Pactiv Evergreen Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Pactiv Evergreen Inc. (“PTVE”) and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from what was anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and balance sheet. Among other effects, such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets, and adjustments to reserves for employee benefits and income taxes. The estimated recoverable amounts associated with asset impairments recognized in all periods presented represent Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy, which include inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our results of operations, and it may also have additional far-reaching impacts on many aspects of our operations including the impact on customer behaviors, business and manufacturing operations, our employees and the market in general. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the progress of the pandemic, actions taken to contain the virus, the implementation and effectiveness of vaccinations and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

On February 4, 2020, we distributed our interest in the operations that represented our former Reynolds Consumer Products ("RCP") business to our shareholder, PFL. The distribution was effected in a tax-free manner. The distribution occurred prior to and in preparation for the initial public offering of shares of common stock of RCPI ("RCPI IPO"), which was completed on February 4, 2020. To effect the distribution of RCP, we bought back 35,791,985 of our shares from PFL in consideration of us transferring all of our shares in RCPI to PFL. Upon the distribution of RCPI to PFL, we determined that our former RCP business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation.

On September 16, 2020, we distributed our interest in the operations that represented our former Graham Packaging Company ("GPC") business to our shareholder, PFL. The distribution was effected in a tax-free manner. The distribution occurred prior to and in preparation for our initial public offering (“IPO”), which was completed on September 21, 2020. To effect the distribution of GPC, we bought back 14,036,726 of our shares from PFL in consideration of us transferring all of our shares in Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPCI”) to PFL. Upon the distribution of GPCI to PFL, we determined that our former GPC business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation.

Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relates to our continuing operations. Certain of our operations have been presented as discontinued. We present businesses as discontinued operations when the components either meet the criteria as held for sale, or are sold or distributed, and their expected or actual disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and financial results. As discussed in Note 2, Discontinued Operations, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and supplemental cash flow information of all of our former RCP segment, distributed in February 2020, and all of our former GPC segment, distributed in September 2020, are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Sales from our continuing operations to our discontinued operations previously eliminated in consolidation have been recast as external revenues and are included in net revenues within operating income from continuing operations. Refer to Note 16, Related Party Transactions, for additional details.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) Disclosure - Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This ASU requires sponsors of defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans to provide additional disclosures, including a narrative description of reasons for any significant gains or losses impacting the benefit obligation for the period. It also eliminates certain previous disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and must be applied on a retrospective basis to all years presented. The requirements of this guidance have an impact on our annual disclosures but have no impact on the measurement and recognition of amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Guidance Issued but Not Yet Adopted as of June 30, 2021

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848). This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This ASU is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through the end of calendar year 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact and whether we plan to adopt the optional expedients and exceptions provided under this new standard.

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Discontinued Operations

Our discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily comprised of our former RCP and GPC businesses.

Loss from discontinued operations, which includes the results of GPC through September 16, 2020 and the results of RCP through February 4, 2020, were as follows:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a charge of $1 million and $4 million, respectively, primarily related to certain historical tax agreements from previously divested businesses.

The loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes depreciation and amortization expenses of $59 million and $126 million, respectively.

The loss from discontinued operations includes asset impairment charges of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and there were no asset impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 also included restructuring and other related charges of $4 million and $8

million, respectively, arising from the ongoing rationalization of GPC's manufacturing footprint, which are included in restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges in the above table.

We have no significant continuing involvement in relation to GPCI.

Subsequent to February 4, 2020, we continue to trade with RCPI in the ordinary course of business. Refer to Note 16, Related Party Transactions, for additional details.

Note 3. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

On March 31, 2021, we completed the sale of the remaining South American closures businesses for an immaterial amount and recognized a partial reversal of the initial impairment charge of $2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 which was reflected in restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges. This partial reversal was driven by a change in the carrying value of the assets held for sale as of the disposal date. The operations of the South American closures businesses did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized an impairment charge of $2 million related to the finalization of the sale, which was recognized in restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges.

The results of this business were reported within the Other operating segment. The South American closures businesses' income from operations before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were insignificant.

On July 28, 2021, we announced the decision to close our coated groundwood paper production line located in our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill. We expect that the closure of the production line will be completed by October 31, 2021.

As a result of the closure, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $8 million for contractual termination benefits in the three months ended June 30, 2021. We also expect the closure to result in accelerated plant and equipment depreciation expense of approximately $25 million, the majority of which will be incurred through October 31, 2021. We also expect disassembly costs and similar expenses of approximately $2 million to $4 million.

In addition, related to the sale of our South American closures businesses, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 which offset a previously recorded partial reversal of impairment charges. Refer to Note 3, Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale, for additional details.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $1 million relating to obsolete property, plant and equipment, $2 million for employee termination costs and $1 million for other restructuring costs. The remaining aggregate carrying values of the assets impaired at Foodservice was less than $1 million.

The following table summarizes the changes to our restructuring liability for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

We were in compliance with all debt covenants during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.

As detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we repaid portions of term loans, the securitization facility and notes totaling $8,944 million, for an aggregate price, including premiums, of $8,978 million, prior to maturity. This included repayments of $3,215 million of term loans, borrowings under the securitization facility and notes during the first six months of 2020. The repayment of these borrowings resulted in a $5 million loss on extinguishment of debt reported within discontinued operations. Refer to Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for additional details.

The weighted average contractual interest rates related to our U.S. term loans Tranche B-1 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 2.87% and 3.96%, respectively. The weighted average contractual interest rate related to our U.S. term loans Tranche B-2 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 3.37%. The effective interest rates of our debt obligations under the Credit Agreement are not materially different from the contractual interest rates.

PTVE and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries have guaranteed on a senior basis the obligations under the Credit Agreement to the extent permitted by law. The borrowers and the guarantors have granted security over substantially all of their assets to support the obligations under the Credit Agreement. This security is expected to be shared on a first priority basis with the holders of the Notes.

Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement may be voluntarily repaid, in whole or in part, and must be mandatorily repaid in certain circumstances. We are required to make quarterly amortization payments of 0.25% of the principal amount of U.S. term loans Tranche B-2. Additionally, we are required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% or 0% if specified senior secured first lien leverage ratios are met) as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. No excess cash flow prepayments were due in 2020 or are due in 2021 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

commencing April 15, 2021

 

On February 16, 2021, we repaid the remaining $59 million of the 5.125% senior secured notes at a price of 101.281%. The early repayment of these senior secured notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1 million in respect of the premium on redemption, which was recognized in interest expense, net.

PTVE and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries have guaranteed on a senior basis the obligations under the Notes to the extent permitted by law. The issuers and the guarantors have granted security over substantially all of their assets to support the obligations under the Notes. This security is expected to be shared on a first priority basis with the creditors under the Credit Agreement.

The indenture governing the Notes contains customary covenants which restrict us from certain activities including, among other things, incurring debt, creating liens over assets, selling assets and making restricted payments, in each case except as permitted under the indenture governing the Notes.

Under the indenture governing the Notes, we can, at our option, elect to redeem the Notes under terms and conditions specified in the indenture. Under the indenture governing the Notes, in certain circumstances which would constitute a change in control, the holders of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase the Notes at a premium.

The Pactiv Debentures are not guaranteed and are unsecured.

The indentures governing the Pactiv Debentures contain a negative pledge clause limiting the ability of certain of our entities, subject to certain exceptions, to (i) incur or guarantee debt that is secured by liens on “Principal Manufacturing Properties” (as such term is defined in the indentures governing the Pactiv Debentures) or on the capital stock or debt of certain subsidiaries that own or lease any such Principal Manufacturing Property and (ii) sell and then take an immediate lease back of such Principal Manufacturing Property.

The 8.375% Debentures due 2027 may be redeemed at any time at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption.

Other borrowings

Other borrowings include finance lease obligations of $30 million and $12 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Our derivatives are comprised of commodity swaps. All derivatives represent Level 2 financial assets and liabilities. Our derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of these financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of non-performance, including counterparty credit risk. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with our derivatives by limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

No contributions to the Pactiv Evergreen Pension Plan (“PEPP”) are expected to be made in 2021.

On July 14, 2021, we entered into an agreement with an insurance company to purchase a non-participating group annuity contract and transfer approximately $950 million of the PEPP’s projected benefit obligations, subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction closed on July 21, 2021 and was funded with plan assets. Under the transaction, the insurance company will assume responsibility for pension benefits and annuity administration for approximately 16,300 retirees or their beneficiaries. As a result of this transaction, in the third quarter of 2021, we will remeasure the PEPP’s projected benefit obligations and plan assets and we expect to recognize a non-cash pre-tax pension settlement gain of approximately $22 million.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time party to litigation, legal proceedings and tax examinations arising from our operations. Most of these matters involve allegations of damages against us relating to employment matters, personal injury and commercial or contractual disputes. We record estimates for claims and proceedings that constitute a present obligation when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of such obligation can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these matters, based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances, we do not believe any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows in a future period.

