The ABL FILO Term Loans will be “Tranche B” term loans, ranking junior in right of payment to the “Tranche A” revolving loans, under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016 (as thereafter amended from time to time), by and among the Company, Revlon, Inc., certain local borrowing subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, certain lenders and issuing lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, issuing lender and swingline lender (such agreement, the “2016 U.S. ABL Facility” and such Tranche B term loans, the “ABL FILO Term Loans”).
The New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans will be “Term B-2 Loans” (ranking junior to the Term B-1 Loans and senior to the Term B-3 Loans with respect to liens on certain specified collateral) under the BrandCo Credit Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2020 (as thereafter amended from time to time), among the Company, Revlon, Inc., the lenders from time to time party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and as collateral agent (such agreement, the “2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility” and such Term B-2 Loans, the “New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans” and, together with the ABL FILO Term Loans, the “New Loans”).
Previously-Disclosed Amendments to Tender Procedures for Eligible Holders Electing Mixed Consideration
As previously disclosed, an Eligible Holder electing Mixed Consideration who validly tenders and does not validly withdraw its Notes and submits elections for Mixed Consideration through the ATOP system of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) by the New Early Tender Deadline will be deemed by the Company to have timely tendered its Notes prior to the New Early Tender Deadline if it completes the “New Lender Requirements” (as defined in the Offering Memorandum), other than tendering its Notes through DTC’s ATOP system, after the New Early Tender Deadline as promptly as practicable to permit prompt settlement of the Exchange Offer. Any delays in completing and submitting the required documentation may result in delays in settlement.
The Company reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject an Eligible Holder’s tender of Notes made as described above to the extent the New Lender Requirements are not completed promptly after the New Early Tender Deadline by the respective Eligible Holder.
The Company further reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept for payment and settle the Exchange Offer with respect to an Eligible Holder’s Notes that are tendered into the Exchange Offer, prior to such Eligible Holder’s completion of the New Lender Requirements (including “know your customer” and similar other documentation) (any such Notes, the “Delayed Lender Requirements Notes”). The 2016 U.S. ABL Facility and the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility will provide that the Company and the relevant guarantors are obligated to incur the New Loans in respect of such Delayed Lender Requirements Notes and to make such New Loans available to the relevant Eligible Holder (or its designees, to the extent such designees complete the New Lender Requirements), and the relevant Eligible Holder (or such designees) will, beginning on such date of settlement, have the right to receive such New Loans upon completion of the New Lender Requirements. Interest on the New Loans will begin to accrue on the date of such settlement. To the extent an Eligible Holder who elects Mixed Consideration is unable to complete the New Lender Requirements, it will have the option to either (i) designate another party to receive the New Loans (provided such designee is also an Eligible Holder), but retain the cash portion of the Mixed Consideration or (ii) if the Eligible Holder is not able to designate another party to receive the New Loans, forgo the New Loans (but retain the cash portion of the Mixed Consideration). Any such Delayed Lender Requirements Notes will be presented to the Trustee for cancellation.
Each Eligible Holder of Delayed Lender Requirements Notes should be aware that if the Company exercises its right to accept for payment and settle the Exchange Offer with respect to such Delayed Lender Requirements Notes, until such holder or its assignee completes the New Lender Requirements, the right to receive the New Loans in respect thereof will not be secured by any collateral. As a result, any such Eligible Holder will be subject to the risks of having an unsecured contractual right to receive New Loans until such time as the relevant New Lender Requirements are completed by such Eligible Holder and the New Loans are provided to such Eligible Holder in accordance with the 2016 U.S. ABL Facility or the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Agreement, as the case may be. Therefore, Eligible Holders electing to receive Mixed Consideration should seek to complete the New Lender Requirements as soon as practicable.
The Company has retained Jefferies LLC to act as the dealer manager for the Exchange Offer. Global Bondholder Services Corporation is acting as the Information Agent and Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer. Questions regarding the Exchange Offer should be directed to Jefferies LLC, 520 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attn: Alvin Ng, or at (212) 336-6677 or ang2@jefferies.com. Requests for documentation should be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation at (212) 430-3774 (for banks and brokers) or (866) 470-3900 (for all others) or contact@gbsc-usa.com.
