Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Conversion and Repurchase Agreement

On February 28, 2024, APi Group Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Conversion and Repurchase Agreement (the “Conversion and Repurchase Agreement”) with Juno Lower Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Juno Lower Holdings”), FD Juno Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“FD Juno Holdings”, and together with Juno Lower Holdings, the “Blackstone Parties”), Viking Global Equities Master Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“VGEM”), and Viking Global Equities II LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“VGE II”, and collectively with VGEM, the “Viking Parties” and collectively with the Blackstone Parties, the “Series B Holders” and each, a “Series B Holder”). Pursuant to the Conversion and Repurchase Agreement, (i) each of the Series B Holders exercised its respective right to effect an Optional Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the 5.5% Series B Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series B Preferred Shares”) (the “Certificate of Designation”) with respect to all of such Series B Holder’s Series B Preferred Shares, at the conversion price of $24.60 per share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), (ii) the Company shall issue to the Series B Holders an aggregate of 32,803,519 shares of Common Stock upon conversion (inclusive of approximately 283,196 shares attributable to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon), and (iii) the Company shall immediately thereafter repurchase an aggregate of 16,260,160 shares of Common Stock from the Series B Holders for a price of $36.90 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $600 million (the “Share Repurchase”), with the Blackstone Parties receiving $450 million in value and the Viking Parties receiving $150 million in value. The shares of Common Stock subject to the repurchase consist of 12,195,121 shares from the Blackstone Parties and 4,065,039 shares from the Viking Parties. Following the conversion there are no Series B Preferred Shares issued or outstanding.

The Company funded the Share Repurchase through a combination of (i) an incremental term loan facility under the Company’s existing Credit Agreement (as defined below) in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million that was issued at par and shall be fungible with the existing 2021 Incremental Term Loans to the Blackstone Parties, in the amount of $225 million, and to the Viking Parties, in the amount of $75 million, (ii) a drawdown under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility and (iii) cash on hand.

Pursuant to the Conversion and Repurchase Agreement, the Series B Holders intend to effect an underwritten secondary public offering of approximately 8,130,082 shares of Common Stock held by them (plus any additional shares that may be sold pursuant to any option granted to the underwriters) pursuant to and in accordance with the Company’s obligations under the respective registration rights agreements between the Company and the Series B Holders. The Series B Holders also agreed to a 90-day lock-up on all shares of Common Stock owned by them other than shares repurchased by the Company in the Share Repurchase or sold in the secondary public offering and other customary exceptions.

Incremental Term Loan Financing

On February 28, 2024, the Company and its wholly owned borrower subsidiary, APi Group DE, Inc., (“Borrower”) entered into Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 5”) by and among Borrower, the Company, as a guarantor, the Company subsidiary guarantors named therein, Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent and as administrative agent, the Blackstone Parties and the Viking Parties as lenders, which amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2020, Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated December 16, 2021, Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated May 19, 2023, and Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement, dated October 11, 2023, by and among Borrower, the Company, the Company subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders and letter of credit issuers from time to time party thereto, and Citibank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to Amendment No. 5, the 2021 Incremental Term Loans incurred by the Borrower under Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (the “2021 Incremental Term Loans”) were upsized by an aggregate principal amount equal to $300 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) and issued at par and shall be fungible with the existing 2021 Incremental Term Loans, which loan proceeds were directed exclusively to the Blackstone Parties and the Viking Parties as consideration for a portion of the purchase price for the Share Repurchase.

The interest rate applicable to the Incremental Term Loan is the same as the 2021 Incremental Term Loans: at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.50% per annum or (b) a Term


SOFR rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an applicable margin equal to 2.50% per annum plus a credit spread adjustment. The Incremental Term Loan matures on January 3, 2029, consistent with the maturity date of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans.

All other terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, will remain unchanged.

The foregoing descriptions of the Conversion and Repurchase Agreement and Amendment No. 5 do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Conversion and Repurchase Agreement and Amendment No. 5, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 6.11 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to Law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance.

Section 6.12 Waiver. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence. Any Party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by any other Party or Parties hereto with any term or provision hereof on the part of such other party or parties hereto to be performed or complied with. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

Section 6.13 Obligations Several. All obligations of the Series B Holders under this Agreement shall be several, and not joint and several.

