Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Visteon Corporation entered into an eighth amendment to its syndicated credit agreement, replacing its existing facilities with new refinancing arrangements. The company now has a $400,000,000 revolving credit facility and a $300,000,000 term loan A facility, both maturing on April 27, 2031, with quarterly amortization on the term loan equal to 5% per year of its original principal starting September 30, 2026.

Borrowings can be priced off a Base Rate or SOFR Rate, with margins ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% on Base Rate loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on SOFR loans, depending on Visteon’s Total Gross Leverage Ratio. The revolving facility includes up to $75,000,000 for letters of credit and $40,000,000 for swing line advances, and carries a commitment fee of 0.15% to 0.25% on unused amounts. The agreement also adds a small ESG-linked pricing adjustment based on carbon emissions intensity, maintains a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio of 3.50:1.00 (temporarily 4.00:1.00 after a material acquisition), and remains secured and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries.

Insights

Visteon refinances and extends its main bank facilities to 2031 on leverage-linked, secured terms.

Visteon replaces its prior bank debt with a new $400,000,000 revolving facility and a $300,000,000 term loan A, both maturing on April 27, 2031. This extends debt maturity while keeping flexibility through revolver capacity, swingline borrowing, and letters of credit.

Pricing is tied to the company’s Total Gross Leverage Ratio, with SOFR-based margins between 1.00% and 1.75% and a revolver commitment fee between 0.15% and 0.25%. A small ESG-linked adjustment can change margins by up to 0.05% based on carbon emissions relative to Consolidated Revenue.

The facilities are secured by first-priority liens and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries, with a financial covenant capping Total Net Leverage Ratio at 3.50:1.00, temporarily 4.00:1.00 after material acquisitions. Future company disclosures may show how leverage and ESG performance interact with these pricing and covenant features over time.

Refinancing Revolving Facility financial
"The Amendment provides for ... a new revolving credit facility (the “Refinancing Revolving Facility”...)"
Refinancing Term Facility financial
"a new term loan “A” facility (the “Refinancing Term Facility”...)"
SOFR Rate financial
"the SOFR-based rate (“SOFR Rate”) plus an applicable margin"
SOFR is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, a daily benchmark that reflects the cost of very short‑term loans backed by U.S. government securities. Investors watch it because many dollar loans, floating‑rate bonds and derivatives use SOFR to set interest payments; when SOFR moves, borrowing costs, yields and valuations across a wide range of financial contracts change—like a background thermostat that influences many investments.
Total Net Leverage Ratio financial
"the Company may not permit the Total Net Leverage Ratio ... to exceed 3:50:1:00"
Total net leverage ratio measures how much a company owes after using its cash, compared with the cash it generates in a year; it is usually calculated by subtracting cash from total debt and dividing that net debt by annual operating cash flow or earnings. Investors use it like a debt-to-income check for a household — a higher number means the company may struggle to cover obligations and is riskier, while a lower number suggests more cushion and financial flexibility.
letters of credit financial
"Up to $75,000,000 of the Refinancing Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of 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.
swing line advances financial
"Up to $40,000,000 of the Refinancing Revolving Facility is available for swing line advances"

SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 27, 2026, Visteon Corporation (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 8 to Credit Agreement & Agency Transfer Agreement (the “Amendment”) to its credit agreement, dated as of April 9, 2014 (as amended by that certain Waiver and Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2015, Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2017, Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2017, Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2018, Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2019, Amendment No. 6 to Credit Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2022 and Amendment No. 7 to Credit Agreement, dated June 28, 2023, the “Existing Credit Agreement”; and the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., as the former administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Former Administrative Agent”), Bank of America, N.A., as successor administrative agent under the Credit Agreement (the “Administrative Agent”), certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors party thereto and certain lenders and issuing banks party thereto. The Amendment provides for, among other things, (i) the replacement and extension of the existing revolving credit facility with a new revolving credit facility (the “Refinancing Revolving Facility” and any loans made pursuant thereto, “New Revolving Credit Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000, (ii) the refinancing of the Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) with a new term loan “A” facility (the “Refinancing Term Facility” and, together with the Refinancing Revolving Facility, the “Refinancing Facilities”; the loans made pursuant to the Refinancing Term Facility, the “New Term Loans” and together with the New Revolving Credit Loans, the “New Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000, (iii) the replacement of the Former Administrative Agent with the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and (iv) additional flexibility for the Company and its subsidiaries under certain covenants in the Credit Agreement.

