The Baldwin Group Announces Successful Pricing with Improved Terms for $840 Million Term Loan B and $600 Million Revolver

The Baldwin Group, the go-to-market brand name for The Baldwin Insurance Group, Inc. (formerly BRP Group, Inc.) (“Baldwin,” “we” or “our”) (NASDAQ: BRP), today announced that its subsidiary, The Baldwin Insurance Group Holdings, LLC (“Baldwin Holdings”), successfully priced a new $840 million senior secured first lien term loan facility maturing on or about May 24, 2031 (the “new term loan facility”) and a new $600 million senior secured first lien revolving facility maturing on or about May 24, 2029 (the “new revolving facility” and, together with the new term loan facility, the “new credit facilities”).

The new term loan facility will bear interest at term SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 325 bps, with a margin step-down to 300 bps at a first lien net leverage ratio of 4.00x or below. The new revolving facility will bear interest at term SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 bps, plus an applicable margin between 200 bps and 300 bps.

Baldwin Holdings intends to use the net proceeds from the new term loan facility, together with the expected net proceeds from the previously priced $600 million offering of senior secured notes due 2031 (the “new notes”) and cash on hand, to repay in full the entire outstanding amounts of borrowings under its existing credit facilities, to settle its contingent earnout liabilities as they become due and to pay related fees, costs, expenses and accrued interest, and any remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes. We expect the new credit facilities and the offering of the new notes to close on or about May 24, 2024 (the “closing date”), subject to customary closing conditions, including the finalization and execution of definitive documentation.

The following tables show our long-term debt as of March 31, 2024 and as expected as of the closing date:

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release may contain various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical facts and may include statements that address our future operating, financial or business performance or our strategies, expectations, anticipated achievements or ability to raise or refinance debt. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential,” “outlook” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs and involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements.

Factors that could cause actual results or performance to differ from the expectations expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Baldwin’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in Baldwin’s other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available free of charge on the SEC’s website at: www.sec.gov, including those risks and other factors relevant to our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the risk that we will not be able to incur the new credit facilities or the new notes in a timely manner or at all, the risk that we will be unable to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the new credit facilities and the offering of the new notes, and the risk that we will be unable to pay down the balance of our existing credit facilities as intended. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated. All forward-looking statements and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law.