Section 6.14 No Group. The Blackstone Parties and the Viking Parties do not intend to form a group withing the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as the Blackstone Parties and the Viking Parties acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock or the Common Stock.

Exhibit 10.2

AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

This AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of February 28, 2024 (together with the schedule hereto, this “Amendment”), is entered into by and among APi Group DE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), APi Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), certain subsidiaries of the Borrower party hereto, Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent and administrative agent (in such respective capacities, the “Collateral Agent” and the “Administrative Agent”; collectively, the “Agent”), and the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders (as defined below) party hereto. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Existing Credit Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2019, by and among Holdings, the Borrower, the Agent, the lending institutions parties thereto and the other agents and entities party thereto (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2020, Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated December 16, 2021, Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated May 19, 2023, and Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement, dated October 11, 2023, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

B. The Borrower has requested and the lenders identified on Schedule 1 hereto (the “2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders”) have agreed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Incremental Term Loans denominated in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement, and such Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to have been made (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be on a cashless basis) as consideration for the repurchase of certain shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement (as defined below)) of Holdings held by such 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders (or their respective Affiliates), pursuant to that certain Conversion and Repurchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Holdings and the Series B Holders (as defined therein) party thereto (the “Repurchase Agreement”) (such transaction, the “Repurchase”).

C. The Borrower intends to incur the 2024 Incremental Term Loans (as defined below) as consideration for the Repurchase and thereby effect the cancellation and retirement of certain Common Stock (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement) of Holdings held by such 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders (or their respective Affiliates) pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.

D. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties party hereto (each, a “Reaffirming Party” and, collectively, the “Reaffirming Parties”) expects to realize substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and desires to reaffirm its obligations pursuant to the Collateral Documents to which it is a party.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

SECTION 1. 2024 Incremental Term Loans

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the Existing Credit Agreement, each 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lender shall be deemed to have made, on a several and not joint basis, Incremental Term Loans (the “2024 Incremental Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date (as defined below) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lender’s name on Schedule 1 annexed hereto.


(b) This Amendment shall constitute (i) the notice required pursuant to Section 2.14(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement and shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements set forth therein and (ii) an Incremental Amendment referenced in and for purposes of Section 2.14(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

(c) Except as set forth herein, the terms of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be the same as the terms of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment (the “Existing Term Loans”) (including, without limitation, with respect to the Base Rate, the Applicable Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR and the 2021 Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date) and, after the Closing Date, the 2024 Incremental Term Loans and the Existing Term Loans shall constitute one tranche and Class of Term Loans. Upon the Closing Date, the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders shall each be a 2021 Incremental Term Loan Lender for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement, with an outstanding 2021 Incremental Term Loan. Following the Closing Date, each reference to “2021 Incremental Term Loans” in the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be a reference to the Existing Term Loans and the 2024 Incremental Term Loans, and each reference to “2021 Incremental Term Loan Lenders” in the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall include the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders, in each case, unless the context shall require otherwise, and each 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lender shall have the rights and obligations of a “2021 Incremental Term Loan Lender” under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans, when originally deemed made, are 2021 Incremental Term Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent is authorized to mark the Register accordingly to reflect the amendments and adjustments set forth herein.

(d) The 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be a single Term SOFR Loan denominated in Dollars, with an initial Interest Period that commences on the Closing Date and ends on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Existing Term Loans. During such initial Interest Period, Adjusted Term SOFR applicable to the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be the same Adjusted Term SOFR applicable for the Existing Term Loans.

(e) The amortization of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be increased proportionally by the amount of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans deemed made on the Closing Date; provided that, prior optional prepayments of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans shall continue to be applied to reduce such amortization payments as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iii) of the Existing Credit Agreement, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall result in no future amortization payments being due.

(f) The 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be used as set forth in the recitals hereto solely for purposes of the Repurchase.

(g) The Borrower agrees that the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be treated as made at par and fungible with outstanding the Existing Term Loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders acknowledge such treatment and do not intend to take an inconsistent position for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 2. [Reserved].

 

2


SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. Subject to Section 12 below, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties party hereto represent and warrant to the Agent and the Lenders as of the Closing Date that:

(a) The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party party hereto of this Amendment and other documents executed in connection herewith to which such Person is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, are within such Loan Party’s corporate or other powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any material Lien under, or require any material payment to be made under (i) any material Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law that would adversely affect the rights of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents.