On April 14, 2021, MP2 Energy LLC (“MP2”) filed a lawsuit against Pactiv LLC (“Pactiv”), one of our indirect subsidiaries, in state court in Montgomery County, Texas. In this lawsuit, MP2 seeks to collect approximately $40 million from Pactiv that MP2 claims that Pactiv owes MP2 under an energy management services agreement (“EMSA”). Under the EMSA, Pactiv agreed, among other things, to sell MP2 a certain contract quantity of energy at a specified price. If this contract quantity of energy became unavailable for Pactiv to sell to MP2, the EMSA granted MP2 the right to contract for the purchase of the shortfall in the contract quantity, and to charge Pactiv for the cost incurred by MP2 in contracting for that shortfall, “unless due to an event of Force Majeure.” On February 15, 2021, Pactiv notified MP2 that Pactiv was excused by Force Majeure under the EMSA to the extent that the contract quantity of energy was not available for Pactiv to sell to MP2 because of the winter weather emergency caused by Winter Storm Uri. Even though MP2 does not dispute that Winter Storm Uri constituted an event of Force Majeure under the EMSA, MP2 nevertheless seeks to hold Pactiv responsible in this lawsuit for $40 million in costs that MP2 claims it incurred in contracting for a shortfall in Pactiv’s contract quantity of energy during the event of Force Majeure. Pactiv disputes any liability to MP2 and maintains that Pactiv acted reasonably at all times and that the event of Force Majeure excused any obligation Pactiv had to supply the contract quantity under the EMSA or to reimburse MP2 for its cost in contracting for any shortfall in the contract quantity. Pactiv believes that MP2’s claim is without merit and that Pactiv has strong defenses against MP2’s claim, including, but not limited to, Force Majeure. Pactiv intends to vigorously defend itself against MP2’s claim in this lawsuit. Although we are confident of Pactiv’s legal position in this matter and do not consider it probable that this matter will result in a material loss, we can offer no assurance that Pactiv will in fact obtain a favorable outcome.

As part of the agreements for the sale of various businesses, we have provided certain warranties and indemnities to the respective purchasers as set out in the respective sale agreements. These warranties and indemnities are subject to various terms and conditions affecting the duration and total amount of the indemnities. As of June 30, 2021, we are not aware of any material claims under these agreements that would give rise to an additional liability. However, if such claims arise in the future, they could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 15. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 represent our estimate of the annual effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the respective full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period that they occur.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized tax expense of $5 million on income from continuing operations before tax of $13 million. The effective tax rate was driven primarily by the mix of income and losses taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a tax benefit of $13 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $16 million. The effective tax rate was driven primarily by a $10 million discrete benefit from the partial release of our valuation allowance for deferred interest deductions, which was partially offset by varying tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a tax benefit of $43 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $61 million. The effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act in March 2020 and the mix of income and losses taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a tax benefit of $137 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $22 million. The effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the enactment of the CARES Act that enabled us to recognize a discrete benefit of $90 million from the partial release of our valuation allowance for deferred interest deductions. Retroactive provisions of the CARES Act enabled us to utilize additional deferred

interest deductions, which lowered taxable income for both the year ended December 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2020.

We are under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other taxing authorities. The IRS is currently auditing our U.S. income tax returns for 2016-2017. It is possible the audit will be completed in the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2021, we have not received any proposed adjustments from taxing authorities that would be material. Although the ultimate timing is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that a reduction of up to $10 million of unrecognized tax benefits could occur within the next twelve months due to changes in audit status, settlements of tax assessments and other events.

Note 16. Related Party Transactions

As of June 30, 2021, 78% of our shares are owned by PFL or another entity of which Mr. Graeme Hart is the ultimate shareholder (together with PFL, the “Hart Stockholders”).

Following the distribution of RCPI on February 4, 2020, we continue to trade with them, selling and purchasing various goods and services under contractual arrangements that expire over a variety of periods through December 31, 2024. Prior to February 4, 2020, our continuing operations recognized revenue and cost of sales in respect of sales to and purchases from RCPI. Refer to Note 2, Discontinued Operations. As part of the separation process, among other agreements, we have entered into two lease arrangements with RCPI and entered into a transition services agreement to provide ongoing agreed services to RCPI, as requested. We do not trade with GPCI on an ongoing basis. We have entered into a transition services agreement to provide ongoing agreed services to GPCI, as requested. We have also entered into a tax matters agreement with GPCI. We have recognized a receivable of $12 million under the tax matters agreement in relation to GPCI’s estimated share of U.S. federal taxes in respect of the period from January 1, 2020 through to September 16, 2020.

As part of our IPO, we have entered into a transition services agreement with Rank Group Limited ("Rank"), an entity controlled by Mr. Graeme Hart, under which Rank will, upon our request, continue to provide certain administrative and support services to us, and we will provide support services to Rank upon request. All services provided will be charged at an agreed hourly rate plus any third party costs.

(5)

Our previous loan with Rank accrued interest at a rate based on the average 90-day New Zealand bank bill rate, set quarterly, plus a margin of 3.25%. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, interest was charged at 3.46% and 4.28% to 3.46%, respectively. In September 2020, in preparation for our IPO, the loan receivable was forgiven and was recognized as a reduction in retained earnings.

(6)

Our previous financing agreements permitted the payment of management fees to related parties for management, consulting, monitoring and advising services. The management fees were paid pursuant to a services agreement with Rank which was terminated upon our IPO. There were no management fees recorded in continuing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, management fees of $5 million were recognized in Other income (expense), net, with the remainder in discontinued operations.

Note 17. Equity Based Compensation

In conjunction with our IPO, we established the Pactiv Evergreen Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) for purposes of granting stock or other equity based compensation awards to our employees (including our senior management), directors, consultants and advisors. The maximum number of shares of common stock initially available for issuance under our Equity Incentive Plan was 9,079,395 shares.

We recognized $2 million and $6 million of equity based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. There was no equity based compensation expense recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we granted additional restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain members of management and certain members of our Board of Directors. These RSUs required future service to be provided and vest in annual installments over a period ranging from 1 to 4 years beginning on the first anniversary of the original grant date. The following table summarizes RSU activity during 2021:

Unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of June 30, 2021 was $10 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

Performance Share Units

We may grant performance share units (“PSUs”) which vest based on the achievement of various company performance targets during a performance period set by our Compensation Committee. We use our stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of our PSUs. We adjust the expense based on the likelihood of future achievement of performance metrics. If any of the performance targets are not achieved, the awards are forfeited. Each PSU is equal to one common share once vested with varying maximum award value limitations. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we granted PSUs to certain members of management which vest on the third anniversary of the original grant date.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding prior to our IPO reflects our conversion to a Delaware incorporated entity and the subsequent stock split, as detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The stock split has been retroactively reflected, resulting in 134.4 million weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

There were no anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the calculation above for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The weighted average number of anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the calculation above was 0.2 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Our Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.10 per share on August 3, 2021 to be paid on September 15, 2021 to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2021.

Note 19. Segment Information

ASC 280 Segment Reporting establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, we have three reportable segments: Foodservice, Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising. These reportable segments reflect our operating structure and the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses information for decision-making purposes.

23


Pactiv Evergreen Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

 

The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization and alignment of our internal operations and the nature of our products. This reflects how our CODM monitors performance, allocates capital and makes strategic and operational decisions. Our reportable segments are described as follows:

Foodservice - Manufactures a broad range of products that enable consumers to eat and drink where they want and when they want with convenience. Foodservice manufactures food containers, drinkware (hot and cold cups and lids), tableware, serviceware and other products which make eating on-the-go more enjoyable and easy to do.

Food Merchandising - Manufactures products that protect and attractively display food while preserving freshness. Food Merchandising products include clear rigid-display containers, containers for prepared and ready-to-eat food, trays for meat and poultry and molded fiber cartons.

Beverage Merchandising - Manufactures cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, primarily serving dairy (including plant-based, organic and specialties), juice and other specialty beverage end-markets. Beverage Merchandising manufactures and supplies integrated fresh carton systems, which include printed cartons, spouts and filling machinery. It also produces fiber-based liquid packaging board for its internal requirements and to sell to other fresh beverage carton manufacturers as well as a range of paper-based products which it sells to paper and packaging converters.

