Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective as of March 16, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), Atkins Nutritionals, Inc., Atkins Nutritionals Holdings, Inc., Atkins Nutritionals Holdings II, Inc. and NCP-ATK Holdings, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrower”), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Simply Good Foods Company, entered into an amendment (the “Repricing Amendment”) to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2017, among the Borrower, Barclays Bank PLC (the “Agent”) and the other loan parties and lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”).
As a result of the Repricing Amendment, the interest rate on the outstanding $200 million Initial Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was reduced and, effective as of the Effective Date, such loans bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.50% or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. With respect to the Initial Term Loans, prior to the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date, a 1.00% prepayment premium is payable by the Borrower in connection with certain repricing events. Other than the prepayment premiums and penalties described above and the payment of customary “breakage” costs, the Borrower may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans at any time. The Repricing Amendment did not change the interest rate on the Revolving Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Revolving Loans will continue to bear interest based upon the Borrower’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio as of the last financial statements delivered to the Agent. No additional debt was incurred, or any proceeds received, by the Borrower in connection with the Repricing Amendment.
A copy of the Repricing Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the Repricing Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Repricing Amendment.