(b) This Amendment and each other document executed in connection herewith have been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party hereto and thereto. This Amendment and each other document executed in connection herewith constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against each Loan Party that is a party hereto and thereto in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

(c) (i) Immediately before and after the Closing Date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) all representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article VI of the Existing Credit Agreement or similar provisions in any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates.

(d) Neither the Amended Credit Agreement effected on the Closing Date pursuant to this Amendment nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Amendment: (i) impairs (or will impair as of the Closing Date) the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any Loan Document (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), whether heretofore or hereafter incurred or (ii) requires (or will require as of the Closing Date) that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens (other than any filings in connection with the addition of new Loan Parties and any actions contemplated by Section 7.12 and Section 7.14(b) of the Amended Credit Agreement).

(i) The Administrative Agent shall have received an officer’s certificate certifying that (i) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in Section 3 of this Amendment shall be true and correct in all materials respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) on and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) as of such earlier date, (ii) at the time of the Closing Date (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or would result from the 2024 Incremental Term Loans and (iii) that the condition set forth in Section 4(j) has been satisfied.

SECTION 5. Post-Closing Security. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), (a) subject to Section 12 below, the Loan Parties shall enter into any additional or supplementary Collateral Documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to ensure the continuing Guaranty and the continuing grant, perfection and priority of the security interests under the Collateral Documents (and as may be necessary for counsel to give any opinions referred to in Section 4(d) that are not delivered on the Closing Date), in each case, after giving effect to this Amendment and (b) the Post-Closing Loan Parties shall deliver signature pages or joinders hereto or affirmations hereof reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 6. [Reserved].

SECTION 7. Counterparts. This Amendment and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or e-mail (including “.pdf” or “.tif”) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment and such other Loan Document. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation, amendments, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 8. Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).

SECTION 9. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

SECTION 10. Effect of Amendment.

(a) Until this Amendment becomes effective in accordance with its terms and the Closing Date shall have occurred, the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected hereby. On and after the Closing Date, all obligations of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become obligations of such Borrower under the Amended Credit Agreement and the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement.

(b) Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment or in the Amended Credit Agreement, this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Existing Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document, all of which (as amended by this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement) are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Amended Credit Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances or be construed as a release or other discharge of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities as a “Borrower”, a “Grantor” or a “Guarantor” (or any similar term) under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that it is not their intention that this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents executed or delivered pursuant hereto constitute a novation of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, but a modification thereof pursuant to the terms contained herein.

(c) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, or the Collateral Agent, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Collateral Documents, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other person to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Collateral Documents in similar or different circumstances.

(d) As of the Closing Date, each reference in the Existing Credit Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules thereto) to “the Credit Agreement,” “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, by means of words like “thereunder”, “thereof” and words of like import), shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement. This Amendment (including the schedule hereto) shall constitute a Loan Document (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement both before and after giving effect to the amendment thereof by this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement).

 

7


SECTION 11. Reaffirmation.

Subject to Section 12 below:

(a) Each Reaffirming Party hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement and consents to (i) the amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement and (ii) the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement. Each Reaffirming Party hereby (i) reaffirms its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (ii) reaffirms that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement), the guarantees, pledges, grants of security interests, Liens and other agreements and obligations of such Reaffirming Party and the terms of each of the Collateral Documents and each other Loan Document to which such Reaffirming Party is a party are not impaired or affected in any manner whatsoever and shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Amended Credit Agreement.

(b) Each Reaffirming Party hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall, on and after the Closing Date, constitute, “Obligations” (or any word of like import) under each of the Amended Credit Agreement and Collateral Documents and each other Loan Document, and (ii) the Obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement have been and will continue to be guaranteed pursuant to Article IV of the Amended Credit Agreement and secured pursuant to the Collateral Documents by a legal, valid, binding and enforceable security interest in and a fully perfected continuing Lien on all of such Reaffirming Party’s right, title and interest in, to and under all “Collateral” as defined in the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Each of the Reaffirming Parties hereby confirms that the Agent is authorized to prepare and file all documents, agreements and instruments and take all other actions necessary to satisfy the perfection requirements and to cause the Lien created by each applicable Collateral Document in respect of the Obligations to be duly perfected to the extent required by such agreement in accordance with all applicable Laws, including the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as necessary.