Other/Unallocated - In addition to our reportable segments, we have other operating segments that do not meet the threshold for presentation as a reportable segment. These operating segments include the remaining components of our former closures business, which generate revenue from the sale of caps and closures, and are presented as “Other” in the reconciliation between total reportable segment amounts and the equivalent consolidated measure. Unallocated includes corporate costs, primarily relating to companywide functions such as finance, tax and legal and the effects of the PEPP and equity based compensation.

Information by Segment

We present reportable segment adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") as this is the financial measure by which management and our CODM allocate resources and analyze the performance of our reportable segments.

Adjusted EBITDA represents each segment's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and is further adjusted to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including but not limited to, foreign exchange gains or losses on cash, related party management fees, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, impairment charges, restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, non-cash pension income or expense, strategic review and transaction-related costs, and executive transition charges.

Reportable segment assets represent trade receivables, inventory and property, plant and equipment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Our discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Description of the Company and its Business Segments

We are a manufacturer and supplier of fresh food and beverage packaging products primarily in North America. We report our business in three reportable segments: Foodservice, Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising. Our Foodservice segment manufactures a broad range of products that enable consumers to eat and drink where they want and when they want with convenience. Our Food Merchandising segment manufactures products that protect and attractively display food while preserving freshness. Our Beverage Merchandising segment manufactures cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, primarily serving dairy (including plant-based, organic and specialties), juice and other specialty beverage end-markets.

Recent Developments and Items Impacting Comparability

Coated Groundwood Paper Business Exit

On July 28, 2021, we announced the decision to close our coated groundwood paper production line located in our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill. With the decline in the coated groundwood market, our decision to exit this business enables us to re-invest resources into our strategic core competency of liquid packaging board, as well as other more profitable segments across the enterprise. We expect that the closure of the production line will be completed by October 31, 2021.

As a result of the closure, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $8 million for contractual termination benefits in the quarter ended June 30, 2021. We also expect the closure to result in accelerated plant and equipment depreciation expense of approximately $25 million, the majority of which will be incurred through October 31, 2021. We also expect disassembly costs and similar expenses of approximately $2 million to $4 million.

Pension Settlement Transaction

On July 14, 2021, we entered into an agreement with an insurance company to purchase a non-participating group annuity contract and transfer approximately $950 million of the PEPP’s projected benefit obligations, subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction closed on July 21, 2021 and was funded with plan assets. Under the transaction, the insurance company will assume responsibility for pension benefits and annuity administration for approximately 16,300 retirees or their beneficiaries. As a result of this transaction, in the third quarter of 2021, we will remeasure the PEPP’s projected benefit obligations and plan assets and we expect to recognize a non-cash pre-tax pension settlement gain of approximately $22 million.  

Winter Storm Uri

During February 2021, the Southern portion of the U.S. was impacted by Winter Storm Uri which brought record low temperatures, snow and ice and resulted in power failures, hazardous road conditions, damage to property and death and injury to individuals in those states. During most of this weather event, we were unable to fully operate some of our mills, plants and warehouses in Texas and Arkansas. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred approximately $50 million of incremental costs including energy costs, primarily related to natural gas, shut-down costs and some property damage during the storm. Our Beverage Merchandising segment was impacted to the greatest degree with incremental costs of $37 million incurred by our paper mill in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. We do not expect to incur any further incremental costs related to Winter Storm Uri.

As a result of the storm, certain of our suppliers with locations in the impacted areas were also unable to operate which subsequently has resulted in their declaration of force majeure on meeting the supply quantities due to us. In particular, our supply of various resin types has been limited and we have been required to purchase from other suppliers, and at a higher price, in order to meet our production demands for March and April. As further discussed in our Results of Operations, our cost of sales was impacted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the products manufactured with this higher priced material were sold.

29


 

COVID-19

Our business and operating results for 2021 continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we have seen improvement in our business during the first half of 2021, which we expect to continue throughout 2021 as the economies in which we operate recover.

Our highest priorities continue to be the safety of our employees and working with our employees and network of suppliers and customers to help maintain the food supply chain as an essential business.

As we are a part of the global food supply chain, we have taken a number of actions to promote the health and safety of our employees and customers in order to maintain the availability of our products to meet the needs of our customers. To date, we have not experienced significant issues within our supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the sourcing of materials and logistics service providers.

We expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our results of operations in future periods as the macroeconomic environment changes and consumer behavior continues to evolve or if additional lockdowns occur. However, while the general effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to change and remain unpredictable, we expect an improved second half of 2021 as compared to 2020 as the markets in which we operate see increased demand.

We continue to proactively manage our business in response to the evolving impacts of the pandemic, and we will continue to communicate with and support our employees and customers, to monitor and take steps to further safeguard our supply chain, operations and assets, to protect our liquidity and financial position, to work toward our strategic priorities and to monitor our financial performance as we seek to position ourselves to withstand the current uncertainty related to this pandemic.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business and Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate and manage our business and to plan and make near-term and long-term operating and strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including but not limited to foreign exchange gains or losses on cash, related party management fees, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, impairment charges, restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, non-cash pension income or expense, strategic review and transaction-related costs, and executive transition charges.

We present Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and Board of Directors. In addition, our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments.

Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $245 million, or 22%, to $1,352 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume within our Foodservice and Beverage Merchandising segments, largely due to higher demand as the economy continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as favorable pricing, primarily due to higher material costs passed through to customers within our Foodservice and Food Merchandising segments.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $269 million, or 29%, to $1,202 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume within our Foodservice and Beverage Merchandising segments, as well as higher material costs. In addition, the increase was driven by higher logistics costs and higher manufacturing costs in our Beverage Merchandising segment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $4 million, or 3%, to $115 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower strategic review and transaction related costs, mostly offset by higher operational consultancy costs.

Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges. Restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $9 million to $10 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 4, Impairment, Restructuring and Other Related Charges, for additional details.

Other Income (Expense), Net. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized income of $5 million compared to $46 million of expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change was primarily attributable to foreign exchange losses of $56 million on cash in the prior year period on U.S. dollar cash balances held by foreign entities with a non-U.S. dollar functional currency which were redomiciled to the U.S. upon our initial public offering.

32


 

Non-operating Income, Net. Non-operating income, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased to $25 million compared to $17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in interest cost on benefit plans, largely as a result of a decrease in interest rates.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $44 million, or 51%, to $42 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Interest expense, net decreased by $42 million reflecting the reduction in principal amounts outstanding under our notes and term loans. Refer to Note 9, Debt, for additional details.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized tax expense of $5 million on income from continuing operations before tax of $13 million, compared to a tax benefit of $43 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $61 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rate during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to our overall projected earnings subject to taxation at varying rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The effective tax rate during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to retroactive provisions in the CARES Act enacted in March 2020 and the mix of book income and losses among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes. Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 included three months of results of our former GPC segment. Refer to Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for additional details.

Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $3 million, or 2%, to $130 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume, due to the continued economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as favorable pricing, mostly offset by higher material costs, net of higher costs passed through to customers, higher logistics costs and higher manufacturing costs in Beverage Merchandising.

Net Revenues. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $197 million, or 8%, to $2,516 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume within our Foodservice segment, largely due to higher demand as markets continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as favorable pricing, primarily due to higher material costs passed through to customers within our Foodservice and Food Merchandising segments.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $287 million, or 15%, to $2,258 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume, higher manufacturing costs driven by $50 million of incremental costs incurred related to the impact of Winter Storm Uri, timing of a cold mill outage and production inefficiencies in Beverage Merchandising, higher material costs and higher logistics costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $1 million to $241 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to $15 million of lower strategic review and transaction related costs, mostly offset by a $10 million charge related to executive transition agreements and higher employee-related costs.

Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges. Restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $4 million to $8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 4, Impairment, Restructuring and Other Related Charges, for additional details.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $20 million to $11 million compared to $31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains of $28 million on cash in the prior year period, largely on U.S. dollar cash balances held by foreign entities with a non-U.S. dollar functional currency which were redomiciled to the U.S. upon our initial public offering.

Non-operating Income, Net. Non-operating income, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased to $48 million compared to $33 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in interest cost on benefit plans, largely as a result of a decrease in interest rates.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $104 million, or 55%, to $84 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Interest expense, net decreased by $94 million reflecting the reduction in principal amounts outstanding under our notes and term loans. Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was also impacted by $14 million of expense from our interest rate swap which we subsequently terminated in August of 2020. These decreases were partially offset by an unfavorable change in foreign exchange rates. Refer to Note 9, Debt, for additional details.

