Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (WAB) completed a public offering and sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.900% Senior Notes due 2037 on November 4, 2026. The notes mature on February 25, 2037, pay interest semiannually on February 25 and August 25 beginning February 25, 2027, and rank equally in right of payment with WAB’s other senior unsecured indebtedness. Qualifying current and future subsidiaries guarantee payments jointly and severally on an unsecured basis.

The notes may be redeemed before November 25, 2036 at a make-whole premium, and on or after that date at 100% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest. A change-of-control triggering event requires an offer to purchase at 101% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
