Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 6, 2024, Berry Global Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Treasure Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Spinco”), entered into certain definitive agreements with Glatfelter Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“Glatfelter”), Treasure Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Glatfelter (“First Merger Sub”), and Treasure Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Glatfelter (“Second Merger Sub” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”). The definitive agreements provide for a series of transactions pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will transfer the business, operations and activities that constitute the majority of its Health, Hygiene and Specialties segment to include its global nonwovens and hygiene films business of the Company (the “(“HHNF Business”) to Spinco, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the definitive agreements (the “Separation”). In connection with the Separation, Spinco will assume certain debt of the HHNF Business and will make certain cash distributions to the Company. After the Separation, the Company will distribute to its stockholders 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Spinco (the “Spinco Common Stock”) held by the Company by way of either a pro rata dividend or, with Glatfelter’s consent, an exchange offer (the “Distribution”). After the Distribution, First Merger Sub will be merged with and into Spinco (the “First Merger”), with Spinco as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Glatfelter, immediately following which Spinco will be merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub as the surviving limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Glatfelter (collectively, the “Merger”). Following the completion of the First Merger, the holders of the shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) (as holders of Spinco Common Stock immediately following the Distribution) will own 90% of the outstanding capital stock of Glatfelter, and shareholders of Glatfelter will own 10% of the outstanding capital stock of Glatfelter, on a fully diluted basis. The transactions are expected to be tax-free to stockholders of the Company and shareholders of Glatfelter, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent that cash is paid to stockholders of the Company in lieu of fractional shares in the Distribution or the Merger. Prior to the closing, the Company will seek to obtain a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) that the transactions (including the Separation and the Distribution) will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

The definitive agreements entered into in connection with the transactions include (1) an RMT Transaction Agreement, dated February 6, 2024 (the “RMT Transaction Agreement”), by and among the Company, Spinco, Glatfelter and Merger Subs, (2) a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated February 6, 2024 (the “Separation Agreement”), by and among the Company, Spinco and Glatfelter, (3) an Employee Matters Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2024, by and among the Company, Spinco and Glatfelter, and (4) a Tax Matters Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2024, by and among the Company, Spinco and Glatfelter.

The Separation Agreement

The Separation Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions regarding the Separation of the HHNF Business from the Company. The Separation Agreement identifies and provides for the transfer of certain assets of the Company to Spinco and the assumption of certain liabilities of the Company by Spinco. The Separation Agreement further allocates other assets between Spinco and the Company and provides for various continuing relationships between the Company’s group of companies and Spinco’s group of companies.

The Separation Agreement also governs the rights and obligations of the Company and Spinco regarding the Distribution. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Distribution may be effected (i) by means of a pro rata dividend of Spinco Common Stock to the Company’s stockholders (the “Spin-Off”) or (ii) with Glatfelter’s consent, by way of an offer to exchange shares of Spinco Common Stock for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Exchange Offer”), followed by a pro rata, clean-up distribution to the Company’s stockholders of the unsubscribed shares of Spinco Common Stock held by the Company that were not exchanged in the Exchange Offer.

In connection with the Separation, Spinco will (1) assume debt of the HHNF Business, and (2) pay a cash dividend to the Company (the “Spinco Special Cash Payment”).

Consummation of the Distribution is subject to various conditions, including, among other things, (1) the substantial completion of the Separation and payment by Spinco to the Company of the Spinco Special Cash Payment, (2) the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions under the RMT Transaction Agreement, and (3) the delivery to the board of directors of the Company of a solvency opinion by an independent appraisal firm in respect of the solvency of Spinco and the solvency and surplus of the Company (such solvency opinion to be reasonably acceptable to the Company).

In addition to the foregoing, the Separation Agreement also contains numerous other provisions relating to certain ongoing relationships among the parties, including indemnification, sharing of financial information, treatment of nonpublic information, corporate records, assistance in litigation and dispute resolution.