Income Tax Benefit. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a tax benefit of $13 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $16 million, compared to a tax benefit of $137 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to the partial release of our valuation allowance for deferred interest deductions, which was partially offset by varying tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate. The effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to retroactive provisions in the CARES Act enacted in March 2020, mainly in relation to a discrete tax benefit from the deductibility of deferred interest deductions.

Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes. Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included only one month of results of our former RCP segment and six months of results of our former GPC segment. Refer to Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for additional details.

Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $65 million, or 24%, to $207 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to higher manufacturing costs in Beverage Merchandising driven by the impact of Winter Storm Uri along with the additional impact from a cold mill outage, as well higher material costs, net of higher costs passed through to customers. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales volume and favorable pricing. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included $50 million of additional costs incurred related to the impact of Winter Storm Uri.

additional costs of $37 million incurred related to the impact of Winter Storm Uri and costs of $16 million from a cold mill outage during the first quarter of 2021, production inefficiencies in the mills and higher material costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our ongoing operations and to invest in future growth to create value for our shareholders. Our projected operating cash flows, existing cash balances and available capacity under our revolving credit facility are our primary sources of liquidity for the next 12 months and are expected to be used for, among other things, capital expenditures necessary to complete our Strategic Investment Program, payment of interest and principal on our long-term debt obligations, and distributions to shareholders that require approval by our Board of Directors. Additionally, we may continue to utilize long-term debt issuances for our funding requirements. While we may need additional financing to support our business and pursue our growth strategy, we currently do not expect any negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity.

Cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $45 million to $122 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $167 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included $134 million related to discontinued operations. The change related to our continuing operations was primarily driven by lower cash outflows related to interest payments and higher cash inflows related to tax refunds, partially offset by lower cash earnings.

Cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $71 million to $137 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $208 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The change related to our continuing operations was primarily attributable to higher capital expenditures due to the timing of spend. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included $94 million related to discontinued operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we invested $37 million and $59 million, respectively, on our Strategic Investment Program.

Net cash related to financing activities changed by $470 million to $102 million of cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $368 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of the $59 million redemption of the remaining portion of our 5.125% Notes and the payment of $35 million of dividends to our shareholders. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to the incurrence of $3,616 million of debt, net of transaction costs, by RCPI immediately prior to its distribution, net of our repayment of $3,215 million of our pre-existing debt and $31 million of cash held by RCPI at the time of its distribution.

Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $35 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and there were no dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.10 per share on August 3, 2021 to be paid on September 15, 2021 to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2021.

Our Credit Agreement and Notes limit the ability to make dividend payments, subject to specified exceptions. Our Board of Directors must review and approve future dividend payments and will determine whether to declare additional dividends based on our operating performance, expected future cash flows, debt levels, liquidity needs and investment opportunities.

Debt and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2021, we had $3,956 million of total principal amount of borrowings. Refer to Note 9, Debt, for additional details. The nature and amount of our long-term debt and the proportionate amount of each varies as a result of current and expected business requirements, market conditions and other factors.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repaid the remaining $59 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% senior secured notes at a price of 101.281%.

Our 2021 annual cash interest obligations on our borrowings, including borrowings that have been repaid, are expected to be approximately $155 million. As of June 30, 2021, the underlying one month LIBO rate for amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement was 0.10%.

37


 

As of June 30, 2021, we had $350 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $207 million available for drawing under our revolving credit facility. We believe that our existing cash balances, projected operating cash flows together with our available capacity under our revolving credit facility are sufficient to fund our principal debt payments, interest expense, our working capital needs and our expected capital expenditures for the next 12 months. Our next significant near term maturity of borrowings is $1,207 million of U.S. term loans due in February 2023. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $305 million of capital expenditures during fiscal year 2021. We do not currently anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic will materially impact our liquidity over the next 12 months.

Our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility or our local working capital facilities or to incur additional indebtedness may be limited by the terms of such indebtedness or other indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement and the Notes. The Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Notes generally allow our subsidiaries to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances within the Company.

Under the Credit Agreement, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and senior secured or unsecured notes in lieu thereof are permitted to be incurred up to an aggregate principal amount of $750 million subject to pro forma compliance with the Credit Agreement’s total secured leverage ratio covenant. In addition, we may incur senior secured indebtedness in an unlimited amount as long as our total secured leverage ratio does not exceed 4.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis and (in the case of incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement only) we are in pro forma compliance with the Credit Agreement’s total secured leverage ratio covenant. The incurrence of unsecured indebtedness, including the issuance of senior notes, and unsecured subordinated indebtedness is also permitted (subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement) if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis.

Under the indenture governing the Notes, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Indebtedness may be incurred under the incurrence tests if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis or the consolidated total leverage ratio is no greater than 5.50 to 1.00 and the liens securing first lien secured indebtedness do not exceed a 4.10 to 1.00 consolidated secured first lien leverage ratio.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than short-term leases entered into in the normal course of business, we have no material off-balance sheet obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

The most critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make the most difficult and subjective judgments, often estimating the outcome of future events that are inherently uncertain. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation, to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting guidance that we have recently adopted, as well as accounting guidance that has been recently issued but not yet adopted by us, is included in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We had significant debt commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2021. These on-balance sheet financial instruments, to the extent they accrue interest at variable interest rates, expose us to interest rate risk. Our interest rate risk arises primarily on significant borrowings that are denominated in U.S. dollars drawn under our Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement includes interest rate floors of 0.0% per annum on the term loans and the revolving loan.

The underlying rates for our Credit Agreement are the one-month LIBOR, and as of June 30, 2021 the applicable rates, including the relevant margins, were 2.85% for U.S. term loans Tranche B-1 and 3.35% for U.S. term loans Tranche B-2. Based on our outstanding debt commitments as of June 30, 2021, a one-year timeframe and all other variables remaining constant, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a $25 million increase in interest expense on the term loans under our

38


 

Credit Agreement. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a $3 million decrease in interest expense on the term loans under our Credit Agreement.

Interest rates may fluctuate if LIBOR ceases to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established. See Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—Certain of our long-term indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on LIBOR, which may be subject to regulatory guidance and/or reform that could cause interest rates under our current or future debt agreements to fluctuate or cause other unanticipated consequences, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a result of our international operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising from sales, purchases, assets and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the respective entities. We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on certain intercompany borrowings between certain of our entities with different functional currencies.

In accordance with our treasury policy, we take advantage of natural offsets to the extent possible. On a limited basis, we use contracts to hedge residual foreign currency exchange risk arising from receipts and payments denominated in foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge our exposure to translation gains or losses in respect of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency assets or liabilities. Additionally, when considered appropriate, we may enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exchange risk arising from specific transactions. We had no foreign currency derivative contracts as of June 30, 2021.

Commodity Risk

We are exposed to commodity and other price risk principally from the purchase of resin, natural gas, electricity, raw wood, wood chips and diesel. We use various strategies to manage cost exposures on certain material purchases with the objective of obtaining more predictable costs for these commodities. We generally enter into commodity financial instruments or derivatives to hedge commodity prices related to resin (and its components), diesel and natural gas.

We enter into futures and swaps to reduce our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. These derivatives are implemented to either (a) mitigate the impact of the lag in timing between when material costs change and when we can pass through these changes to our customers or (b) fix our input costs for a period. See Note 10, Financial Instruments, for the details of our commodity derivative contracts as of June 30, 2021.

A 10% upward (downward) movement in the price curve used to value the commodity derivative contracts, applied as of June 30, 2021, would have resulted in a change of less than $1 million in the unrealized loss recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of income (loss), assuming all other variables remain constant.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In connection with the preparation of this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

The information required to be set forth under this heading is incorporated by reference from Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, to the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As disclosed in our risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, in August 2020 we identified practices in our Evergreen Packaging Shanghai business, which is part of our Beverage Merchandising segment, which involve acts potentially in violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”). In September 2020 we made a voluntary self-disclosure to the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) about these items and our investigation being conducted by external counsel, accountants and other advisors. Our investigation identified the occasional giving of gift cards representing relatively minor monetary values to government regulators and employees of state-owned enterprise customers in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), over the course of several years. The amounts involved were immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, and these appear to have been provided at the times of PRC holidays for generalized goodwill purposes only. We have initiated procedures to remediate such practices, including discontinuing the giving of gift cards. We also identified certain other gift, travel and entertainment practices that do not comply with Company policy and expectations. These findings provided an opportunity for targeted, enhanced controls and additional training in these areas. We presented our investigation findings to the DOJ and SEC in February 2021. In response to and based on our investigation findings, the DOJ has decided to close its file on this matter without any action against the Company. The SEC staff has indicated its intention to close this matter without any action against the Company, and we intend to fully cooperate with the SEC, with the assistance of legal counsel, to conclude this matter.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or future results.

