Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an

Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On September 3, 2026, Graphic Packaging International, LLC (“Graphic Packaging” or the “Company”), the primary operating subsidiary of Graphic Packaging Holding Company, entered into a loan agreement with the Mission Economic Development Corporation (“MEDC”) for the proceeds of the MEDC’s offering of $115.2 million aggregate principal amount of
tax-exempt
“green” bonds due 2064 with a mandatory purchase date of June 1, 2030 (the
“Tax-Exempt
Green Bonds”). The offering was executed through the MEDC Private Activity Bond Program.
The
Tax-Exempt
Green Bonds were issued at a premium of 2.677% and bear interest at an annual rate of 5.00%. Net proceeds will be approximately $116.2 million after underwriters’ discount and other fees and expenses. The equivalent
all-in
yield will be 4.17%. The
Tax-Exempt
Green Bonds will be special, limited obligations of the MEDC (as issuer) and will be payable from and secured by a pledge of payments to be made under the Loan Agreement by and between the MEDC and Graphic Packaging. The Company will use the net proceeds to pay down its higher cost senior secured revolving facility.