At the Company’s option, New Loans may be maintained from time to time at an interest rate equal to the applicable domestic rate (“Base Rate”) plus an applicable margin, or the SOFR-based rate (“SOFR Rate”) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin will range from 1.00% to 1.75% on SOFR Rate loans and from 0.00% to 0.75% on Base Rate loans, based on the Company’s Total Gross Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from time to time. The Company will also pay a commitment fee between 0.15% and 0.25%, payable quarterly, on the average daily unused amount of the Refinancing Revolving Facility based on the Company’s Total Gross Leverage Ratio from time to time. New Revolving Credit Loans, at the Company’s option, may also be denominated in Euro or Pounds Sterling, and such loans will be maintained at an interest rate equal to the applicable benchmark rate as described in the Credit Agreement plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% based on the Company’s Total Gross Leverage Ratio from time to time.

Additionally, the Company can receive an interest rate adjustment of up to 0.05% and a commitment fee adjustment of up to 0.01%, in each case, under the Credit Agreement based on its fiscal year performance with respect to a ratio of (a) the total carbon emissions (measured in metric tons CO2e) of certain major manufacturing sites, warehouses and major technical centers of the Company and its subsidiaries, to (b) the Consolidated Revenue (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Up to $75,000,000 of the Refinancing Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, denominated in Dollars, Euro or Pounds Sterling, and any such issuance of letters of credit will reduce the amount available for New Revolving Credit Loans. Up to $40,000,000 of the Refinancing Revolving Facility is available for swing line advances, and any such swing line advances will reduce the amount available for New Revolving Credit Loans. The Company may request an increase in the limit under the Refinancing Revolving Facility and/or the Refinancing Term Facility.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Refinancing Facilities shall mature on April 27, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”). Prior to the Maturity Date, the Refinancing Term Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments (commencing on September 30, 2026) in an aggregate annual amount equal to 5.00% of the original principal amount of the Refinancing Term Facility. New Revolving Credit Loans

and the outstanding balance of the New Term Loans are due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Outstanding borrowings under the Refinancing Facilities are prepayable without penalty at any time.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant for the benefit of the lenders under the Refinancing Facilities, and contains customary events of default. Pursuant to such financial covenant, the Company may not permit the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of a test period to exceed 3:50:1:00, subject to an increase to 4.00:1.00 for three full fiscal quarters following a material acquisition.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement and obligations in respect of certain cash management services and swap agreements with the lenders and their affiliates are (i) unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and (ii) secured by a first-priority perfected lien (subject to certain exceptions) in substantially all of the property of the Company and the subsidiaries party to the security documents, subject to certain limitations. The Credit Agreement provides for the release of such liens in the event the Company receives and maintains specified corporate or corporate family ratings and certain other conditions are met.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment, including the Credit Agreement, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Amendment attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

FAQ

What new credit facilities did Visteon (VC) establish in this amendment?

Visteon established a new $400,000,000 refinancing revolving credit facility and a $300,000,000 refinancing term loan A facility. These replace prior facilities under its existing credit agreement and give the company both committed liquidity and longer-term amortizing debt capacity.

When do Visteon’s new refinancing credit facilities mature?

Both the new revolving credit facility and the new term loan A facility mature on April 27, 2031. The term loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments starting September 30, 2026, totaling 5% of original principal each year until final maturity.

How are interest rates determined on Visteon’s new loans under the credit agreement?

Visteon can choose Base Rate or SOFR Rate loans, with margins from 0.00% to 0.75% on Base Rate and 1.00% to 1.75% on SOFR. The exact margin depends on the company’s Total Gross Leverage Ratio, so pricing improves if leverage declines within the agreed tiers.

What leverage covenant applies to Visteon’s new refinancing facilities?

The credit agreement includes a financial covenant requiring Visteon not to permit its Total Net Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.50:1.00. This limit can temporarily increase to 4.00:1.00 for three full fiscal quarters following a material acquisition, providing some flexibility around larger transactions.

Does Visteon’s amended credit agreement include any ESG-linked pricing feature?

Yes. The agreement allows an interest margin adjustment of up to 0.05% and a commitment fee adjustment of up to 0.01%. These adjustments depend on Visteon’s fiscal-year performance on a carbon emissions-to-Consolidated Revenue ratio at certain major manufacturing, warehouse, and technical center sites.

How much of Visteon’s revolving facility is available for letters of credit and swing line advances?

Up to $75,000,000 of the revolving facility may be used for letters of credit in Dollars, Euro, or Pounds Sterling. Up to $40,000,000 is available for swing line advances. Any usage under these sublimits reduces the remaining availability for standard revolving credit loans.