Exhibit 10.1

 

 

 

5.

Compensation Upon Termination.

(a)Termination Generally.  lf Employee's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, Employee (or Employee ' s authorized representative or estate) sha ll, through the Date of Termination, be paid or provided with (i) any earned but unpaid Base Salary,

(ii) unpaid expense reimbursements, and (iii) any vested benefits Employee may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company (the "Accrued Obligations"). The Accrued Obligations shall be paid at the time(s) specified under any applicable employee benefit plan, or. if there is no applicable employee benefit plan, within 30 days after Employee' s Date of Termination.

 

(b)Termination by the Company Without Cause. If Employee’s employment is tem1inated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 4(c), then employee shall be paid or provided with the Accrued Obligations through the Date of Termination and, subject to Section 5(c), Employee shall also be paid or provided with the following:

 

(i)Severance. A severance payment (the Severance Amount'') in the Amount set forth on Schedule A.  Subject  to Section 5(c) and Section 6, the Severance Amount shall be paid to Employee in equal installments in accordance  with the Company' s nom1al payroll practices over a period set forth on Schedule A (the "Severance Period"); provided that no amount of the severance shall be payable until the revocation period for the Release described in Section 5(c) shall have expired (and Employee shall not have revoked  Employee's agreements in the Release), and any amount that would have been paid to Employee but for this proviso shall be accrued and paid to Employee on the first payroll date immediately following the expiration of such revocation period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in addition to any other rights or remedies the Company may have at law or in equity, if Employee breaches any of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, Employee' s right to receive further payments of the Severance Amount shall be terminated. Severance provided pursuant to this Agreement is in lieu of: and not in addition to, any severance that might be available to Employee by law, contract, policy, or otherwise, all of which are hereby waived by Employee. lf Employee receives any other severance, the Severance Amount shall be

reduced by the amount of such other severance.

 

(ii)Health Care Continuation.  In addition, Employee and Employee' s eligible dependents, if any, shall continue to be covered by the Company' s health plan (the "Health Plan"), as in effect from time to time, and subject to the rules thereof (including any requirement to make contributions or pay premiums, except that Employee shall contribute or pay on an after-tax basis) for the Severance Period. If the provision to Employee of the insurance coverage described in this Section would either:

(A) violate the terms of the Health Plan (or any related insurance policies), or (B) violate any of the nondiscrimination requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable to the health insurance coverage, then the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay Employee, in lieu of the health insurance coverage described under this Section 5(b)(ii), a lump-sum cash payment equal to the total monthly premiums (or in the case of a self-funded plan, the cost of COBRA continuation

 

3

 


Exhibit 10.1

 

 

 

coverage) that would have been paid by the Company for Employee under the Health Plan.

 

(c)Release. Any payment that may become due under Section 5(b) shall be subject to Employee signing a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities in a form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and which shall contain a corresponding mutual release from the Company in favor of Employee (the “Release) within the 21-day (or, if required by law, 45-day) period following the Date of Termination and the expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release. In the event Employee fails to sign such Release within the 21-day (or 45-day) period following the Date of Termination or revokes the Release prior to the expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release, Employee shall reimburse the Company for any payment made to Employee under Section 5(b) prior to the expiration of such seven-day revocation period for the Release. In addition, notwithstanding anything else herein lo the contrary, Employee's entitlement to the payments and benefits described in Section 5(b) shall be contingent upon Employee abiding by and not breaching any of the covenants set forth in the Release and in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

 

6.

Section 409A.

 

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A(a) of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon Employee 's termination of employment or within a certain time following the " Date of Termination," then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon Employee's "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the "Date of Tem1ination" shall be the date on which Employee experiences such "separation from service." The detem1ination of whether and when a "separation from service" has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section

l.409A- l (h). lf this Agreement provides for a payment to be made within a period of time, the date within such period on which such payment shall be made shall be determined by the

Company in its sole discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company will pay the Severance Amount after the 45th day following the Date of Termination.

 

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of Employee' s "separation from service", Employee is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, to the extent any payment or benefit that Employee becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of Employee' s "separation from service" would be considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A(a) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after Employee's "separation from service" , or (8) Employee's death.

 

(c)All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by Employee during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of

 

4

 


Exhibit 10.1

 

 

 

the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

(d)the Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to Employee or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of. such Section.

 

7.Restrictive Covenant Agreement. The Company's obligations under this Agreement. including the Company's agreement to provide severance and to allow Employee to participate in the other compensation programs as provided on Schedule A, is conditioned on Employee signing a Restrictive Covenant Agreement in the form of Schedule B (the

Restrictive Covenant Agreement").

 

8.Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy  or claim arising out of or relating  to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of Employee's employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (''AAA") in Chicago, IL in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. In the event that any person or entity other than Employee or the Company may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity's agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate (including, without limitation, the Company' s enforcement of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement); provided, however. that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 8. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not limit the Company's ability to terminate Employee's employment at any time.

 

9.Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter, including, but not limited to, any prior Agreement and/or compensation plan to which Employee and the Company or any of its affiliates are parties.

 

I 0.Withholding. All payments made by the Company to Employee under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law.

Exhibit 10.1

 

 

 

11.Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby , and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

12.Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of Employee's employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein. This agreement shall be binding upon, and the rights and obligations herunder shall inure to the benefit of, any successors and assigns of the Company.

 

13.Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

 

14.Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Employee at the last address Employee has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention of John McGrath.

Exhibit 10.1

 

 

 

(b)Non-Solicitation of Prospective Customers. Employee agrees that, during Employee's employment with the Company and for a period of 12 months following the termination of Employee' s employment, Employee shall not, on behalf of any entity or person other than the Company, directly or indirectly, contact or solicit any Prospective Customer for the purpose of delivering, selling, or otherwise offering a product that is the same or similar to that of a Company Product.

 

(c)Non-Solicitation of Employees. Employee agrees that, during Employee's employment with the Company and for a period of 12-month s following the

termination of Employee' s employment, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: a) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates with whom Employee had a working relationship in the 24 months prior to the termination of Employee ' s employment to terminate his or her employment with the Company; b) hire or employ, or attempt to hire or

. employ, an y employee of the Company or any of its affiliates with whom Employee had a working relationship in the 24 months prior to the termination of Employee ' s employment; o r c) assist any other person or entity in doing any of the foregoing.

 

(d)Limited Non-Competition. Employee agrees that during Employee' s employment with the Company and for a period of 12 months following the termination of Employee' s employment, Employee shall not, anywhere in North America (United States, Mexico or Canada) act in any capacity, whether or not for consideration, on behalf of any

Competitor. Given the national nature of the Company's business, the extent to which Employee has been (or will be) exposed to the Company' s Proprietary information, and the ability of Employee to carry out Employee' s work remotely, regardless of physical location, Employee acknowledges the geographic scope of the post-employment restriction in this Section 5(d) is reasonable and appropriate.

 

(e)Confidentiality Covenant. During Employee ' s employment with the Company and following the termination of Employee's employment:

 

(i)Employee will not disclose or transfer, directly or indirectly, any Proprietary Information to any person or entity other than as authorized by the Company. Employee understands and agrees that disclosures authorized by the Company for the benefit of the Company must be made in accordance with the Company's policies and practices designed to maintain the confidentiality of Proprietary Information, for example providing information after obtaining signed non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements;

 

(ii)Employee will not use, directly or indirectly, any Proprietary Information for the benefit or profit of any person or organization, including Employee, other than the Company;

 

(iii)Employee will not remove or transfer from any of the Company' s offices or premises any materials or property of the Company (including, without limitation, materials and property containing Proprietary Information), except as is strictly necessary in the performance of Employee' s assigned duties as an employee;

Exhibit 10.1

 

 

 

(iv)Employee will not copy any Proprietary Information except as needed in furtherance of and for use in the Company's business. Employee agrees that copies of Proprietary Information must be treated with the same degree of confidentiality as the original information and are subject to the same restrictions contained in this Agreement;

 

(v)Employee will promptly upon the Company's request, and in any event promptly upon the termination of Employee' s employment with the Company, return to the Company all materials and property removed from or belonging to the Company and Employee will not retain copies of any of such materials and property;

(vii)Employee will not use or rely on the confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of a third party in the performance of Employee ' s work for the Company except when obtained through lawful means such as contractual teaming agreements, purchase of copyrights, or other written permission for use of such information.