The RMT Transaction Agreement

Pursuant to the RMT Transaction Agreement, immediately following the consummation of the Distribution, First Merger Sub will be merged with and into Spinco, with Spinco surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Glatfelter, immediately following which Spinco will be merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Glatfelter. On the closing date and prior to the effective time of the Merger, Glatfelter will amend and restate its articles of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split and to authorize additional shares of its common stock in order to ensure a sufficient number of shares are available for issuance to holders of the Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

As a result of the First Merger, each share of Spinco Common Stock then issued and outstanding (other than each share of Spinco Common Stock held by Spinco as treasury stock or by Spinco or its subsidiaries, which will be cancelled without consideration) will automatically be converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive a number of shares of Glatfelter common stock such that the aggregate number of shares of Glatfelter common stock issued to the holders of Company Common Stock as a result of the Merger represent 90% of the outstanding shares of Glatfelter common stock following the completion of the Merger. Glatfelter shareholders will continue to hold 10% of the outstanding shares of Glatfelter common stock following completion of the Merger.

The RMT Transaction Agreement also provides that, as of immediately following the effective time of the Merger, Glatfelter will set the size of its board of directors (the “Glatfelter Board”) at nine members, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer of Glatfelter as of the effective time of the Merger plus five additional directors designated by the Company’s board of directors, plus three directors designated by Glatfelter’s board of directors. In addition, the RMT Transaction Agreement provides that Curt Begle, the current President of the Company’s Health, Hygiene & Specialties Division, will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company.

Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (1) consummation of the Distribution; (2) approval of the required transactions by Glatfelter’s shareholders; (3) the listing of Glatfelter common stock issuable to holders of Spinco Common Stock on the NYSE; (4) receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including the expiration or early termination of the statutory waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and other required regulatory approvals; (5) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions; (6) the effectiveness of the registration statements to be filed by Glatfelter and Spinco with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the RMT Transaction Agreement; (7) the absence of any material adverse effect (as defined in the RMT Transaction Agreement) on either the HHNF Business or Glatfelter; (8) the receipt of a private letter ruling from the IRS to the effect that the Distribution and certain related transactions will qualify for tax-free treatment under the Code; and (9) the Company’s receipt of the Spinco Special Cash Payment in accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement.

The Company, Spinco, Glatfelter and Merger Subs each make certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, as applicable under the circumstances, in the RMT Transaction Agreement.

In addition, Glatfelter and the Company have agreed, among other things, that neither they nor any of their subsidiaries will (1) solicit alternative transactions or (2) enter into discussions concerning, or provide information or data in connection with, alternative transactions, except under limited circumstances described in the RMT Transaction Agreement. Glatfelter has agreed that it will be obligated to hold a meeting of its shareholders to vote on the transaction even if the board of directors of Glatfelter has made an RMT Partner Change of Recommendation (as defined in the RMT Transaction Agreement). However, in certain circumstances after the occurrence of a triggering event (as further described in the RMT Transaction Agreement), the Company or Glatfelter may terminate the RMT Transaction Agreement to enter into definitive agreements for a Spinco Superior Proposal or an RMT Partner Superior Proposal, respectively (each as defined in the RMT Transaction Agreement).

The RMT Transaction Agreement also contains covenants relating to obtaining financing for the various payments and issuances that Spinco will be making in connection with the transactions contemplated by the RMT Transaction Agreement and the Separation Agreement.

The RMT Transaction Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for the Company and Glatfelter, including, without limitation, a right for either party to terminate the RMT Transaction Agreement if the Merger is not consummated on or before the earlier of (1) August 6, 2025, and (2) 45 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act (the “Outside Date”). Upon the termination of the RMT Transaction Agreement under specified circumstances, Glatfelter will be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $10 million, or the Company will be required to pay Glatfelter a termination fee of $10 million. Such circumstances would be in connection with certain terminations related to or following an RMT Partner Superior Proposal, a Spinco Superior Proposal or an Intervening Event (each as defined in the RMT Transaction Agreement).

The RMT Transaction Agreement also provides the methodology by which certain expenses will be borne.

