• Actions Are Part of Ongoing Optimal Capital Structure Efforts and Move a Greater Percentage of Total Debt to a Fixed Rate
  • Actions Expected to Have Immaterial EPS Impact to Fiscal 2019

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., March 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PBH) (the “Company”) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Prestige Brands, Inc. (“Prestige Brands”), has successfully priced the offering of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.375% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “New Notes”). The size of the offering reflects an increase of $50 million from the previously announced offering size of $200 million.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of its existing term loan facility and to pay related fees and expenses.

Separately, the Company closed a repricing of its term loan facility.  Following the closing, the margin will be reduced by 50 basis points on the loan.  The Company expects the repricing and add-on bond offering in aggregate to have an immaterial EPS impact to its fiscal 2019.

Ron Lombardi, CEO of Prestige Brands, stated, “Our successful refinancing is a testament to our leading and diversified brand portfolio that drives our strong cash flow profile.  We continue to execute our three pillar strategy and today’s announcement provides even greater financial flexibility to enhance long-term shareholder value.”

Senior Notes Issuance Details

The New Notes being offered will be issued as additional notes under the Indenture dated February 19, 2016, pursuant to which Prestige Brands previously issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of existing 6.375% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Existing Notes”). The New Notes will be treated as a single series with the Existing Notes and will have substantially the same terms as those of the Existing Notes. The New Notes will have a maturity date of March 1, 2024. The closing of the New Notes is expected to be completed on or about March 21, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions.

The New Notes were priced at 101.0% of their face value. The New Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Prestige Brands and will be guaranteed by the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries.