 

(f)Scope of Covenants. The parties desire for the restrictive covenants, including any time period and geographic scope, to be construed as broadly as permitted by applicable law. It is the parties' intent, and a critical inducement to the Company entering into this Agreement, to protect and preserve the Company's legitimate interests, and thus the patties agree that the time period and the geographic coverage and scope of the post-employment restrictions herein are reasonable and necessary. However, if a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the time period of any of the foregoing post-employment restrictions is too lengthy, the geographic scope is too broad, or the agreement overreaches in any way, the parties authorize and respectfully ask the court to modify or, if modification is not possible, strike the offending portion, but only that portion, and grant the relief reasonably necessary to protect the Company's interests so as to achieve the original intent of the parties.

 

(g)Remedies. Employee agrees that a threatened or existing violation of any of the post-employment restrictions contained in this Agreement would cause the Company irreparable injury for which it would have no adequate remedy at law and agrees that the Company will be entitled to obtain injunctive relief prohibiting such violation, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity. The real or perceived existence of any claim or cause of action against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or some other basis, will not alleviate Employee of Employee' s obligations under this Agreement and will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of post-employment restrictions contained herein.

 

(h)Tolling of Time Periods. Employee agrees that in the event Employee violates any subsection of Section 5 of this Agreement as to which there is a specific time period during which Employee is prohibited from certain actions and activities, such violation shall toll the running of such time period from the date of such violation until the date the violation ceases.

 

6

 


Exhibit 10.1

 

 

 

(i)Inevitable Use of Proprietary Information. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, after Employee's separation of employment, Employee will possess the Company' s Proprietary Information which Employee would inevitably use if Employee were to engage in the conduct prohibited by Section 5 (including each of its sub-sections), that such use would be unfair and extremely detrimental to the Company and, in view of the benefits provided lo Employee in this Agreement, that such conduct on his or her part would be inequitable. Accordingly, Employee separately and severally agrees for the benefit of the Company to be bound by each of the covenants described above.

 

6.Reasonable Restrictions. Employee acknowledges that it is necessary and appropriate for the Company to protect its legitimate business interests by restricting Employee' s ability to engage in certain competitive activities and any violation of such post-employment restrictions would result in irreparable injury to the Company's legitimate business interests.

The parties agree that the post-employment restrictions contained in this Agreement are drafted narrowly to safeguard the Company' s legitimate business interests while not unreasonably

interfering with Employee ' s ability to obtain other employment.

 

7.Entire Agreement. No representation, promise, understanding, or warranty not set forth herein has been made or relied upon by either party in making this Agreement. No modification, amendment or addition will be valid, unless set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such modification, amendment or addition is sought. Notwithstanding, this Agreement supersedes any prior confidentiality agreements or restrictive covenants between the Company and Employee provided however that if a court of competent jurisdiction refuses to enforce this Agreement, then the pm1ies agree that the term of any prior confidentiality or restrictive covenants shall govern.

 

8.At Will Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a contract of employment for any given duration. The relationship between the Company and Employee shall be employment-at-will and either the Company or Employee may terminate it at any time for any reason without liability.

 

9.Subsequent Employment. In order to protect the Company' s rights under this Agreement, Employee agrees that:

 

(a)For a period of 12 months following the termination of Employee' s employment with the Company, Employee shall advise the Company with respect to any new employment by Employee's. Employee is aware that the Company may contact Employee' s prospective or subsequent employers and inform them of this Agreement or any other policy or employment agreement between Employee and the Company that may be in effect on

Employee ' s last day of employment. Employee understands that Employee has a duty to contact the Company if Employee has any questions regarding whether or not conduct by Employee would be restricted by this Agreement.

 

(b)Employee shall make the terms and conditions of the post-employment restrictions in this Agreement known to any business, entity or persons engaged in activities competitive with the Company's business with which Employee becomes associated during

Employee understands that Employee ' s obligations under this Agreement are personal, and that Employee may not assign this Agreement, or any of Employee's rights, interests, or obligations under this Agreement.

 

11.Non-Waiver.

(b)Discharge by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate Employee's employment hereunder for Cause at any time. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean in the good faith determination of the Company' s CEO that Employee has engaged in conduct consisting of (i) dishonesty or other serious misconduct related to Employee's duties as an employee of the Company, or (ii) willful and continual failure (unless due to incapacity resulting from physical or mental illness) to perform the duties of Employee's employment after written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the

Company specifically identifying the manner in which Employee has not substantially performed such duties.

 

(c)Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate Employee's employment hereunder at any time without Cause upon 30 days' written notice to Employee.

Exhibit 10.2

 

 

5.

Compensation Upon Termination.

 

(a)Termination Generally. If Employee's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, Employee (or Employee's authorized representative or estate) shall, through the Date of Termination, be paid or provided with (i) any earned but unpaid Base Salary,

(ii) unpaid expense reimbursements, and (iii) any vested benefits Employee may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company (the "Accrued Obligations"). The Accrued Obligations shall be paid at the time(s) specified under any applicable employee benefit plan, or, if there is no applicable employee benefit plan, within 30 days after Employee's Date of Termination.

 

(b)Termination by the Company Without Cause. If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 4(c), then Employee shall be paid or provided with the Accrued Obligations through the Date of Termination and, subject to Section 5(c), Employee shall also be paid or provided with the following:

 

(i)Severance. A severance payment (the "Severance Amount") in the Amount set forth on Schedule A. Subject to Section 5(c) and Section 6, the Severance Amount shall be paid to Employee in equal installments in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices over a period set forth on Schedule A (the "Severance Period"); provided that no amount of the severance shall be payable until the revocation period for the Release described in Section 5(c) shall have expired (and Employee shall not have revoked Employee's agreements in the Release), and any amount that would have been paid to Employee but for this proviso shall be accrued and paid to Employee on the first payroll date immediately following the expiration of such revocation period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in addition to any other rights or remedies the Company may have at law or in equity, if Employee breaches any of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, Employee's right to receive further payments of the Severance Amount shall be terminated. Severance provided pursuant to this Agreement is in lieu of, and not in addition to, any severance that might be available to Employee by law, contract, policy, or otherwise, all of which are hereby waived by Employee. If Employee receives any other severance, the Severance Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such other severance.

 

(ii)Health Care Continuation. In addition, Employee and Employee's eligible dependents, if any, shall continue to be covered by the Company's health plan (the "Health Plan"), as in effect from time to time, and subject to the rules thereof (including any requirement to make contributions or pay premiums, except that Employee shall contribute or pay on an after-tax basis) for the Severance Period. If the provision to Employee of the insurance coverage described in this Section would either:

 

(A)

violate the terms of the Health Plan (or any related insurance policies), or (B) violate any of the nondiscrimination requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable to the health insurance coverage, then the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay Employee, in lieu of the health insurance coverage described under this Section 5(b)(ii), a lump-sum cash payment equal to the total monthly premiums (or in the case of a self-funded plan, the cost of COBRA continuation

 

 

3

 


Exhibit 10.2

 

coverage) that would have been paid by the Company for Employee under the Health Plan.

 

(c)Release. Any payment that may become due under Section 5(b) shall be subject to Employee signing a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company (the "Release") within the 21-day (or, if required by law, 45-day) period following the Date of Termination and the expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release. In the event Employee fails to sign such Release within the 21-day (or 45-day) period following the Date of Termination or revokes the Release prior to the expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release, Employee shall reimburse the Company for any payment made to Employee under Section 5(b) prior to the expiration of such seven-day revocation period for the Release. In addition, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Employee' s entitlement to the payments and benefits described in Section 5(b) shall be contingent upon Employee abiding by and not breaching any of the covenants set forth in the Release and in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

 

 

6.

Section 409A.

 

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A(a) of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon Employee's termination of employment or within a certain time following the "Date of Termination," then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon Employee' s "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the "Date of Termination" shall be the date on which Employee experiences such "separation from service." The determination of whether and when a "separation from service" has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section

1.409A-l(h). If this Agreement provides for a payment to be made within a period of time, the date within such period on which such payment shall be made shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company will pay the Severance Amount after the 45th day following the Date of Termination.

 

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of Employee' s "separation from service", Employee is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, to the extent any payment or benefit that Employee becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of Employee's "separation from service" would be considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A(a) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after Employee's "separation from service", or (B) Employee's death.

(c)All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by Employee during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of

 

4

 


Exhibit 10.2

 

in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

(d)the Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to Employee or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

 

7.Restrictive Covenant Agreement. The Company's obligations under this Agreement, including the Company's agreement to provide severance and to allow Employee to participate in the other compensation programs as provided on Schedule A, is conditioned on Employee signing a Restrictive Covenant Agreement in the form of Schedule B (the "Restrictive Covenant Agreement").

