Term Loans financial
"repriced all $2,338,250,000 of the Term Loans"
Term loans are long-term bank or lender loans with a set repayment schedule and fixed end date, similar to a mortgage or car loan for a business. They matter to investors because they create predictable interest payments and principal obligations that affect a company’s cash flow, credit risk and capacity to fund growth or return money to shareholders; heavier or expensive term loans can raise default risk and reduce future flexibility.
Term SOFR Rate financial
"Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR Rate”) plus a margin"
Term SOFR rate is a forward-looking interest rate for a set period (for example one or three months) based on the overnight cost of borrowing cash using Treasury securities as collateral. Think of it as a quoted, agreed-upon lending rate for a future interval, like locking in the expected short-term borrowing cost ahead of time. Investors care because it is used to price loans, bonds and derivatives as a transparent replacement for older benchmarks, affecting interest payments and valuation.
Base Rate Loans financial
"in the case of Base Rate Loans, a margin of 1.00%"
Repricing Event financial
"constituting a “Repricing Event” occurring on or prior to the date"
Senior Secured Credit Facilities financial
"as described under “Senior Secured Credit Facilities” in Note 14"
Senior secured credit facilities are loans or lines of credit that a company borrows where lenders have first claim on specified assets if the company cannot pay back its debts. Think of it like a mortgage on a house: the bank holds the deed (collateral) and gets paid before other creditors, which usually makes the loan cheaper for the borrower. Investors watch these arrangements because they affect a company’s cost of borrowing, financial risk, and how available assets are prioritized if the company faces financial trouble.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 1, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Qnity Electronics, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Borrower”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, party thereto as guarantors and grantors, entered into Repricing Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), dated as of October 31, 2025, among the Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders and other loan parties from time to time party thereto (as amended from time to time, including by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

The Amendment repriced all $2,338,250,000 of the Term Loans (“Term Loans”) outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date, reducing the applicable interest rate on the Term Loans from (i) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR Rate”) plus a margin of 2.00% (and, in the case of Base Rate Loans, a margin of 1.00%) to (ii) Term SOFR Rate plus a margin of 1.75% (and, in the case of Base Rate Loans, a margin of 0.75%). In connection with the repricing, the repriced Term Loans are subject to a 1.00% premium on certain prepayments, repayments, and amendments constituting a “Repricing Event” occurring on or prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date. The Amendment did not materially change any of the other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, except as set forth herein, the repriced Term Loans have the same material terms (including with respect to maturity, prepayment, security, covenants and events of default) as described under “Senior Secured Credit Facilities” in Note 14 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Term Loans is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

FAQ

What did Qnity Electronics (Q) change in its Credit Agreement on July 1, 2026?

Qnity Electronics executed Repricing Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement, lowering the interest margins on all outstanding Term Loans while leaving core terms like maturity, security, covenants, and events of default unchanged for borrowers and lenders.

How large are Qnity Electronics’ Term Loans affected by the repricing?

The amendment covers $2,338,250,000 of Term Loans outstanding immediately before the closing date. This entire amount is now subject to the new, lower interest margins, applying to both Term SOFR-based borrowings and Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement.

How did Qnity Electronics (Q) change its Term SOFR and Base Rate margins?

The margin over the Term SOFR Rate decreases from 2.00% to 1.75%, and the margin on Base Rate Loans decreases from 1.00% to 0.75%. These reduced spreads directly lower interest costs on the repriced Term Loans under the existing senior secured facility.

What is the 1.00% premium for a Repricing Event in Qnity’s amendment?

For six months after July 1, 2026, certain prepayments, repayments, or amendments that constitute a defined “Repricing Event” on the repriced Term Loans require a 1.00% premium. This premium compensates lenders if the Term Loans are refinanced or repriced again within that period.

Did Qnity Electronics change other key loan terms with this amendment?

The company states that the amendment did not materially change other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. Maturity, prepayment provisions, security, covenants, and events of default remain as previously described in Qnity’s 2025 Form 10-K senior secured credit facilities note.
