Insights

Refinancing extends maturities and replaces higher‑coupon 2028 debt.

ADT issued $1.0 billion of first‑priority senior secured notes at 5.875%, maturing in 2033. Proceeds, plus incremental first lien term loans and cash, are earmarked to redeem $1.3 billion of 6.250% second‑priority notes due 2028.

The transaction shifts part of the capital structure to first‑lien secured debt with guarantees and first‑priority collateral. It also pushes out the debt maturity profile from 2028 to 2033, with semi‑annual interest and a par call from October 15, 2032.

The Indenture includes limits on liens, sale‑leasebacks, and certain reorganizations, plus a change‑of‑control repurchase at 101%. Actual interest expense and leverage outcomes will depend on the combined mix of new notes, term loans, and fees.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

First-Priority Senior Secured Notes
General
On October 15, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), The ADT Security Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ADT Inc. (the “Company”), successfully completed its previously announced offering (the “Offering”) of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% first-priority senior secured notes due 2033 (the “Notes”).

The Issuer expects to use the proceeds from the Offering, together with the proceeds from the incurrence of incremental first lien senior secured term loans and cash on hand, to (i) redeem in full all $1.3 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 6.250% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Second-Priority Notes”) of Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC (“Prime Borrower”) and Prime Finance Inc., each a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) pay related fees and expenses in connection with the transactions.

The Notes were offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

On the Closing Date, the Issuer, Prime Borrower and certain subsidiaries of Prime Borrower (together with Prime Borrower, the “Guarantors”) entered into an Indenture governing the Notes, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors, as guarantors, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Indenture”). The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by Prime Borrower and each of Prime Borrower’s wholly owned existing domestic subsidiaries that guarantees its Twentieth Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2025 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time). The Notes and the related guarantees are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets owned by the Issuer and the Guarantors, subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions as further described in the Indenture and the related security documents.
Maturity and Interest Payments
The Notes will mature on October 15, 2033. Interest on the Notes will accrue at 5.875% per annum and will be paid semi-annually, in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2026.
Redemption
On or after October 15, 2032 (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, prior to the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate plus 50 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date and (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either the case of clause (i) or clause (ii), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Certain Covenants
The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Issuer, Prime Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur certain liens; (ii) enter into sale leaseback transactions; and (iii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets.



These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Issuer may be required to redeem the Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default.
