[8-K] NCR Atleos Corp Reports Material Event
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
NCR Atleos Corporation entered into a supplemental indenture for its 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 after obtaining required noteholder consents. Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes approved amendments to the Indenture, including redefining “Change of Control” so the planned merger with The Brink’s Company will not trigger that provision.
The supplemental indenture became effective on execution and is binding on all noteholders, with the amendments becoming operative immediately before the first merger effective time and lapsing if the merger is not completed or the consent fee is not paid. The company also highlighted extensive merger-related risks and directed investors to future SEC proxy and prospectus materials for detailed information on the transaction.

Insights
Consent-driven note amendment aligns debt terms with the Brink’s merger structure.
The company secured majority consents from holders of its 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 to amend the Indenture around the definition of “Change of Control.” This ensures the planned merger with Brink’s will not automatically trigger change-of-control protections under these notes.
The supplemental indenture is already effective, but the amendments only operate if the merger reaches its first effective time and a consent fee is paid. Otherwise, they cease. This ties the debt covenant changes tightly to deal completion, leaving execution, regulatory approvals and integration risks that are extensively listed in the forward-looking statements.

| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 11, 2026, NCR Atleos Corporation (the “Company”), its subsidiary guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and notes collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Notes Collateral Agent”), entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated September 27, 2023 (the “Indenture”) governing its 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”).
The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into the Supplemental Indenture following receipt of the requisite consents from holders of the Notes pursuant to its previously announced consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend certain provisions of the Indenture, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on March 11, 2026. The Consent Solicitation was conducted in connection with the Company’s previously announced agreement to merge (the “Merger”) with The Brink’s Company, a Virginia corporation (“Brink’s”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 26, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”). The Company solicited consents to amend the defined term “Change of Control” to provide that the Merger will not constitute a Change of Control and to add or amend certain other defined terms contained in the Indenture related to the foregoing (the “Amendments”).
The Supplemental Indenture became effective immediately upon execution, but the Amendments will not become operative until immediately prior to the First Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and will cease to be operative if the First Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is not consummated or the Company does not pay the consent fee to the paying agent on behalf of the holders.
The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
In connection with the Consent Solicitation, the Company issued a press release on March 11, 2026, announcing the receipt of the consents required to effect the Amendments and the entry into the Supplemental Indenture in connection therewith. A copy of such press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information provided under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and is not deemed to be “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the 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 and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company’s under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to this Current Report on Form 8-K in such a filing.
