Insights
APi Group adds $500M long-term notes and expands its revolving credit capacity.
APi Group issued $500,000,000 of 5.750% senior notes due 2034 and amended its credit agreement. The amendment lifts revolving commitments from $750 million to $1.0 billion and extends both revolver and term loan maturities into the next decade.
The notes are senior unsecured and guaranteed by the parent and key subsidiaries, but remain structurally and effectively subordinated to secured and non-guarantor subsidiary debt. Covenant packages in the indenture and credit agreement include limits on additional indebtedness, restricted payments, asset sales and liens, with some restrictions falling away if the notes reach investment grade at two agencies.
APi intends to use note proceeds for general corporate purposes, including previously announced acquisitions and related fees. This shifts part of its capital structure toward long-term fixed-rate funding while preserving liquidity via the upsized revolver; the overall effect will depend on acquisition performance and future credit metrics disclosed in later filings.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 9, among other things: (i) the revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement were increased from $750 million to $1.0 billion, through a $250 million incremental revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”); (ii) the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility was extended to May 14, 2031; (iii) the letter of credit sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $250 million to $300 million; (iv) the maturity date of the Borrower’s existing term loan was extended to May 14, 2033; and (v) certain negative covenants, baskets and thresholds under the Credit Agreement were modified to provide the Borrower with additional operational flexibility.

Notes Offering
On May 14, 2026, the Issuer completed its offering of $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Notes”) in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of May 14, 2026 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Notes mature on June 1, 2034, and bear interest at a rate of 5.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2026. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including funding previously announced acquisitions and related fees and expenses.
Guarantees
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by the Company, as parent guarantor, and certain of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement, subject to certain permitted exceptions.
Ranking
The Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Issuer and the guarantors, respectively, including the Issuer’s existing 4.125% Senior Notes due 2029 and 4.750% Senior Notes due 2029. The Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.
Certain Covenants
The Indenture contains customary negative covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to engage in specified categories of transactions, including incurring additional indebtedness exceeding certain thresholds, making certain restricted payments and investments, disposing of assets subject to certain exceptions, incurring unpermitted liens, entering into transactions with affiliates, and consolidating, merging or selling all or substantially all of their assets. Many of these covenants will cease to apply if the Notes achieve investment grade ratings from at least two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and Fitch, Inc., subject to customary conditions, and will not be reinstated upon any subsequent downgrade. The Indenture also contains customary events of default and remedies.
Optional Redemption
Prior to June 1, 2029, the Issuer may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest. On or after June 1, 2029, the Issuer may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to June 1, 2029, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at 105.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, subject to customary conditions set forth in the Indenture.
Change of Control
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), each holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase its Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture and the form of the Notes, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this Report and are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
