The Eurofins E&E business is expected to generate about $200 million of revenue in 2026 and operate roughly 44 laboratories across EMEA, Asia-Pacific and the U.S. UL Solutions expects the deal, valued at about 14.5 times estimated 2026 EBITDA including cost synergies, to be accretive to Adjusted Diluted EPS in the first full year after closing.
The transaction is targeted to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to numerous global regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. If required approvals are not obtained by October 13, 2027 or certain filing obligations are missed, UL’s subsidiary may owe a €34.5 million break fee to the seller.

UL Solutions Inc. reports that a selling stockholder entered into an underwriting agreement to sell 12,500,000 shares of the company’s Class A common stock. The shares were priced at a public offering price of $78.00 per share, with underwriters granted a 30‑day option to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 shares at the same price, less underwriting discounts and commissions.
The transaction is a secondary offering, meaning the selling stockholder, not the company, receives the proceeds. The company states that it did not receive any proceeds from the sale. The shares were offered under an effective Form S-3 shelf registration, and UL Solutions filed the underwriting agreement and a Delaware law legal opinion as exhibits to this report.
UL Solutions Inc. reported its third-quarter results via press release and announced a restructuring to streamline operations and exit certain non‑strategic lines of business. The company expects total pre‑tax charges of $42–$47 million, including $37–$42 million of cash costs for employee separation tied to approximately 3.5% of its workforce and about $5 million for other cash charges, primarily contract cancellations.
The majority of these costs are expected to be recorded in Q4 2025, mostly within the Consumer and Industrial segments, with the plan anticipated to be substantially completed by the end of Q1 2027. The company notes actual timing and amounts may differ due to operational, legal, and macroeconomic factors.
UL Solutions Inc. entered a new $1.0 billion senior unsecured, five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility, including a $25 million letter-of-credit sub-limit. The facility matures on October 28, 2030 and includes an accordion feature permitting up to an additional $500 million, subject to lender consent and customary conditions.
On signing, the company borrowed $291 million to refinance its 2022 facility; future borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes. Interest is based on currency benchmarks (for USD, Term SOFR or Daily SOFR) plus a margin of 0.875%–1.375%, or a base rate option for USD loans to the company with a margin of 0.000%–0.375%. The facility is prepayable without fees apart from customary breakage costs.
The agreement imposes a quarterly-tested consolidated net leverage cap of 3.5x, rising to 4.0x for four test periods after acquisitions over $100 million, and allows netting up to $250 million of unrestricted cash. Cash dividends are conditioned on covenant compliance. The prior 2022 credit facility was repaid and terminated.