SECTION 12. Dutch Loan Parties.

The obligations, reaffirmation, confirmation, acknowledgement and agreement under Section 11 above (the “Security and Guarantee Confirmation”) shall, in relation to each of Saval B.V., Chubb Fire & Security B.V. and Security Monitoring Centre B.V. (each a “Works Council Loan Party” and collectively the “Works Council Loan Parties”), be subject to completion of the consultation proceedings as required by the Dutch Works Councils Act (Wet op de ondernemingsraden) insofar as the Security and Guarantee Confirmation results in the 2024 Incremental Term Loans being guaranteed and secured pursuant to the Loan Documents by the Works Council Loan Parties (the “Works Council Condition”).

 

8


Subject to the terms of this Amendment, each of the Works Council Loan Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely satisfy or procure the satisfaction of the Works Council Condition as soon as reasonably possible and will notify the Agent in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after the satisfaction of the Works Council Condition.

The Works Council Loan Parties shall inform the Agent in writing of any material developments and issues (including notifying the Agent in writing of any request, commitment or condition raised by the relevant works council).

Prior to completion of the consultation proceedings as required by the Dutch Works Councils Act (Wet op de ondernemingsraden) for any Works Council Loan Party, such Works Council Loan Party shall not guarantee or secure pursuant to the Loan Documents the 2024 Incremental Term Loans.

The existing guarantees, security interests and Loan Documents granted by the Works Council Loan Parties for which advice from the relevant works council has been obtained prior to the date hereof will remain unaffected and will extend to the obligations as amended by this Amendment, except for the 2024 Incremental Term Loans.

SECTION 13. Submission to Jurisdiction; WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. Sections 11.16(b) and (c) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING OR DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 14. FATCA.

(a) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders party hereto hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the 2024 Incremental Term Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(b) The Borrower and the Administrative Agent request each Lender to provide the U.S. federal income tax documentation as required under Section 11.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement (including documentation required under Section 11.14(c) of the Existing Credit Agreement to allow the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment).

APi Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results and Announces Agreement to Retire All Outstanding Series B Preferred Stock from Blackstone and Viking

-Record full year net revenues of $6.9 billion, representing approximately 6% and 5.5% reported and organic growth, respectively, with continued double-digit organic core inspection revenue growth-

-Record reported net income of $153 million and adjusted EBITDA of $782 million for the full year, representing year-over-year net income growth of 110% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 16.2%-

-Full year adjusted free cash flow conversion of 69%, with year-end net leverage ratio of 2.3x-

-Announces $1 Billion Share Repurchase Program-

New Brighton, Minnesota – February 28, 2024 – APi Group Corporation (NYSE: APG) (“APi” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Russ Becker, APi’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “2023 was a year of record financial results for APi. Our global team of 29,000 leaders delivered record net revenues, record adjusted EBITDA margins, and record adjusted free cash flow in an evolving macro environment.”

Becker continued, “The Series B transaction represents another step in our journey to drive value for our investors by simplifying our capital structure, reducing our adjusted diluted share count, and providing immediate accretion to adjusted earnings per share, while having no impact on our focus on opportunistic M&A. We appreciate everything Blackstone and Viking have done to bring this transaction to fruition and look forward to their continued support.

As we look to 2024, we have great confidence in the business, our backlog, and our balance sheet. We believe we are well positioned to deliver strong organic growth, drive margin expansion and improve our free cash flow generation. We have significant flexibility to pursue value-enhancing capital allocation alternatives including, but not limited to, an acceleration of our bolt-on M&A strategy and share repurchases. Longer term, we remain focused on creating sustainable shareholder value by delivering on our “13/60/80” targets, with a near-term focus on generating adjusted EBITDA margins of 13% or more in 2025.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights

 

   

Reported net revenue growth of 3.3% (1.5% organic) driven by service growth across both segments, as well as modest benefits from favorable foreign currency exchange rates and M&A, partially offset by disciplined customer and project selection leading to a decline in our projects business.