 

8.Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of Employee' s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Chicago, IL in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. In the event that any person or entity other than Employee or the Company may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity's agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate (including, without limitation, the Company' s enforcement of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement); provided, however, that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 8. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not limit the Company's ability to terminate Employee' s employment at any time.

 

9.Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter, including, but not limited to, any prior Agreement and/or compensation plan to which Employee and the Company or any of its affiliates are parties.

 

10.Withholding. All payments made by the Company to Employee under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law.

 

11.Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be

 

5

 


Exhibit 10.2

 

declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

12.Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of Employee's employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein.

 

13.Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

 

14.Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Employee at the last address Employee has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention of John McGrath.

 

15.Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by Employee and by a duly authorized representative of the Company (other than Employee).

 

16.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Illinois without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such State.

17.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the date set forth above.

Agreement

 

 

I.

Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(c)"Competitor" means (i) those entities listed on Attachment A plus (ii) such other entities that the Company reasonably determines are engaged in a Competitive Activity, in each case plus any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of such entity, minus (iii) such entities on Attachment A that the Company reasonably determines are no longer engaged in a Competitive Activity. Company shall notify Employee in writing of any additions to or deletions from Attachment A.

 

(d)"Customer" means any customer, including distributors, with whom the Company transacted business during the 24-month period immediately preceding the tem1ination of Employee's employment with the Company provided that (i) Employee had Material Contact with, or (ii) knew Proprietary Information of or about, the Customer during the 24-month period immediately preceding the termination of Employee' s employment with the Company.

 

(e)"Material Contact" means any contact between Employee and any Customer or Prospective Customer:

 

(I)with whom or with which Employee dealt on behalf of the Company;

 

1

 


Exhibit 10.2

 

 

 

 

(2)whose dealings with the Company were coordinated or supervised by Employee; or

 

(3)that resulted in Employee obtaining Proprietary Information about a Customer or Prospective Customer.

 

(f)"Proprietary Information" means confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or its affiliates, including, but not limited to, materials and information, whether written, electronic, or otherwise: a) disclosed to Employee or known by Employee as a result of his or her employment with the Company, b) which is not generally known, and c) which relates to or concerns the Company's or its affiliates': innovations; ideas; plans; processes; structures; systems; know-how; algorithms; computer programs; software; code; publications; designs; methods; techniques; drawings; apparatuses; government filings; patents; patent applications; materials; devices; research activities; reports and plans; specifications; promotional methods; financial inforn1ation; forecasts; sales, profit and loss figures; personal identifying information of employees; marketing and sales methods and

strategies; plans and systems; customer protocols and training programs; customer, prospective customer, vendor, licensee and client lists; information about customers, prospective customers, vendors, licensees and clients; information about relationships between the Company or its affiliates and their business partners, acquisition prospects, vendors, suppliers, prospective customers, customers, employees, owners, licensees and clients; information about deals and prospective deals; information about products, including but not limited strengths, weaknesses and vulnerabilities of existing products, as well as product strategies and roadmaps for future products and releases; and information about pricing including but not limited to license types, models, implementation costs, discounts and tolerance for discounts.

The following information will not be considered Proprietary Information under this Agreement: a) information that has become generally available to the public through no wrongful act of Employee; b) information that Employee identified prior to Employee's employment with the Company; c) information that is disclosed to the public pursuant to the binding order of a government agency or court; and d) information that is acquired through general skill and experience during Employee's employment with the Company which Employee could reasonably have been expected to acquire in similar employment for another company provided Employee has no reason to believe that the Company would consider such information Proprietary Information as defined above.

 

(g)"Prospective Customer" means any person with whom the Company was attempting to transact business within the six month period immediately preceding the termination of Employee's employment with the Company provided that (i) Employee had Material Contact with, or (ii) knew Proprietary Information of or about, the Prospective Customer during the six-month period immediately preceding the termination of Employee's employment.

2

 


Exhibit 10.2

 

 

 

training and/or shall be introduced to, given the opportunity to develop personal contacts with, and actually develop an advantageous familiarity as to the Company's Customers and Prospective Customers. If the confidential or "trade secret" information, specialized training, or contacts and familiarity were made available to the Company competitors or other individuals outside the Company, or otherwise used against the Company interests, it would undoubtedly result in a loss of business or competitive position for the Company and/or harm the Company's goodwill and investment in developing and maintaining its business relationships. Employee also agrees he/she holds a position uniquely essential to the management, organization, and/or service of the Company and the Company's business is inherently national in character.

 

3.Disclosure of Existing Obligations. Except as disclosed in writing on Attachment B, Employee certifies the following:

 

(a)Employee is not bound by any written agreement or other obligation that directly or indirectly (i) restricts Employee from using or disclosing any confidential or proprietary information of any person or entity, (ii) restricts Employee from competing with, or soliciting actual or potential customers or business from, any person or entity, (iii) restricts Employee from soliciting any current or former employees of any person or entity, or (iv) limits Employee's ability to perform any assigned duties for the Company.

 

(b)Employee does not have in Employee's possession any confidential or proprietary information or documents belonging to others (except as disclosed in Attachment B), and will not use, disclose to, or induce the Company to use any such information or documents. To the extent Employee possesses any confidential information or documents from a former employer or other party, Employee agrees to immediately return any such confidential information or documents to the owner unless Employee has express written authorization to retain it or them or destroy such information or documents.

 

(c)Employee understands that the Company expects Employee to fulfill any contractual and fiduciary obligations Employee may owe to any former employer or other party, and Employee agrees to do so.

Upon the Company's request, Employee shall promptly execute and deliver to the Company any and all further assignments, patent applications, or such other documents as the Company may deem necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

termination of Employee' s employment, Employee shall not, on behalf of any entity or person other than the Company, directly or indirectly, contact or solicit any Customer for the purpose of delivering, selling, or otherwise offering a product that is the same or similar to that of a Company Product.

 

4

 


Exhibit 10.2

 

 

 

(b)Non-Solicitation of Prospective Customers. Employee agrees that, during Employee' s employment with the Company and for a period of 12 months following the termination of Employee's employment, Employee shall not, on behalf of any entity or person other than the Company, directly or indirectly, contact or solicit any Prospective Customer for the purpose of delivering, selling, or otherwise offering a product that is the same or similar to that of a Company Product.

 

(c)Non-Solicitation of Employees. Employee agrees that, during Employee's employment with the Company and for a period of 12 months following the termination of Employee' s employment, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: a) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates with whom Employee had a working relationship in the 24 months prior to the termination of Employee's employment to terminate his or her employment with the Company; b) hire or employ, or attempt to hire or employ, any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates with whom Employee had a working relationship in the 24 months prior to the termination of Employee's employment; or c) assist any other person or entity in doing any of the foregoing.

Employee agrees that during Employee' s employment with the Company and for a period of 12 months following the termination of Employee' s employment, Employee shall not, anywhere in North America (United States, Mexico or Canada) act in any capacity, whether or not for consideration, on behalf of any

Competitor. Given the national nature of the Company' s business, the extent to which Employee has been (or will be) exposed to the Company' s Proprietary information, and the ability of Employee to carry out Employee' s work remotely, regardless of physical location, Employee

acknowledges the geographic scope of the post-employment restriction in this Section 5(d) is reasonable and appropriate.

(e)Confidentiality Covenant. During Employee's employment with the Company and following the termination of Employee' s employment:

 

(i)Employee will not disclose or transfer, directly or indirectly, any Proprietary Info1mation to any person or entity other than as authorize d by the Company.

(v)Employee will promptly upon the Company's request, and in any event promptly upon the termination of Employee's employment with the Company, return to the Company all materials and property removed from or belonging to the Company and Employee will not retain copies of any of such materials and property;

(f)Scope of Covenants. The patties desire for the restrictive covenants, including any time period and geographic scope, to be construed as broadly as permitted by applicable law. It is the parties' intent, and a critical inducement to the Company entering into this Agreement, to protect and preserve the Company's legitimate interests, and thus the parties agree that the time period and the geographic coverage and scope of the post-employment restrictions herein are reasonable and necessary. However, if a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the time period of any of the foregoing post-employment restrictions is too lengthy, the geographic scope is too broad, or the agreement overreaches in any way, the parties authorize and respectfully ask the court to modify or, if modification is not possible, strike the offending portion, but only that portion, and grant the relief reasonably necessary to protect the Company's interests so as to achieve the original intent of the parties.

