6 terms
spin-off financial
"has formally approved the planned spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of its ADI Global"
A spin-off happens when a company creates a new, independent business by separating part of itself, like splitting off a division into its own company. This often happens so the new company can focus better on its own goals or attract different investors. It matters because it can lead to more growth opportunities and clearer focus for both companies.
View in glossary
record date financial
"has set a record date of July 20, 2026 (the "Record Date") and a distribution"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
when-issued financial
"will begin trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "ADIG WI" on a "when-issued" basis"
"When-issued" refers to a situation where new bonds or stocks are announced and traded before they are officially available to buy. It’s like reserving a ticket for a concert before the tickets are printed, allowing investors to buy or sell these future securities in advance. This helps everyone plan ahead and see how much interest there is before the actual sale happens.
senior notes financial
"offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2034"
Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.
term loan facility financial
"entered into a $600 million senior secured term B loan facility (the "Term Facility")"
A term loan facility is a type of loan provided by a lender that is repaid over a set period of time, usually with fixed payments. It functions like a large, upfront loan that a borrower agrees to pay back gradually, often used to fund major investments or projects. For investors, understanding a company's use of such loans helps assess its financial stability and risk level.
revolving credit facility financial
"a $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility")"
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

  • ADI completes $400 million senior notes offering and enters into a credit agreement with respect to a $600 million term loan facility and a $500 million revolving facility in connection with the planned spin-off

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: REZI) ("Resideo") today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has formally approved the planned spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of its ADI Global Distribution business. The Board also has set a record date of July 20, 2026 (the "Record Date") and a distribution date of August 3, 2026, in connection with the Spin-Off.

To execute the Spin-Off, Resideo will distribute all of the issued and outstanding shares of ADI Global Distribution Inc. ("ADI") common stock pro rata to Resideo common shareholders of record on the Record Date. The distribution will occur at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on August 3, 2026 (the "Distribution Date"), on the basis of a distribution ratio of one share of ADI common stock for every two shares of Resideo common stock held as of the close of business on the Record Date.

Following the distribution, ADI common stock is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on August 4, 2026, under the ticker symbol "ADIG." Resideo will continue to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "REZI."

Completion of the Spin-Off is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the form of Separation and Distribution Agreement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as part of the registration statement on Form 10.

The Spin-Off is expected to be tax-free to Resideo shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except for cash that shareholders may receive in lieu of fractional shares.

No vote or action is required by Resideo's common shareholders to receive the special stock dividend of shares of ADI common stock. The ADI common stock issued in the distribution will be in book-entry form. Resideo common shareholders who hold their shares through brokers or other nominees will have their shares of ADI common stock credited to their accounts by their nominees or brokers.

Resideo plans to send an information statement regarding this transaction to common shareholders on or around July 20, 2026. The information statement will include details on the distribution and will be posted under the Investor Relations tab on Resideo's website at: https://investor.resideo.com/overview/default.aspx

When-Issued Trading Market

Resideo anticipates that ADI common stock will begin trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "ADIG WI" on a "when-issued" basis on or about July 29, 2026. ADI common stock is expected to begin "regular-way" trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "ADIG" on August 4, 2026.

Shares of Resideo common stock are expected to continue to trade "regular-way" on the NYSE under the current ticker symbol "REZI" through the Distribution Date. However, beginning on July 29, 2026 and continuing through August 3, 2026, it is expected that there will be two markets in Resideo common stock on the NYSE: a "regular-way" market under Resideo's current ticker symbol "REZI," in which Resideo shares will trade with the right to receive shares of ADI common stock on the Distribution Date, and an "ex distribution" market under the ticker symbol "REZI WI", in which Resideo shares will trade without the right to receive shares of ADI common stock on the Distribution Date.

Resideo shareholders are encouraged to consult their financial advisors regarding the specific implications of buying, selling or holding shares of Resideo common stock on or before the Distribution Date.

Completion of ADI's $400 Million Senior Notes Offering and Entry Into Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Resideo also announced the successful closing of the offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2034 (the "Notes") issued by ADI Escrow Issuer LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ADI (the "Escrow Issuer"), on June 30, 2026. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2027, and will mature on July 15, 2034. In connection with the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Notes will be assumed by ADI Global Distribution Funding LLC ("ADI Funding"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ADI, and guaranteed by ADI and each of ADI's subsidiaries that also guarantees the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

In addition, on July 1, 2026, ADI Funding entered into a $600 million senior secured term B loan facility (the "Term Facility") and a $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility" and, together with the Term Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). The Term Facility is expected to be funded on the Distribution Date, subject to customary conditions.

ADI intends to use a portion of the gross proceeds of the Notes, together with borrowings under the Term Facility, to make a distribution to Resideo in connection with the Spin-Off and to pay fees, costs and expenses in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Notes offering. ADI intends to use the remaining proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes. ADI expects the Revolving Facility to be undrawn upon completion of the Spin-Off.
