Amendment of Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility

Overview. On August 2, 2018, Party City Holdings Inc. (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Party City Holdco Inc. (the “Company”), PC Intermediate Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), its parent, and its subsidiary, Party City Corporation, as co-borrower, amended its credit agreement for its $640 million senior secured ABL revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”), with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders party thereto.

The amendment to the credit agreement governing the Revolving Facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) will extend the maturity date thereof to the earliest of (a) August 2, 2023, (b) the date that is 60 days prior to the final stated maturity date of the Borrower’s senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility,” and together with the Revolving Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”) if such final stated maturity date has not been extended or refinanced to a date occurring on or after February 2, 2024, unless the amount of excess availability minus the outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility on such date is in excess of $100.0 million, and (c) the date that is 60 days prior to the final stated maturity date of the Borrower’s 6.125% notes due 2023 if such final stated maturity date has not been extended or refinanced to a date occurring on or after February 2, 2024, unless the amount of excess availability minus the outstanding amount of 2023 Notes on such date is in excess of $100.0 million.

Indenture and 2026 Notes

On August 2, 2018, Party City Holdings Inc. (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Issuer’s newly issued 6.625% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). In addition, on August 2, 2018, certain of the Issuer’s subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), and the Trustee entered into a supplemental indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) pursuant to which the Guarantors unconditionally guaranteed all the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture. The 2026 Notes were issued in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million and will pay interest semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2019, at a rate of 6.625% per year, and will mature on August 1, 2026.

The 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by each of the Issuer’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Issuer’s Senior Credit Facilities. The 2026 Notes and related guarantees constitute senior obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors. They rank (i) equally in right of payment will all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, (ii) effectively subordinated to any of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing that secured indebtedness, including borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities, and (iii) structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the 2026 Notes, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.

At any time prior to August 1, 2021, the Issuer may redeem all or part of the 2026 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole” premium. On or after August 1, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively, the Issuer may redeem some or all of the 2026 Notes at the redemption price of 103.313%, 101.656% and 100.000%, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. At any time on or after August 1, 2021, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes at a redemption price equal to 106.625% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds received by the Issuer in one or more equity offerings; provided that the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes

that remain outstanding immediately after such redemption is equal to or greater than 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes originally issued under the Indenture on the issue date and any additional notes issued under the Indenture after the issue date must remain outstanding after each such redemption.

Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of changes of control, the holders of the 2026 Notes will have the right to cause the Issuer to repurchase some or all of the 2026 Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Issuer’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to:

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. These covenants will be suspended, and shall not apply at any time during which the 2026 Notes have been assigned an investment grade rating.

This description of the Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the 2026 Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the form of the 2026 Notes, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
