Pretium Packaging, L.L.C., et al. - Chapter 11 Plan Terms
Pretium Packaging's prepackaged restructuring plan centers on a comprehensive delevering transaction whereby Consenting Lenders equitize their First Lien Tranche A-1 and Second Lien claims to enable full unsecured creditor recoveries, facilitated by DIP term loan financing, exit ABL and term loan facilities, and a $50 million new money equity investment securing 21.9% ownership for the New Money Investor alongside equity premiums distributed to DIP term loan lenders (Participation Premium) and Backstop Parties (Backstop Premium).
RSA Terms
Overview
- The Debtors entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement ("RSA"), dated as of December 30, 2025, with the Consenting Stakeholders, including all exhibits, schedules, and other attachments thereto.
- The Consenting Stakeholders include:
- The Consenting Lenders (also referred to as Consenting Creditors)
- The Consenting Equity Holders

- For months prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Consenting Stakeholders worked constructively with the Debtors to negotiate and implement a value-maximizing reorganization embodied in the Plan.
