Senior Secured Notes financial
"the Issuer’s 6.750% Senior Secured Notes due May 2028"
Senior secured notes are loans a company sells to investors that are backed by specific assets and given first priority for repayment if the company defaults. Because they have a claim on collateral and are paid before other debts, they usually offer lower risk and correspondingly lower interest than unsecured debt; investors use them to judge how safe repayment and recovery of principal might be, like holding a mortgage instead of an unsecured credit card balance.
partial redemption financial
"election to partially redeem $100 million of the Issuer’s outstanding $650 million 2028 Notes"
Indenture financial
"in accordance with the terms of the Indenture governing the 2028 Notes"
An indenture is a legal agreement between a company that borrows money by issuing bonds and the people who buy those bonds. It explains the rules the company must follow, like paying back the money and keeping certain financial promises. This document helps both sides understand their rights and responsibilities.
Redemption Date financial
"The partial redemption will be completed on May 15, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”)."
The redemption date is the specific day when a debt-like security (such as a bond, preferred share, or certificate) must be repaid by the issuer and the investor receives the principal plus any final interest or dividends. It matters to investors because it tells when cash will return, shapes the effective return and price of the security, and creates reinvestment and timing considerations—like knowing when a loan is due so you can plan what to do with the returned money.
Trustee financial
"notified Wilmington Trust, National Association, the trustee (the “Trustee”)"
A trustee is a person or institution legally appointed to hold and manage assets or enforce an agreement on behalf of other people (beneficiaries). Think of a trustee as a neutral referee or custodian who must act in the beneficiaries’ best interests, follow the trust or contract rules, and handle distributions, recordkeeping and enforcement. Investors care because a trustworthy trustee protects their rights, ensures promised payments or remedies are delivered, and can influence recoveries if things go wrong.

How large is the Cushman & Wakefield 2028 notes partial redemption?

The partial redemption covers $100 million principal amount of the 6.750% Senior Secured Notes. These notes currently have $650 million outstanding, so the transaction affects only a portion of the total issue while leaving the remaining notes in place under the same indenture.

When will Cushman & Wakefield’s 2028 notes be partially redeemed?

The company states the partial redemption will be completed on May 15, 2026, defined as the “Redemption Date.” On that date, the redeemed notes will be paid at the contractual redemption price, and interest will cease accruing on the redeemed principal after that date.

At what price is Cushman & Wakefield redeeming the 2028 notes?

The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the 6.750% Senior Secured Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. This follows the terms described in the governing indenture for these notes.

Who will notify holders about Cushman & Wakefield’s 2028 notes redemption?

The Issuer instructed Wilmington Trust, National Association, acting as trustee, to send formal redemption notices to holders. These notices must be delivered in accordance with the procedures and timing requirements set out in the indenture governing the 6.750% Senior Secured Notes.

Does this 8-K itself serve as the redemption notice for CWK’s 2028 notes?