The Commitment Letter

On February 6, 2024, Spinco entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), by and among Spinco, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“WF”) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WF Securities”), pursuant to which (i) Citi and WF commit to provide to Spinco a seven year first priority, senior secured term loan credit facility in the principal amount of $1,585 million (the “Term Loan Facility”), and (ii) Citi and WF Securities commit to provide to Spinco a five (5) year first priority, senior secured revolving credit facility in the principal amount of $250 million (the “ABL Facility”). The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility will be used by Spinco on the closing date to repay certain existing indebtedness of Glatfelter, repay certain obligations of Spinco owing to certain subsidiaries of the Company, and to pay transaction fees and expenses related to the foregoing and the Merger. The proceeds of the ABL Facility will be used for Spinco’s general corporate purposes. The commitments under the Commitment Letter are subject to customary closing conditions.

The above descriptions of the RMT Transaction Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Commitment Letter have been included, to provide investors and securityholders with information regarding the terms of such agreements. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Glatfelter or Spinco, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The RMT Transaction Agreement and the Separation Agreement each contain representations and warranties that the Company and Spinco, on the one hand, and Glatfelter and Merger Subs on the other hand, made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contracts between the parties to such agreements and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of such agreements. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, such representations and warranties should not be relied upon as statements of factual information.

Berry and Glatfelter to Host Joint Investor Conference Call, Wednesday February 7, 2024 at 8:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time

EVANSVILLE, IN & CHARLOTTE, NC--(BUSINESS WIRE)—Feb. 7, 2024-- Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE:BERY) and Glatfelter Corporation (NYSE:GLT) announced today they have entered into definitive agreements for Berry to spin-off and merge the majority of its Health, Hygiene and Specialties segment to include its Global Nonwovens and Films business (“HHNF”) with Glatfelter, to create a leading, publicly-traded company in the specialty materials industry. The Boards of Directors of Berry and Glatfelter have unanimously approved the transaction.

The new combined company (“NewCo”) will become a global leader in the growing specialty materials industry, serving the world’s largest brand owners across global end markets with favorable long-term growth dynamics. HHNF brings an extensive portfolio of proprietary technologies, with a strong focus on healthcare, hygiene, and specialty end markets, while Glatfelter provides a broad range of innovation capabilities and sustainability solutions. Together, the combined company will offer a highly complementary product suite, including both polymer-based and fiber-based solutions, supported by strong innovation capabilities, with significant geographic diversification and a presence in all major markets.

“This announcement is the culmination of a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives to determine the value-maximizing path forward for Berry shareholders”, said Kevin Kwilinski, Berry’s Chief Executive Officer. “We believe these two businesses, in combination, can drive significant value for shareholders with complementary portfolios, positioning each for greater success. Following completion of the transaction, Berry will become a pure-play provider of innovative, sustainable global packaging solutions, which we believe will deliver even more predictable earnings growth for Berry shareholders. Additionally, we believe HHNF in combination with Glatfelter will thrive as an independent company that is positioned to drive long-term growth with its global brand-owner customers.”

"The uniting of our organizations creates a premier nonwovens supplier and a global leader in specialty materials, with the talent, technologies, scale, and footprint to deliver commercial and operational excellence, and a wide range of solutions for our customers. Our combined company is scaled to accelerate innovation and leverage our intellectual property over a large worldwide commercial platform and is well positioned to deliver substantial shareholder value," said Thomas Fahnemann, Glatfelter's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Berry to Enhance its Focus on Consumer Packaging Leadership

In September, Berry announced a review of strategic alternatives for its Health, Hygiene & Specialties (‘HH&S’) segment. Today's announcement is the culmination of a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives to determine the value-maximizing path forward for Berry shareholders. The remaining HH&S businesses, including Berry’s tapes business, will be retained by Berry.

