Premium Brands Holdings Corporation Announces $150 Million Financing of Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures to Fund Future Acquisitions and for General Corporate Purposes
24 Mai 2022 - 10:14PM
Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (“Premium Brands” or the
“Company”) (TSX: PBH), a leading producer, marketer and distributor
of branded specialty food products, is pleased to announce it has
entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters co-led
by National Bank Financial Inc., BMO Capital Markets, CIBC Capital
Markets, and Scotiabank (collectively, the "Underwriters"),
pursuant to which the Company will issue on a "bought-deal" basis,
subject to regulatory approval, $150,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures
(the "Debentures") at a price of $1,000 per Debenture (the
"Offering"). The Company has also granted the Underwriters an
over-allotment option to purchase up to an
additional $22,500,000 aggregate principal amount of
Debentures, on the same terms, exercisable in whole or in part at
any time for a period of up to 30 days following closing of the
Offering, to cover over-allotments, if any. If the over-allotment
option is exercised in full, the total gross proceeds to be raised
under the Offering will be $172,500,000.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from
the Offering to reduce existing indebtedness under its senior
revolving credit facility, thereby increasing the amount available
to be drawn, as required, to fund future potential strategic
acquisitions and capital projects, which may arise, and for general
corporate purposes.
The Debentures will bear interest from the date of issue at
5.40% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on September 30
and March 31 each year, commencing March 31, 2023, and will have a
maturity date of September 30, 2029 (the "Maturity Date").
The Debentures will be convertible at the holder's option at any
time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the Maturity
Date and the business day immediately preceding the date specified
by the Company for redemption of the Debentures into common shares
of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a conversion price of $160.25
per Common Share, being a conversion rate of 6.2402 Common Shares
for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about June
13, 2022. The Offering is subject to normal regulatory approvals,
including approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Debentures will be offered in each of the
provinces and territories of Canada by way of a short form
prospectus, and by way of private placement in the United States to
"qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A or in such a
manner as to not require registration under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
