Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1, beginning February 1, 2027, with maturities on August 1, 2031 and August 1, 2036. HEICO plans to use the net proceeds to pay down borrowings under its $2.2 billion revolving credit agreement. The notes are redeemable at HEICO’s option, and a change of control triggering event would require an offer to purchase the notes. The indenture includes customary covenants limiting certain liens, sale-leaseback transactions and major corporate reorganizations, as well as standard events of default and acceleration provisions.
HEICO Corporation is offering $550,000,000 4.950% notes due 2031 and $650,000,000 5.400% notes due 2036, issued as senior unsecured obligations ranking equally with its other senior unsecured debt and structurally subordinated to liabilities of subsidiaries and any future secured borrowings.
Interest is payable semiannually each February 1 and August 1, starting February 1, 2027; the notes mature August 1, 2031 and August 1, 2036. Before the respective Par Call Dates, HEICO may redeem the notes at a make‑whole price based on the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points for the 2031 notes and 15 basis points for the 2036 notes; thereafter they are redeemable at 100% of principal. Holders receive a 101% cash put right if a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs.
HEICO expects approximately $1,188.9 million in net proceeds and plans to repay borrowings under its Existing Credit Facility, which had $1,380.0 million outstanding at a 5.0% weighted average rate as of April 30, 2026. The notes are not expected to be listed on any exchange, and the indenture includes limited covenants focused mainly on liens, sale‑leasebacks, mergers and potential future subsidiary guarantees.
HEICO Corporation plans a primary offering of new senior unsecured notes in two series under its shelf registration. The notes pay fixed interest semiannually, have staggered maturities, are optionally redeemable before and after a defined Par Call Date, and rank equally with HEICO’s existing senior unsecured debt while being structurally subordinated to subsidiary liabilities.
Net proceeds are expected to be used to pay down outstanding borrowings under HEICO’s Existing Credit Facility, a revolving credit line maturing June 11, 2031. As of April 30, 2026, HEICO had $2,587.3 million of total debt, including $1.38 billion drawn on that facility, plus previously issued 2028 and 2033 senior notes. Disclosures highlight risks such as effective subordination to secured and subsidiary debt, limited covenants, potential Change of Control Triggering Events with a 101% repurchase feature, interest rate and credit-rating sensitivities, and the absence of a planned exchange listing or established trading markets for the notes.
HEICO Corporation filed an automatic shelf registration allowing it and certain shareholders to offer, from time to time after effectiveness, a broad range of securities, including Common Stock, Class A Common Stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants and units.

Any specific offering terms, including pricing, amounts and use of proceeds, will be detailed in future prospectus supplements. HEICO will not receive proceeds from sales by selling shareholders.

HEICO Corporation entered into a fourth amendment to its Revolving Credit Agreement on June 11, 2026. The amendment increases the capacity of the company’s revolving credit facility from $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion and extends the facility’s maturity to June 11, 2031.
The amendment also changes the interest-rate grid so the applicable rate is based on the most recently published ratings of HEICO’s senior unsecured, non-credit enhanced, long-term debt. In addition, subsidiaries that previously guaranteed obligations under the credit facility are released from those guarantees and are automatically released from guarantees of HEICO’s outstanding 5.250% Notes due 2028 and 5.350% Notes due 2031 under its 2023 indenture documents.
