The aggregate principal amount of notes to be issued in the offering was increased to $800 million from the previously announced amount of $775 million. The notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s immediate parent company, Chobani Global Holdings, LLC (the “Parent Guarantor”) and by each of the Parent Guarantor’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, to the extent such entities are borrowers or guarantors under the Company’s first lien credit agreement or certain capital markets debt. Completion of the offering is expected to occur on April 20, 2026, and is subject to, among other things, standard closing and market conditions.
Chobani intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to pay a dividend, and repay its promissory note (including accrued interest), to Chobani Parent, LLC (“Chobani Parent”), an indirect parent of Chobani, which intends to use the funds, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of the 8.750% / 9.500% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2029 (the “PIK notes”) of Chobani Holdco II, LLC, a subsidiary of Chobani Parent and an indirect parent of Chobani, and to pay related fees and expenses.

The notes to be offered will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any other state securities laws.
