (the “Early Tender Premium”) set forth in the table below.

The Early Tender Consideration for Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time (as defined below) and accepted for purchase is calculated using the Fixed Spread (as defined below) and is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium.

Only holders of Notes who validly tendered their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 24, 2024 (the “Early Tender Time”) are eligible to receive the Early Tender Consideration. In addition to the Early Tender Consideration, holders whose Notes are purchased in the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.

Since the principal amount of Notes tendered as of the Early Tender Time exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, the Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be subject to proration as described in the section “The Terms of the Tender Offer—Maximum Tender Amount; Priority of Acceptance; Proration” of the Offer to Purchase using a proration rate of approximately 53.48%. The Company does not anticipate accepting for purchase any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time.

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to pay for Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time, and that are accepted for purchase, on a date following the Early Tender Time and prior to the Expiration Time (the “Early Settlement Date”). The Company anticipates that the Early Settlement Date will be May 29, 2024, subject to all conditions, including a financing condition, to the Tender Offer having been satisfied or waived by the Company.

All other terms and conditions of the previously announced Tender Offer, including without limitation the withdrawal deadline of May 24, 2024, remain unchanged and are as set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

Dealer Manager and Depositary and Information Agent

The Company has appointed Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”) for the Tender Offer. The Company has retained Global Bondholder Services Corporation as the depositary and information agent for the Tender Offer. For additional information regarding the terms of the Tender Offer, please contact: Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC at (800) 828-3182 (toll-free) or (212) 357-1452 (collect). Requests for documents and questions regarding the tendering of securities may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation by telephone at (212) 430-3774 (for banks and brokers only), (855) 654‑2015 (toll-free) or 001‑212‑430-3774 (international), by email at contact@gbsc-usa.com or at www.gbsc-usa.com/berry/ or to the Dealer Manager at its telephone numbers.

This press release shall not constitute, or form part of, an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy or an offer to purchase or sell any securities. The Tender Offer is being made only pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and only in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law.

From time to time after completion of the Tender Offer, the Company or its affiliates may purchase additional Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender or exchange offers or other methods, or the Company may redeem Notes pursuant to their terms. Any future purchases may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to holders of the Notes than the terms of the Tender Offer.
