Insights

Planned $500M notes and $1.2B term loan to fund an acquisition.

Allison Transmission disclosed a private placement of approximately $500,000,000 senior notes, alongside seeking a senior secured first‑lien incremental term loan facility of $1,200,000,000. Both are described as prospective and conditioned, with the notes offering subject to market conditions and the amendment requiring lender agreement.

Proceeds are intended to finance the acquisition of Dana’s off‑highway business and related costs. The disclosure explicitly notes there is no assurance the financing or amendment will be completed, which keeps outcomes contingent on market reception and lender approvals.

The filing also states the notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be offered pursuant to an exemption, limiting sales to eligible investors. Subsequent filings may provide definitive terms if and when the transactions close.

On November 4, 2025, Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Allison Transmission, Inc. (“ATI”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, commenced an offering of approximately $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes, (the “Notes”) in a private placement (the “Offering”) exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), subject to market conditions. As previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2025, the Company announced that ATI is seeking to enter into an amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2019, as amended October 11, 2019, November 19, 2020, February 28, 2023 and March 13, 2024, among ATI, as borrower, the Company, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, Citicorp North America, Inc., as collateral agent, and the other lenders and letter of credit issuers party thereto, which, among other things, provides for a senior secured first-lien incremental term loan facility (the “Incremental Term Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $1.2 billion.

To the extent the Company completes the Offering and entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering and borrowings under the Incremental Term Facility and its revolving credit facility, together with cash on hand, to finance the consummation of the Company’s previously announced acquisition of the off-highway business of Dana Incorporated and to pay related fees and expenses. There can be no assurance that ATI will be able to complete the Offering or enter into the Credit Agreement Amendment on terms and conditions favorable to it or at all.

The Company is making available certain portions of a preliminary offering memorandum that is expected to be provided to prospective purchasers of the Notes in connection with the Offering, which portions are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any security in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
