Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 19, 2012, Post Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with respect to the Credit Agreement dated as of February 3, 2012, by and among the Company, Barclays Bank PLC, in its capacity as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), the several banks and other institutions from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), and Post Foods, LLC, as guarantor (the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment modified the Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the issuance of additional Senior Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the amount of up to $250 million, and to permit the Company to incur additional indebtedness so long as the Company’s Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amendment) is less than 2.5 to 1.0 and other conditions are satisfied. The Amendment also increases our permitted maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 5.75 to 1.00 beginning with the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, and declining ratably at the beginning of each subsequent fiscal year to 5.00 to 1.00 for each quarter during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 (and remaining at 5.00 to 1.00 for all periods thereafter).
The summary of the provisions of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference. In all other respects, the Credit Agreement remains unmodified and in full force and effect.
Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |

The Notes will be offered as additional notes under an existing indenture pursuant to which the Company previously issued $775 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior notes due 2022 (the “Existing Notes”).
