Sealed Air Corporation (“Sealed Air”) entered into an amended and restated debt commitment letter dated June 17, 2011 (the “Amended Commitment Letter”) which amended and restated in its entirety the debt commitment letter dated May 31, 2011 (the “Existing Commitment Letter”) which was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the 8-K filed on June 3, 2011 (the “Previous 8-K”). The primary change to the Existing Commitment Letter was to add financial institutions as commitment parties thereunder. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended Commitment Letter, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and its affiliates, Bank of America, N.A., BNP Paribas and the Royal Bank of Scotland plc made several (and not joint) commitments to provide 50.0%, 25.0%, 12.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the principal amount of a $750 million first-lien term loan A credit facility, a $1,550 million first-lien term loan B credit facility, a $1,500 million senior unsecured bridge facility and a $700 million first-lien revolving credit facility. The terms of the Amended Commitment Letter are substantially the same as the terms of the Existing Commitment Letter described in the Existing 8-K.
The foregoing description of the Amended Commitment Letter is included to provide you with information regarding its terms. It does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Commitment Letter, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
