Indenture for 8.000% Senior Notes Due 2029

On October 7, 2024, Mativ Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") closed its previously announced private offering of $400,000,000 of its 8.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "Notes"). The Notes were sold in a private placement in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to a purchase agreement between the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company's existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that is a borrower under or that guarantees obligations under the Company's senior secured credit facilities or that guarantees certain other indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of October 7, 2024, among the Company, the guarantors listed therein and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture provides that interest on the Notes will accrue from October 7, 2024 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2025, and the Notes mature on October 1, 2029, subject to earlier repurchase or redemption.

At any time prior to October 1, 2026, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus a "make-whole" premium as set forth in the Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time on or after October 1, 2026, at the applicable redemption price (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month periodbeginning on October 1 of each of the years indicated below.

In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40.000% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes at any time prior to October 1, 2026 with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.000% of the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In the event of certain events that constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), the Company must offer to repurchase all of the Notes (unless otherwise redeemed) at a price equal to 101.000% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. If the Company sells assets under certain circumstances and does not use the proceeds for specified purposes, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at 100.000% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, make certain dividends, repurchase Company stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate and enter into transactions with the Company's affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture. Most of these covenants will be suspended for so long as the Notes have investment grade ratings from any two of S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings, Inc., and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture.

The Indenture also contains certain customary events of default, including failure to make payments in respect of the principal amount of the Notes, failure to make payments of interest on the Notes when due and payable, failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If any of these events of default were to occur, it would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The Company does not intend to issue registered notes and guarantees in exchange for the Notes and the related guarantees.

Use of Proceeds

The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (i) to redeem its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2026 ("2026 Notes") and (ii) to repay approximately $43 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding borrowings under the term loan B facility under its credit agreement.

Certain of the initial purchasers and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking, commercial banking and other financial advisory and commercial dealings with the Company and its affiliates, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and reimbursements of expenses. Certain of the initial purchasers and/or their affiliates are lenders and/or agents under the Company's senior credit facilities and/or holders of the 2026 Notes and, accordingly, will receive a portion of the net proceeds from the offering.
