On July 30, 2018, Foundation Building Materials, Inc. (the “Company”) submitted a conditional redemption notice (the "Redemption Notice") to the trustee and the holders of its outstanding 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) seeking to redeem all of the outstanding Notes on August 15, 2018, conditioned on the prior completion of a new $450.0 million term loan credit facility and ABL Credit Facility (together, the “New Credit Facility”). If the New Credit Facility has not been completed by August 15, 2018, the Company may delay the redemption until the condition is satisfied. The redemption date will be the date on which the Notes are redeemed, and is anticipated to be August 15, 2018 (the “Redemption Date”).
The redemption of the Notes will be considered an extinguishment of debt for accounting purposes and any related unamortized deferred financing costs are expected to be expensed in the third quarter of 2018. The redemption price of the Notes is equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
