On August 15, 2018, BrightView Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, BrightView Landscapes, LLC (the “Borrower”), the lenders or other financial institutions or entities party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Agent”), entered into Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”), which amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2013, by and among the Company, the Borrower and the lenders or other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto and the Agent (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement was amended (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to provide for: (i) a $1,037 million seven-year term loan (the “Series B Term Loan”) and (ii) a $260.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The Series B Term Loan matures on August 15, 2025 and bears interest at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 2.50%. The Company used the net proceeds from the Series B Term Loan to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company’s existing term loan, which bore interest at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 3.00%.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 15, 2023 and bears interest at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 2.00%, with the margin determined based on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility replaces the revolving credit facility of $235 million under the Existing Credit Agreement. As of the date of the Amendment Agreement, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

In connection with the Amendment Agreement, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, LLC was replaced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amendment Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

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