 

   

Reported and adjusted gross margin increased 170 and 230 basis points, respectively, compared to prior year period due to continued price increases, outsized growth in higher margin service revenue as well as significant margin expansion in our projects business across both segments.

 

   

Reported net income was $25 million and diluted EPS was $(1.08). Adjusted net income was $120 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.44, representing a 22.2% increase from prior year period driven by significant adjusted gross margin expansion, and decreased interest expense.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 13.7% compared to the prior year period and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 110 basis points to 11.8%, primarily due to the factors impacting gross margin, partially offset by investments to support profitable growth and the investment in building our global capabilities and infrastructure.

2023 Highlights

 

   

Reported net revenue growth of 5.6% (5.4% organic) driven by strong service growth across both segments, partially offset by disciplined customer and project selection in our HVAC and Specialty Services businesses.

 

   

Reported and adjusted gross margin increased 190 and 180 basis points, respectively, compared to prior year period due to continued price increases, outsized growth in higher margin service revenue as well as margin expansion in both our projects and services businesses across both segments.

 

   

Reported net income was $153 million and diluted EPS was $(0.68). Adjusted net income was $430 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $1.58, representing a 18.8% increase from prior year period driven by significant adjusted gross margin expansion in both Safety and Specialty Services, resulting from the factors mentioned above, partially offset by increased interest expense.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 16.2% compared to the prior year period and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 100 basis points to 11.3%, primarily due to the factors impacting gross margin, partially offset by investments to support profitable growth and the investment in building our global capabilities and infrastructure.

Guidance

APi Group announces initial full year 2024 guidance for net revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow conversion.

 

   

Net Revenues of $7,050 to $7,250 million

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $855 to $905 million

 

   

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion of approximately 70%

APi Group announces guidance for the first quarter of 2024.

 

   

Net Revenues of $1,560 to $1,610 million

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $165 to $180 million

Series B Preferred Stock Retirement Transaction

APi has reached an agreement with shareholders affiliated with Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Fund (“Blackstone”) and Viking Global Equities (“Viking”) to retire all of the outstanding shares of their Series B Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Under the terms of the agreement, Blackstone and Viking will each exercise their respective right to convert all of their Series B Preferred Stock into common stock of APi, resulting in a total of 800,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted into approximately 32.5 million shares of common stock of APi (the “Conversion Shares”).

Upon issuance of the Conversion Shares, APi will repurchase 16.3 million, or one-half, of the Conversion Shares (on a pro rata basis) from Blackstone and Viking for an aggregate purchase price of $600 million. The transaction is expected to be financed by (i) an incremental term facility of $300 million issued at par; (ii) cash on hand and available credit.

As a part of the agreement, Blackstone and Viking intend to effect a coordinated secondary public offering with the goal of selling approximately 8.1 million shares of APi’s common stock. Following the sale, it is expected that any remaining common shares owned by Blackstone and Viking would be subject to a 90-day lockup.

The transaction is expected to provide substantial benefits to APi and its common stockholders:

 

   

Simplifies APi Group’s capital structure

 

   

Preserves our strong, opportunistic balance sheet

 

   

Reduces adjusted diluted share count by 16.3 million shares

 

   

Provides immediate accretion to adjusted earnings per share

 

   

Eliminates preferred dividend payments of $44 million annually

 

   

Not expected to impact reacceleration of bolt-on M&A strategy

 

   

Opportunity to attract new long-term investors to diversify the Company’s investor base

New Share Repurchase Authorization

The Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program to purchase up to an aggregate of $1 billion of shares of the Company’s common stock, of which $600 million will be utilized in the Series B Preferred Stock repurchase. The timing, amount and manner of any repurchases under the new repurchase program will be determined at the discretion of the Company’s management based on a number of factors, including the availability of capital, capital allocation alternatives, and market conditions for the Company’s Class A common stock. The share repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. It may be modified, suspended, extended, or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice and may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and we may enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in connection with such repurchases.

