Material Changes and Corporate Actions
On February 7, 2025, following the receipt of requisite consents, the Company executed Supplemental Indentures for its three series of existing senior notes. The material changes include:
- Covenant Elimination: Substantially all restrictive covenants, certain default provisions, and other provisions in the indentures for the Primo 2028, Primo 2029, and BlueTriton Notes have been eliminated.
- Guarantee Release: The note guarantees of each guarantor for the Primo 2028 and Primo 2029 Notes have been released.
- Early Settlement: The Issuers elected to conduct an early settlement of the exchange offers, expected to occur on February 12, 2025. This involves exchanging existing notes for new series of senior notes and cash.
- Equity Conversion: Upon the operative date of the Supplemental Indentures, all Class B common stock held by an affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners, LLC will automatically convert into Class A common stock. Consequently, One Rock will no longer be subject to the 49% voting limitation.
