Element Solutions Inc Completes Acquisition of Micromax®

Key Terms

senior secured term loan b financial

A senior secured Term Loan B is a large, long-term loan that a company takes and backs with specific assets as collateral, and which ranks ahead of most other debt if the company cannot pay. Think of it like a mortgage held by a group of institutional lenders rather than a single bank: it gives those lenders stronger claims to repayment but usually carries higher interest than top-priority bank debt. Investors watch this loan because its size, cost and priority affect a company’s financial risk, cash available for dividends or growth, and how equity would be treated if trouble arises.

revolving credit facility financial

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.

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Element Solutions Inc (NYSE:ESI) ("Element Solutions," “ESI” or the “Company”), a global and diversified specialty chemical technology company, announced today that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Micromax.

Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Gliklich said, “We are excited to welcome Micromax and its outstanding team to Element Solutions. While we are coming off a record year, Micromax is also inflecting positively with high-single digit organic revenue growth in 2025. We are looking forward to supporting its further success as part of our industry-leading Electronics portfolio.”

The Micromax acquisition was funded through a $450 million add-on to ESI’s existing senior secured term loan B due 2030, which closed simultaneously with the acquisition. As part of this financing, the Company also entered into a new 5-year $500 million revolving credit facility, upsizing its prior revolving facility by $125 million and extending its maturity to 2031.