Conclusion

APi Co-Chair James E. Lillie concluded: “2023 was another tremendous year in APi’s development with record net revenues, record adjusted EBITDA, record reported and adjusted earnings per share and record adjusted free cash flow. Our strategy of evolving away from lower margin, higher risk opportunities while focusing investments on service revenue expansion continues to yield the desired results – margin expansion and stronger free cash flow generation. With the progress made throughout the year reducing our net leverage ratio to 2.3x, we are excited to build on our track record of disciplined, predictable, and thoughtful decisions regarding capital allocation, with a primary focus on continuing bolt-on M&A at accretive multiples to supplement organic growth. We are committed to being thoughtful allocators of capital to drive shareholder value creation and to ensuring that the company is in the best possible position to leverage opportunities before it.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-U.S. GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The Company’s management believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the Company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the Company’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (b) permit investors to compare the Company with its peers and (c) determine certain elements of management’s incentive compensation (d) provide consistent period-to-period comparisons of the results. Specifically:

 

   

The Company’s management believes that adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, and one-time and other events such as impairment charges, restructuring costs, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, amortization of intangible assets, net COVID-19 relief, non-service pension benefit, severance related costs related to corporate leadership changes and certain tax benefits from the acquisition of APi Group, Inc. (the “APi Acquisition”) are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations.

 

   

The Company discloses fixed currency net revenues and adjusted EBITDA (“FFX”) on a consolidated basis or segment specific basis to provide a more complete understanding of underlying revenue and adjusted EBITDA trends by providing net revenues and adjusted EBITDA on a consistent basis. Under U.S. GAAP, income statement results are translated in U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates for the period presented. Management believes that the fixed currency non-GAAP measures are useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company’s operational performance, as it excludes the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international results. Fixed currency amounts included in this release are based on translation into U.S. dollars at the fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2023.

 

   

The Company also presents organic changes in net revenues on a consolidated basis or segment specific basis to provide a more complete understanding of underlying revenue trends by providing net revenues on a consistent basis as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, completed divestitures, and changes in foreign currency from year-over-year comparisons on reported net revenues, calculated as the difference between the reported net revenues for the current period and reported net revenues for the current period converted at fixed foreign currency exchange rates (excluding material acquisitions and divestitures). The remainder is divided by prior year fixed currency net revenues, excluding the impacts of completed divestitures.

 

   

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is the measure of profitability used by management to manage its segments and, accordingly, in its segment reporting. The Company supplements the reporting of its consolidated financial information with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of certain non-cash and other specifically identified items (“adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand the Company’s financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. The Company uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated in a manner consistent with segment EBITDA, which is a measure of segment profitability.

 

   

The Company presents free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion, which are liquidity measures used by management as factors in determining the amount of cash that is available for working capital needs or other uses of cash, however, it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus or minus events including, but not limited to, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, payments on acquired liabilities, payments made for restructuring programs, and one-time and other events such as post-measurement period purchase accounting adjustments for acquisitions, COVID-19 related payroll tax deferral and relief items. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA.

 

   

The Company calculates its leverage ratio in accordance with its debt agreements which include different adjustments to EBITDA from those included in the adjusted EBITDA numbers reported externally.

While the Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is included later in this press release.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2023, the Company simplified the presentation of the non-GAAP reconciliations, by combining certain adjustment line items. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to this presentation and the information in the tables below has been retroactively adjusted to reflect these changes in adjustment categories. Specifically, amounts previously classified as “integration and reorganization” have been reclassified and included with “business process transformation,” and prior period amounts classified as “acquisition expenses” and “recent acquisition transition expenses” have been combined and categorized as “acquisition related expenses.”

The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP adjusted EBITDA and growth in organic net revenues to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for acquisitions and divestitures, business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, one-time and other events such as impairment charges, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, net COVID-19 relief, and certain tax benefits from the APi Acquisition, and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

Notes:

 

(a)

Represents the effect of foreign currency on reported net revenues, calculated as the difference between reported net revenues and net revenues at fixed currencies for both periods. Fixed currency amounts are based on translation into U.S. Dollars at fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2023.

 

(b)

Amount represents the year-over-year change when comparing both years after eliminating the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by translating foreign currency denominated results at fixed foreign currency (“FFX”) rates for both periods.

 

(c)

Adjustment to exclude net revenues from material acquisitions from their respective dates of acquisition until the first year anniversary from date of acquisition and net revenues from divestitures for all periods for businesses divested as of December 31, 2023.

 

(d)

Organic change in net revenues provides a consistent basis for a year-over-year comparison in net revenues as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, divestitures, and the impact of changes due to foreign currency translation.
