The offering of the Notes (the “Offering”) was made pursuant to a confidential offering memorandum, dated March 12, 2025.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of AFNA and are unconditionally guaranteed (such guarantees, the “Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) on a senior unsecured basis by Amcor and certain of its subsidiaries that guarantee existing notes issued by AFNA. The Securities were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of March 17, 2025, among AFNA, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), together with certain officer’s certificates, each dated March 17, 2025 (the “Officer’s Certificates”), delivered pursuant to the Indenture establishing the terms of the Notes.

The 2028 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.800% per annum. AFNA will pay interest on the 2028 Notes on March 17 and September 17 of each year, commencing on September 17, 2025. The 2028 Notes will mature on March 17, 2028.

The 2030 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.100% per annum. AFNA will pay interest on the 2030 Notes on March 17 and September 17 of each year, commencing on September 17, 2025. The 2030 Notes will mature on March 17, 2030.

The Offering was conducted in connection with Amcor’s previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Berry Global Group, Inc. (“Berry”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 19, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Amcor, Aurora Spirit, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amcor, and Berry. Amcor intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay certain existing indebtedness of Berry in connection with the consummation of the Merger. If (i) the consummation of the Merger does not occur on or before the date that is five business days after November 19, 2025 (or such later date to which the “Outside Date” under the Merger Agreement may be extended) (the “Outside Date”), (ii) prior to the Outside Date, the Merger Agreement is terminated or (iii) AFNA otherwise notifies the Trustee in writing that Amcor will not pursue the consummation of the Merger, AFNA will be required to redeem all of the Notes, other than the 2028 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable special mandatory redemption date.

Following the closing of the Offering, the commitments under the unsecured 364-day bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Facility”) entered into on November 19, 2024, by AFNA, as borrower, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, UBS AG, Stamford Branch and UBS Securities LLC (collectively, the “Bridge Lenders”) in connection with the Merger, as voluntarily reduced by AFNA on February 13, 2024, were further reduced as a result of AFNA receiving net cash proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes. On March 17, 2025, AFNA voluntarily terminated the remaining commitments of the Bridge Lenders under the Bridge Facility.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, AFNA and the Guarantors have also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to make available an effective shelf registration statement for resales of the outstanding Notes other than Notes that have been exchanged or disposed of pursuant to a registration statement under certain circumstances, including if SEC interpretations do not permit AFNA and the Guarantors to effect the Registered Exchange Offer or if the Registered Exchange Offer is not completed by the Target Registration Date.
