LUXEMBOURG, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Further to the previous announcement of Ardagh Group S.A. (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, “Ardagh“) regarding its successful consent solicitations, which obtained the approval of over 99% of the holders of Ardagh’s senior secured notes and senior unsecured notes, Ardagh is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amicable agreement (the “Amicable Agreement“) with its financial creditors and other stakeholders. The Amicable Agreement, which documents the terms of the recapitalization transaction (the “Transaction“) that Ardagh previously announced on July 28, 2025, was filed today by Ardagh Group S.A. with the Luxembourg courts.1
In accordance with the terms of the Transaction and the Amicable Agreement, the settlement date of the Transaction is set for today and Ardagh expects its completion later in the day.
The Transaction, as documented in the Amicable Agreement, is expected to significantly improve Ardagh’s capital structure, by lowering its debt and transforming its maturity profile, underpinning its position as a leading provider of glass and metal packaging to its beverage, food and other customers globally.
