Teledyne Technologies (NYSE: TDY) removes 0.10% SOFR add-on from loan

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated has amended its main credit agreement to change how interest on its borrowings is calculated. On February 25, 2026, the company and its lenders signed a First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America as administrative agent.

The amendment removes the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) adjustment feature from the agreement and deletes all related references. The prior SOFR adjustment was 0.10% (ten basis points), so eliminating it simplifies the company’s floating-rate interest formula under this syndicated credit facility.

Teledyne tweaks loan terms, removing a 0.10% SOFR adjustment.

Teledyne Technologies updated its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by executing a First Amendment on February 25, 2026. The key change is eliminating the 0.10% SOFR adjustment, which previously sat on top of the base Secured Overnight Financing Rate for this facility.

Removing that 0.10% adjustment modestly lowers the formulaic interest cost on SOFR-based borrowings and simplifies the agreement’s rate mechanics. The change applies to an existing syndicated credit line with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer, alongside other lenders.

This is an incremental, technical improvement rather than a transformative balance sheet event. Investors may focus on future disclosures around overall debt levels, interest expense and refinancing activity in subsequent periodic reports to see the broader picture of Teledyne’s funding strategy.

FAQ

What change did Teledyne Technologies (TDY) make to its credit agreement?

Teledyne Technologies executed a First Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, removing the 0.10% SOFR adjustment. This change simplifies the interest-rate formula on its SOFR-based borrowings and slightly reduces the margin previously applied over the benchmark rate.

When was Teledyne Technologies’ First Amendment to the credit agreement signed?

The First Amendment to Teledyne Technologies’ Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was signed on February 25, 2026. This amendment updates the existing June 10, 2024 agreement and specifically eliminates the 0.10% Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) adjustment feature from the facility.

Which financial institution is administrative agent under Teledyne (TDY)’s amended credit facility?

Bank of America, N.A. serves as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer under Teledyne’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The February 25, 2026 First Amendment keeps Bank of America in these roles while updating interest-rate mechanics by removing the 0.10% SOFR adjustment.

How does removing the 0.10% SOFR adjustment affect Teledyne’s borrowing terms?

Eliminating the 0.10% SOFR adjustment slightly lowers the formulaic interest rate on SOFR-based borrowings under Teledyne’s credit facility. It also makes the calculation more straightforward, since the rate will no longer include this additional ten-basis-point add-on over the SOFR benchmark.

What prior agreement does Teledyne’s First Amendment modify?

The First Amendment modifies Teledyne’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated June 10, 2024. That underlying agreement covers Teledyne as borrower and guarantor, designated borrowers, a subsidiary guarantor, various lenders, and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and swing line lender.
