Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Autodesk, Inc. entered into a new financing arrangement tied to an upcoming acquisition. The company signed a Term Loan Credit Agreement providing an unsecured 364-day delayed draw term loan facility with an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. The loan can only be drawn on the acquisition closing date and matures 364 days after that date. Autodesk may prepay the term loan voluntarily without premium, and must prepay or reduce commitments in certain cases when it receives net cash proceeds from specified debt, equity, or asset sales. The loan will bear interest at either a base rate plus up to 0.125% or a SOFR rate plus up to 1.125%, depending on the company’s public debt rating, and undrawn commitments will incur a ticking fee of 0.050% to 0.125% per year starting 120 days after June 15, 2026. Autodesk also amended its existing revolving credit agreement, while keeping its other terms in place.

Insights

Autodesk secures a $1.0B short-term facility to fund an acquisition.

Autodesk entered a $1.0 billion unsecured 364-day delayed draw term loan that can be funded only on the acquisition closing date. This adds committed, short-duration liquidity specifically for the transaction, separate from its existing revolving credit agreement.

Pricing is tied to public debt ratings, with margins up to 0.125% over the base rate or 1.125% over SOFR, and a ticking fee of up to 0.125% annually on undrawn commitments after June 15, 2026. Covenants and events of default substantially mirror the existing revolver, including a maximum leverage ratio based on Consolidated Covenant Debt to Consolidated EBITDA.

Mandatory prepayment provisions using proceeds from certain future debt, equity, or asset sales may limit net incremental leverage from this facility. Actual impact will depend on the acquisition’s terms and subsequent capital-raising or asset-sale activity disclosed in future company filings.

Term Loan Credit Agreement financial
"the Company entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”)"
A term loan credit agreement is a formal contract where a borrower receives a fixed sum of money from a lender and agrees to repay it over a set period with interest, much like a multi‑year mortgage or car loan for a business. It matters to investors because the size, cost and rules of the loan affect a company’s cash flow, risk of default and ability to invest or pay dividends; restrictive conditions can also force operational changes.
delayed draw term loan facility financial
"provides for an unsecured 364-day delayed draw term loan facility"
A delayed draw term loan facility is a committed loan that a borrower can tap in one or more installments at specified future times after meeting agreed conditions, rather than receiving the full amount upfront. For investors it matters because it provides a ready source of cash that can change a company’s financial strength, leverage and interest costs when drawn—similar to having a reserved credit line you can use later, which affects liquidity and the risk profile of the business.
Base Rate financial
"The Term Loan will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the Base Rate"
The base rate is the primary interest rate set by a central authority or used as a benchmark for pricing loans, savings and other financial products. Think of it as the anchor in a floating system: when the base rate moves, borrowing costs, corporate financing and consumer spending tend to shift too, which can change company profits and investor returns across the market.
SOFR rate financial
"or (ii) a SOFR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.625% to 1.125%"
SOFR is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, a daily benchmark that reflects the cost of very short‑term loans backed by U.S. government securities. Investors watch it because many dollar loans, floating‑rate bonds and derivatives use SOFR to set interest payments; when SOFR moves, borrowing costs, yields and valuations across a wide range of financial contracts change—like a background thermostat that influences many investments.
ticking fee financial
"the Company will pay to each Lender a ticking fee on a quarterly basis"
A ticking fee is a charge that accrues over time when one party has committed to a deal but the transaction has not yet closed; it compensates the other side for the cost and risk of the delay. For investors, it matters because it raises the effective cost of a transaction and signals how long completion may take—like paying a small ongoing rent while waiting for a house sale to finish, which can affect returns and deal judgment.
maximum leverage ratio financial
"including requirements with respect to a maximum leverage ratio of Consolidated Covenant Debt to Consolidated EBITDA"

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement

 

On June 15, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), Autodesk, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Amendment”), which amends the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2025, among the Company, Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). Among other things, the Revolver Amendment:

 

(i)increases the commitments of the unsecured revolving credit facility provided pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement from an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion to an aggregate principal amount of $2 billion, and

 

(ii)provides greater funding certainty to consummate the Company’s merger transaction with MaintainX Inc. (the “Acquisition”) by providing more limited conditions to borrowing under the Revolving Credit Agreement, in the case of borrowings up to $1.0 billion that are applied on the closing date of the Acquisition (the “Acquisition Closing Date”) for purposes of funding the Acquisition transaction.

