Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On June 4, 2026 (the “Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date”), Resideo Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into that certain Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement, by and among the Company, Resideo Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation, Resideo Intermediate Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation, Resideo Funding Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the lenders and issuing banks party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement”), which amended and restated in its entirety that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2021 (as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated by the Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Refinancing”).
The Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement was entered into in order to, among other changes, facilitate the previously disclosed proposed spin-off of the Company’s ADI Global Distribution segment to its common shareholders.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing of up to approximately $2,827 million, consisting of:
| ● | an existing senior secured term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $518 million (the “Initial Term Loan Facility”); |
| ● | an existing senior secured term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $590 million (the “Fourth Amendment Term Loan Facility”); |
| ● | an existing senior secured term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,219 million (the “Sixth Amendment Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Initial Term Loan Facility and the Fourth Amendment Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”, and the loans incurred under the Term Loan facilities, the “Term Loans”); and |
| ● | a new senior secured revolving credit facility, which refinanced in full the existing senior secured revolving credit facility, which provides for commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million, which are undrawn as of the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). |
Up to $75 million may be utilized under the Revolving Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit for the benefit of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. Letters of credit are available for issuance under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on terms and conditions customary for financings of this kind, which issuances will reduce the available funds under the Revolving Credit Facility. The letters of credit and Revolving Credit Facility are available for working capital and other general corporate purposes from time to time after the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility.
There were no new borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities on the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date.
Guarantees
All obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally, by: (a) the Company and (b) substantially all of the direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company that are organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
1
Security
Subject to certain limitations, the Senior Credit Facilities are secured on a first priority basis by: (a) a perfected security interest in the equity interests of each direct subsidiary of the Borrower and each Guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities (subject to certain customary exceptions) and (b) perfected security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible personal property and material real property of the Borrower and each of the Guarantors under the Senior Credit Facilities, subject, in each case, to certain exceptions.
Maturity
The Revolving Credit Facility matures five years after the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, with certain extension rights in the discretion of each lender. The Initial Term Loan Facility matures February 12, 2028, the Fourth Amendment Term Loan Facility matures June 14, 2031, and the Sixth Amendment Term Loan Facility matures August 13, 2032, in each case with certain extension rights in the discretion of each lender.
Interest Rate and Fees
The Senior Credit Facilities are subject to an interest rate, at the Borrower’s option, of either (a) base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the United States, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.5% and (3) the one month SOFR rate, plus 1% per annum (“ABR”) or (b) a SOFR rate (“SOFR”) (which shall not be less than zero).
The applicable margin for the Term Loan Facilities is (a) before the separation of the Company’s ADI Global Distribution business from its products and solutions business completed through a pro rata distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of ADI Global Distribution Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to the Company’s common stockholders and the making of a distribution by ADI Global Distribution Inc., the proceeds of which shall be applied to voluntarily prepay the Term Loans (the “ADI Spin-Off Transaction”), 2.00% per annum (for SOFR loans) and 1.00% per annum (for ABR loans) and (b) after the ADI Spin-Off Transaction is consummated, 2.25% per annum (for SOFR loans) and 1.25% per annum (for ABR loans). The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility varies from 2.00% per annum to 1.50% per annum (for SOFR loans) and 1.00% to 0.50% per annum (for ABR loans) based on the leverage ratio under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the interest rates for the Senior Credit Facilities will fluctuate during the term of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement based on changes in the ABR, SOFR or future changes in the leverage ratio thereunder. Interest payments with respect to the Term Loan Facility are required to be made either on a quarterly basis (for ABR loans) or at the end of each interest period (for SOFR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is determined by the leverage ratio under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and ranges from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum.
The Borrower is obligated to make quarterly principal payments throughout the term of the Term Loan Facility according to the amortization provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as such payments may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as a result of the application of loan prepayments made thereunder, if any, prior to the scheduled date of payment thereof.
Prepayments
The Borrower may voluntarily prepay borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement without premium or penalty, subject to customary “breakage” costs with respect to SOFR loans. The Borrower may also reduce the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, in whole or in part, in each case, subject to certain minimum amounts and increments.
2
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions in the event that the Company or its subsidiaries incur certain types of indebtedness, receive net cash proceeds from certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property or 50% of excess cash flow on an annual basis (with step-downs to 25% and 0% subject to compliance with certain leverage ratios), in each case subject to thresholds, terms and conditions customary for financings of this kind.
Representations and Warranties
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties (subject to certain agreed qualifications), including, among others, (a) status, binding obligations, non-conflict with other obligations, and power and authority, (b) solvency, taxation and litigation matters, (c) disclosure, (d) property ownership, (e) investment company status, (f) government approvals, (g) environmental matters and (h) compliance with sanctions and anti-corruption laws.
Certain Covenants
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type that, among other things, limit certain activities or actions, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness or liens, dispositions of assets, making of certain fundamental changes, entering into restrictive agreements, making certain investments, making certain loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, prepaying certain indebtedness, paying dividends or making certain other distributions or redemptions/repurchases on certain equity interests, engaging in transactions with affiliates or amending certain material documents.
In addition, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility requiring the maintenance of a consolidated total leverage ratio not to exceed (i) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company (each such date, a “CTLR Testing Date”) prior to the fiscal quarter in which the ADI Spin-Off Transaction is consummated, 3.50:1.00, (ii) 4.75:1.00 for the first two CTLR Testing Dates ending after the date on which the ADI Spin-Off Transaction is consummated, (iii) 4.50:1.00 for the third and fourth CTLR Testing Dates ending after the date on which the ADI Spin-Off Transaction is consummated, (iv) 4.25:1.00 for the fifth and sixth CTLR Testing Dates ending after the date on which the ADI Spin-Off Transaction is consummated and (v) 4.00:1.00, provided, that, at the election of the Borrower, the maximum permitted total leverage ratio pursuant to the foregoing clauses (iv) and (v) may be increased to 4.50:1.00 for the first four CTLR Testing Dates following the consummation of any merger, amalgamation, acquisition or similar investment or consolidation (or series of related transactions), in any such case, by the Company or, any subsidiary restricted under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, that involves aggregate consideration greater than or equal to $250 million), and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00.
Events of Default
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including with respect to a failure to make payments under the Senior Credit Facilities, cross-default, certain bankruptcy and insolvency events and customary change of control events.
