Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 1, 2020, Tredegar Corporation (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “First Amendment”) to its existing five-year, revolving, secured credit facility, originally dated as of June 28, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Truist Bank, Citizens Bank, N.A. and PNC Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, and U.S. Bank National Association, Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-documentation agents, and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”).

The following sets forth a description of the material terms of the First Amendment:


Aggregate borrowings available under the facility were reduced from $500 million to $375 million.


The definition of Consolidated EBITDA was amended to permit certain adjustments for prepayment of pension obligations on a pro forma basis.


Amendments were made to certain of the negative covenants, including, among other amendments, the following: (i) the restricted payments covenant was amended to permit a one-time special dividend payment of up to $200 million and an additional $75 million of dividend payments over the life of the facility; (ii) the asset disposition covenant was amended to  reduce the general basket to 20% of consolidated total assets over the life of the facility and was reset as of the effective date of the First Amendment; and (iii) the indebtedness covenant was amended to reduce several baskets to $25 million each.

The Company and its affiliates regularly engage the Lenders to provide other banking services.  All of these engagements are negotiated at arm’s length.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.  The Credit Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 1, 2019.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Dated as of June 28, 2019
 
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 (this “Amendment”) is made as of December 1, 2020 by and among TREDEGAR CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions listed on the signature pages hereof and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent’), under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 2019 by and among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
 
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement;
 
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent have so agreed on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

(c)          The Administrative Agent shall have made such reallocations of each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Exposure under the Amended Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that the Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to such Lender reflects such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Exposure under the Amended Credit Agreement.  The Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Loans and the reallocation described in this clause (c), in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 2.16 of the Amended Credit Agreement.
 
3.            Representations and Warranties of the Borrower.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(b)             This Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally.
 
(c)           As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment, (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such earlier date.
 
4.            Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement.
 
(a)          Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference to the Credit Agreement in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement.
 
(b)          Each Loan Document and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
 
(c)          The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.
 
(d)          This Amendment is a Loan Document.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TREDEGAR BOARD DECLARES SPECIAL DIVIDEND OF $5.97 PER SHARE

RICHMOND, VA, December 1, 2020 –Tredegar Corporation (NYSE:TG) announced today that its board of directors has declared a special dividend of $200 million or $5.97 per share on the company’s common stock (the “Special Dividend”).  The Special Dividend is payable on December 18, 2020 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 11, 2020.

John Steitz, Tredegar’s president and chief executive officer said, “The Special Dividend is a direct result of our strong cash generation that resulted in cash in excess of debt of $28 million at September 30, 2020, which increased further at the end of October with the closing on the sale of our Personal Care business for estimated net proceeds (after transaction costs, purchase price adjustments and transition services) of $45 to $50 million.  In addition, the distribution of excess cash is being supplemented by borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which has a maturity date in June 2024, thereby allowing us to prudently use financial leverage in a low interest rate environment while also preserving available capital to meet the needs of our business units.”
