5.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2028
General
On the Closing Date, Merger Sub successfully completed the offering of $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Secured Notes”). The Secured Notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Secured Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of the Closing Date, by and between Merger Sub and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (as supplemented, the “Secured Indenture”).
On the Closing Date, upon the completion of the Merger, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Company assumed the obligations under the Secured Notes and the Secured Indenture, and the Subsidiary Guarantors guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Secured Notes and the Secured Indenture.
The Company’s obligations under the Secured Notes and the Secured Indenture are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the Company’s Term Loan Facility (as defined below). The Secured Notes and the related guarantees are secured by first-priority security interests in the “Term/Notes Priority Collateral” (which consists of substantially all of the Company’s and Subsidiary Guarantors’ assets other than the ABL Priority Collateral) and by second-priority security interests in the “ABL Priority Collateral” (which consists of the Company’s and Subsidiary Guarantors’ inventory and accounts receivable and related assets), in each case subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens set forth in the Secured Indenture and the security documents. For more information regarding the collateral and arrangements with respect to the collateral, see “Term Loan Facility—Collateral and Guarantors” below. The Secured Notes are secured on a ratable basis with the Term Loan Facility with respect to the Term/Notes Priority Collateral (on a first-priority basis) and the ABL Priority Collateral (on a second-priority basis), in each case, on such assets owned by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Maturity and Interest Payments
The Secured Notes will mature on May 1, 2028. Interest on the Secured Notes accrues at 5.250% per annum and will be paid semi-annually, in arrears, on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2021.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to November 1, 2023, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.250%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, so long as at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) must remain outstanding after each such redemption. In addition, prior to November 1, 2023, the Company may redeem during each twelve-month period up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) at a redemption price equal to 103%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
