The company received approximately $1.99 billion in net proceeds from these notes.
Baxter plans to use the proceeds to fund cash tender offers for its 2.600% senior unsecured notes due 2026 and a portion of its 1.915% senior unsecured notes due 2027, to discharge any 2026 notes not purchased, and to refinance its term loan credit facility.

Baxter International Inc. reported that it entered into Amendment No. 1 to its amended and restated five-year credit agreement dated June 11, 2025. The amended agreement, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and various lenders, revises the net leverage ratio covenant. Specifically, it increases the maximum net leverage ratio that applies for the four fiscal quarters ending on December 31, 2025, March 30, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2026. This change provides Baxter with more room under its leverage test during this period while it continues to operate under the existing credit facility.
Baxter International Inc. increased the Maximum Tender Cap for its previously announced cash tender offer for its 1.915% senior unsecured notes due 2027 to $600 million, up from the prior cap of $300 million. This means Baxter is now willing to buy back a larger amount of these 2027 notes for cash than originally planned.
The change, announced on November 19, 2025, affects only the 1.915% notes due 2027 and is governed by the company’s offer to purchase dated the same day. The update is described as part of a tender offer process rather than an offer to sell or solicit new securities.
