"€546,715,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes, representing approximately 91.12%"
The aggregate principal amount is the total amount of money borrowed through a bond or loan that the borrower promises to repay. It’s like the original price tag on a loan or bond, showing how much money is involved in the deal. This number matters because it indicates the size of the debt and helps investors understand the scale of the borrowing.

"Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/20 interest in a share of 8.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock"
A mandatory convertible preferred stock is a type of investment that pays regular income like a preferred share but is designed to automatically turn into a set number of common shares at a future date, much like a timed coupon that becomes company ownership. It matters to investors because it combines a near-term income stream with a guaranteed future increase in the company’s share count, which can dilute existing owners and change earnings-per-share and voting balance.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

First Supplemental Indenture Relating to 1.100% Notes Due 2027

On June 18, 2026, Whirlpool Finance Luxembourg S.à r.l. (the “Issuer”) entered into a supplemental indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), among the Issuer, as issuer, Whirlpool Corporation, as parent (the “Company”), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor-in-interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to the indenture, dated as of November 2, 2016 (the “Indenture”), relating to the 1.100% Notes due 2027 (ISIN: XS1716616179) (the “2027 Notes”).

The First Supplemental Indenture was entered into to effectuate a certain amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Indenture with respect to the 2027 Notes for which consents were solicited in the previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated June 1, 2026 (the “Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation”). Specifically, the First Supplemental Indenture will amend the Indenture by revising the first sentence of Section 10.01 (Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture) with respect to the 2027 Notes by replacing all references to “one year” with “two years,” thereby accelerating the Issuer’s ability to satisfy and discharge the Indenture with respect to the 2027 Notes. The Amendment will become operative pursuant to the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture once the Company has purchased all tendered 2027 Notes at the expiration of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.

As of 5:00 p.m., Central European time (11:00 a.m., New York City time), on June 12, 2026, €546,715,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes, representing approximately 91.12% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2027 Notes, had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn), which amount was sufficient to constitute the requisite consents to approve the Amendment.

A copy of the First Supplemental Indenture is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The description of the First Supplemental Indenture contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Supplemental Indenture.