 

(g)Remedies. Employee agrees that a threatened or existing violation of any of the post-employment restrictions contained in this Agreement would cause the Company irreparable injury for which it would have no adequate remedy at law and agrees that the Company will be entitled to obtain injunctive relief prohibiting such violation, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity. The real or perceived existence of any claim or cause of action against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or some other basis, will not alleviate Employee of Employee's obligations under this Agreement and will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of post-employment restrictions contained herein.

 

(h)Tolling of Time Periods. Employee agrees that in the event Employee violates any subsection of Section 5 of this Agreement as to which there is a specific time period during which Employee is prohibited from ce1tain actions and activities, such violation shall toll the running of such time period from the date of such violation until the date the violation ceases.

Exhibit 10.2

 

 

 

(i)Inevitable Use of Proprietary Information. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, after Employee's separation of employment, Employee will possess the Company's Proprietary Information which Employee would inevitably use if Employee were to engage in the conduct prohibited by Section 5 (including each of its sub-sections), that such use would be unfair and extremely detrimental to the Company and, in view of the benefits provided to Employee in this Agreement, that such conduct on his or her part would be inequitable. Accordingly, Employee separately and severally agrees for the benefit of the Company to be bound by each of the covenants described above.

 

6.Reasonable Restrictions. Employee acknowledges that it is necessary and appropriate for the Company to protect its legitimate business interests by restricting Employee's ability to engage in certain competitive activities and any violation of such post-employment restrictions would result in irreparable i1tjury to the Company's legitimate business interests.

The parties agree that the post-employment restrictions contained in this Agreement are drafted narrowly to safeguard the Company's legitimate business interests while not unreasonably interfering with Employee's ability to obtain other employment.

 

7.Entire Agreement. No representation, promise, understanding, or warranty not set forth herein has been made or relied upon by either party in making this Agreement. No modification, amendment or addition will be valid, unless set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such modification, amendment or addition is sought. Notwithstanding, this Agreement supersedes any prior confidentiality agreements or restrictive covenants between the Company and Employee provided however that if a court of competent jurisdiction refuses to enforce this Agreement, then the parties agree that the term of any prior confidentiality or restrictive covenants shall govern.

 

8.At Will Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a contract of employment for any given duration. The relationship between the Company and Employee shall be employment-at-will and either the Company or Employee may terminate it at any time for any reason without liability.

 

9.Subsequent Employment. In order to protect the Company's rights under this Agreement, Employee agrees that:

 

(a)For a period of 12 months following the termination of Employee's employment with the Company, Employee shall advise the Company with respect to any new employment by Employee's. Employee is aware that the Company may contact Employee's prospective or subsequent employers and inform them of this Agreement or any other policy or employment agreement between Employee and the Company that may be in effect on Employee's last day of employment. Employee understands that Employee has a duty to contact the Company if Employee has any questions regarding whether or not conduct by Employee would be restricted by this Agreement.

 

(b)Employee shall make the terms and conditions of the post-employment restrictions in this Agreement known to any business, entity or persons engaged in activities competitive with the Company's business with which Employee becomes associated during

 

7

 


Exhibit 10.2

 

 

 

 

Employee's employment with the Company and in the 12 month period after the termination of Employee ' s employment.

 

10.Assignment of Agreement. The Company may assign this Agreement, its rights, interests and remedies under this Agreement, and its obligations under this Agreement, to any

successor or purchaser of the Company or any division or business of the Company in the discretion of the Company and without notice to Employee. The validity of this Agreement will not be affected by the sale (whether via a stock or asset sale), merger, or any other change in ownership of the Company. Employee understands that Employee's obligations under this Agreement are personal, and that Employee may not assign this Agreement, or any of Employee's rights, interests, or obligations under this Agreement.

 

11.Non-Waiver. No failure or delay by any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any singl e or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein will be cumulative and in addition to any rights or remedies provided by law or equity.

 

12.Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.

 

13.Consent To Jurisdiction. The parties expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of Illinois to resolve any and all disputes arising under the post-employment restrictions contained in Section 5 of this Agreement and hereby waive any right that they might have to object to jurisdiction or venue within such court or any defense based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens. The patties also agree that any and all disputes arising under the post-employment restrictions contained in Section 5 of this Agreement may be resolved in a state or federal court and shall not be subject to arbitration irrespective of any other agreement.

 

14.Counterparts & Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in duplicate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile, electronic (PDF, etc.) and other copies or duplicates of this Agreement are valid and enforceable as originals. Similarly, Agreements signed by hand, electronically (DocuSign or similar service), or, on behalf of the Company, by signature stamp, are valid and enforceable as original signatures.

 

15.Notice of Immunity. Employee understands that nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit Employee from disclosing information, including Proprietary Information, which is permitted to be disclosed by the Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, which provides that an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret (a) made in confidence to a government official, either directly or indirectly , or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (b) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, Employee understands that if Employee files a lawsuit against the Company for retaliation based on the reporting of a

 

8

 


Exhibit 10.2

 

 

 

suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose a trade secret to Employee's attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the trade secret is not disclosed except pursuant to court order. To the extent Employee suspects a violation of the law, Employee should report their suspicion to an officer of the Company or in accordance with relevant the Company policies.

 

I6.Return of the Company Property.At the request of the Company (or, without any request, upon termination of my employment with the Company), Employee will immediately deliver to the Company (a) all the Company property that is then in Employee's possession, custody or control, including, without limit action, all keys, access cards, cell phones, tablets, computer hardware including but not limited to any hard drives, external storage devices, diskettes, fobs, laptops , tablets, computers and personal data assistants (and the contents thereof), internet connectivity devices, computer software and programs, data, materials, papers, books, files , documents, records; (b) any and all documents or other items containing, summarizing, or describing any Proprietary Information, including all originals and copies in whatever form; (c) any personal device that Employee synced with or used to access any the Company system for purpose of inspection and copying; and (d) a list of passwords or codes needed to operate or access any of the items referenced in this Section 16.

 

17.Promotional Materials. Employee authorizes and consents to, during the term of Employee' s employment with the Company, the creation and/or use of Employee's likeness as well as Employee' s name by the Company, and persons or organizations authorized by it, without reservation or limitation and without further consideration. Pursuant to this authorization and consent, the Company may, for example, use Employee's likeness on its website, and publish and distribute advertising, sales, or other promotional literature containing a liken ess of Employee in the course of performing Employee's job duties. Employee also waives any cause of action for personal injury and/or property damage by virtue of the creation and use of such a likeness. Property rights to any likeness of Employee produced or prepared by the Company, or any person or organization authorized by it, shall vest in and remain with the Company. As used herein, " likeness" shall include a photograph, photographic reproduction, audio transmission, audio recording, video transmission and/or video recording, as well as any other similar medium.

DATE:JULY 8, 2019

 

SUBJECT:PLANNED ISSUANCE OF RESTRICTED STOCK

 

 

 

 

As we have discussed, a critical component of our ongoing business strategy for Pactiv LLC will be to explore opportunities for the business that could lead to an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the business, either as a stand-alone business or as part of a combined entity with other RGHL businesses, or potentially a divestiture of the associated business entities. Your assistance is needed by Pactiv as we work through this process to help prepare the business for a successful transaction.

 

If the IPO is successful, the company whose shares are registered in the IPO will issue you Restricted Stock at the completion of the IPO. The number of shares in this grant equals $231,750 divided by the IPO price as of the date of the grant, rounded to the nearest whole share. Vesting for the restricted stock will occur over a 3-year period with 1/3 vesting after 12-months from the successful IP0; 1/3 vesting after 24-months from the successful IPO; and, 1/3 vesting after 36-months from the successful IPO. You must be an employee of the Company or one of its affiliates on the applicable vesting date to receive such shares.

 

Should there be a business sale instead of an IPO, you will receive $231,750 in cash in lieu of Restricted Stock. For purposes hereof, a business sale means a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (or, if the Company has been combined with another RGHL entity, of that combined entity) or a sale of more than 50% of the equity of the Company or such entity. This cash payment will be made in the following manner:

 

½ Payable 30-days post-closing of the sale

 

½ Payable 180-days post-closing of the sale

 

This memo does not change your status as an "at-will" employee and does not guarantee your employment for any specific period of time. The Company reserves the right to terminate you at any time and for any or no reason. Any Restricted Stock issued or cash payment made pursuant to this memo shall be subject to regular tax withholdings and other authorized deductions and will not be treated as compensation for any purpose under any benefit plans or programs, unless statutorily required.

 

This memo is provided to summarize the agreement that has been reached in this regard between the Company and the employee. Should an IPO be completed, a formal grant letter for the Restricted Stock will be provided to the employee that documents all terms and conditions related to the grant.
