Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Roper Technologies entered a new five-year unsecured credit agreement providing a $3.50 billion revolving credit facility, including up to $150.0 million for letters of credit, of which $60.0 million is committed. The facility allows additional term loans or revolving commitments up to $1.00 billion under certain conditions.

Loans may be term SOFR or ABR, with SOFR spreads ranging from 0.795%–1.300% and, based on the current rating, 0.920% for SOFR loans and 0.000% for ABR loans. The company must maintain a Total Debt to Total Capital Ratio of 0.65 to 1.00 or less and may prepay borrowings without premium or penalty.

Roper can add foreign subsidiaries as borrowers, whose obligations it will guarantee, while its own obligations are not guaranteed by subsidiaries unless designated later. The new facility replaces the prior unsecured credit facility, which had $2.0 billion of principal and about $6.2 million of letters of credit outstanding at termination.

"The new facility comprises a five-year $3.50 billion revolving credit facility"
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

"The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a Total Debt to Total Capital Ratio of 0.65 to 1.00 or less"
letters of credit financial
"which includes availability of up to $150.0 million for letters of credit"
A letter of credit is a promise from a bank to pay a seller if the buyer fails to do so, commonly used in trade and large contracts to ensure payment. Think of it as a bank standing in for the buyer, like a certified check or payment insurance that reduces the risk of nonpayment. For investors, letters of credit matter because they affect a company’s cash flow, borrowing needs and contingent liabilities, and signal how much credit support a business requires to secure deals.

Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 30, 2026, Roper Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Roper”) entered into a new five-year unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) among Roper, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as syndication agents, and PNC Bank, National Association, Truist Bank, U.S Bank National Association, The Huntington National Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch, and MUFG Bank, Ltd., as documentation agents, which replaces its existing $3.50 billion unsecured credit facility, dated as of July 21, 2022. The new facility comprises a five-year $3.50 billion revolving credit facility, which includes availability of up to $150.0 million for letters of credit, of which $60.0 million shall be committed. Loans under the facility will be available in dollars, and letters of credit will be available in dollars and other currencies to be agreed. The Company may also, subject to compliance with specified conditions, request additional term loans or revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.00 billion. Terms used in this Item 1.01 and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

The Company will have the right to add foreign subsidiaries as borrowers under the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions. The Company will guarantee the payment and performance by the foreign subsidiary borrowers of their obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries. However, the Company has the right, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to cause any of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries to become guarantors.

Loans under the Credit Agreement can be borrowed as term SOFR loans or ABR Loans, at the Company’s option. Each term SOFR loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Term SOFR rate plus a spread ranging from 0.795% to 1.300%, as determined by the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating at such time. Based on the Company’s current rating, the spread for SOFR loans would be 0.920%. Each ABR Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus a spread ranging from 0.000% to 0.300%, as determined by the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating at such time. Based on the Company’s current rating, the spread for ABR Loans would be 0.000%.

Outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement will be charged a quarterly fee depending on the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating. Based on the Company’s current rating, the quarterly fee would be payable at a rate of 0.920% per annum, plus a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of all letters of credit.

Additionally, the Company will pay a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portions of the revolving credit facility depending on the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating. Based on the Company’s current rating, the quarterly fee would accrue at a rate of 0.080% per annum.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of customary events of default. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a Total Debt to Total Capital Ratio of 0.65 to 1.00 or less. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are prepayable at Roper’s option at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty.

Roper and its affiliates maintain various commercial and service relationships with certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates in the ordinary course of business. In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, certain of the lenders and the other parties to the Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking, investment banking, financial advisory or other services with Roper and its affiliates for which they have in the past and/or may in the future receive customary compensation and expense reimbursement.

The description above is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the Credit Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