 

Except as amended by the Revolver Amendment, the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect.

 

The Revolver Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The above description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

 

Term Loan Agreement

 

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, which provides for an unsecured 364-day delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion.

 

Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are limited to loans funded on the Acquisition Closing Date (the “Term Loan”) for purposes of funding the Acquisition transaction and will mature 364 days after the Acquisition Closing Date. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan are permitted, in whole or in part, in minimum amounts without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs. The Term Loan is also subject to certain mandatory prepayment events, including by an amount equal to the net cash proceeds received by the Company from certain debt issuances, equity issuances or asset sales (in each case, subject to certain exceptions). In the case of any such events occurring prior to the funding of the Term Loan on the Acquisition Closing Date, the commitments under the Term Loan will be reduced by the same amounts that otherwise would have been required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the funded Term Loan.

 

The Term Loan will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.125%, depending on the Company’s public debt rating or (ii) a SOFR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.625% to 1.125%, depending on the Company’s public debt rating. As used herein, “Base Rate” means a floating rate per annum equal to the greatest of (A) Citibank’s base lending rate, (B) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (C) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus 1.00%.

 

1

 

Under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company will pay to each Lender a ticking fee on a quarterly basis based on undrawn commitments under the Term Loan Credit Agreement of between 0.050% and 0.125% per annum, depending on the Company’s public debt rating. Such ticking fee will not begin to accrue until 120 days after the Effective Date.

 

The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains substantially similar representations, warranties, covenants, events of default, and financial covenants (including requirements with respect to a maximum leverage ratio of Consolidated Covenant Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement)) as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

 

Citibank and the other lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, and certain of their respective affiliates have provided, and in the future may provide, financial, banking and related services to the Company. These parties have received, and in the future may receive, compensation from the Company for these services.

 

The Term Loan Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated by reference herein. The above description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

FAQ

What new credit facility did Autodesk (ADSK) enter on June 15, 2026?

Autodesk entered a Term Loan Credit Agreement providing an unsecured 364-day delayed draw term loan facility with an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion, available only on the acquisition closing date and maturing 364 days after that closing date.

How will Autodesk (ADSK) use the new $1.0 billion term loan?

The term loan is designated to fund an acquisition transaction. Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are limited to loans funded on the Acquisition Closing Date, so the facility is specifically structured to provide short-term financing for that deal.

What interest rates apply to Autodesk’s new term loan facility?

Autodesk can choose interest based on either the Base Rate plus a margin of 0.0% to 0.125%, or a SOFR rate plus a margin of 0.625% to 1.125%. The margin in each case depends on the company’s public debt rating at the time.

When does the ticking fee on Autodesk’s term loan commitments start and at what rate?

A quarterly ticking fee on undrawn commitments begins accruing 120 days after June 15, 2026. The fee ranges from 0.050% to 0.125% per year, depending on Autodesk’s public debt rating, and applies only to unused commitments.

Are there mandatory prepayment provisions in Autodesk’s new term loan?

Yes. The term loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to net cash proceeds from certain debt, equity, or asset sales, subject to exceptions. If such events occur before funding, the term loan commitments are reduced by amounts that would otherwise have been used for mandatory prepayment.

How does Autodesk’s term loan relate to its existing revolving credit agreement?

Autodesk amended its existing revolving credit agreement through an Amendment No. 1, while keeping its other terms in full force and effect. The new Term Loan Credit Agreement includes representations, covenants, and financial covenants that are substantially similar to those in the revolving facility.