The proposed transaction marks an important milestone in Berry’s transition to becoming a streamlined and focused provider of consumer packaging. Post-separation, Berry will continue to offer industry-leading products, solutions, and material science to help customers achieve their commercial and sustainability goals. Pro forma for the separation transaction, Berry generated approximately $10.2 billion of revenue and $1.8 billion in Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months period end December 30, 2023. Furthermore, in conjunction with today’s announcement, Berry will change the name of its Engineered Materials segment to Flexibles to showcase the continued evolution of this segment towards high-value products and solutions.

Glatfelter to Deliver Significant Shareholder Value and Platform for Future Growth

For Glatfelter, the proposed transaction represents the next significant milestone in the Company’s time-tested strategy as a leading global supplier of specialty materials. The combination of Berry’s HHNF business and Glatfelter provides meaningful scale given the complementary technology and product portfolios, along with a platform for considerable growth in future periods. The transaction provides NewCo the opportunity to deliver significant value creation for Glatfelter shareholders by immediately deleveraging Glatfelter’s balance sheet and increasing the equity value of the overall enterprise, while also enhancing its credit profile with customers and suppliers. Glatfelter’s recent focus on optimizing its portfolio, managing the price/cost spread dynamic, and driving commercial and operational excellence, along with G&A cost discipline, provides the foundation to meaningfully contribute towards the overall success of NewCo.

Financial Highlights

Together, HHNF and Glatfelter generated pro forma revenue of approximately $3.6 billion and Adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾ of approximately $455 million based on combined results for the last twelve months (‘LTM’) period ended December 2023 for Berry and the LTM period ended September 2023 for Glatfelter, along with expected cost synergies of $50 million and combined pro forma adjustments of $25 million to be realized by year three.

(1)

Adjusted/Operating EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that refer to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, pro forma, and as further described as Operating EBITDA for the LTM period ended December 2023 for Berry and Adjusted EBITDA for the LTM period ended September 2023 for Glatfelter, along with expected cost synergies of $50 million and combined pro forma adjustments to be realized by year three. A reconciliation to the nearest GAAP can be found in GLT’s September 10-Q for adjusted earnings and Berry numbers are a carveout of HH&S and unaudited.

(2)

Pro forma net leverage is a non-GAAP measure and refers to NewCo.’s net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA

Governance and Management

The new, publicly-traded company, which will be renamed and rebranded by transaction close, will be led by Curt Begle, Berry’s current President of HH&S, who will serve as CEO. Additional members of the combined company's senior management team will be announced at a later date.

“I am humbled and honored to be trusted as the leader of this new global enterprise and its 8,700 skilled and dedicated team members. This combination positions us to delight our customers, enhance the lives of our employees, and create value for our shareholders. Today’s announcement is the first step in creating a pure-play leader in nonwovens and specialty materials well-positioned in growing, global markets. We will increase the combined company’s relevance as a supplier of choice, through product innovation, superior service, and reliability. Our combined, well-invested platforms will provide value-added product offerings with leading sustainability-driven solutions for brand-owner customers globally,” stated Curt Begle, President of Berry’s Health, Hygiene & Specialties division.

The Board of Directors of the combined company will initially be comprised of nine total members, consisting of six designated by Berry and three designated by Glatfelter. The chairman will be designated by Glatfelter, and all directors will be named at a future date.

Strategic Rationale of the Combination

Creates a leading global competitor in the large and growing specialty materials industry

Broadens substrate, product and end market mix, combining highly complementary portfolios

Provides for significant geographic diversification with a presence in all major markets

Scales resources to drive innovation and leverage R&D across a large, global franchise

Combines extensive operational expertise, coupled with deep industry knowledge and technical know-how

Enables significant synergy potential; expected cost synergies $50 million composed of a combination of procurement, G&A and other operational improvement opportunities expected by the third year following closing

Transaction Details

The transaction is being structured as a Reverse Morris Trust transaction and is intended to be tax-free to Berry, Glatfelter and their respective shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Key details of the transaction include:

Ownership: Berry shareholders will own 90% of the combined company's common shares upon consummation of the transaction. Glatfelter shareholders will own the remaining 10% of the combined company.
