Change of Tax Residency
In connection with the reorganization transaction as further described in Note 1. General, in December 2024, Old Aptiv established a new publicly-listed Jersey parent company, New Aptiv, which is resident for tax purposes in Switzerland. Following consummation of the Transaction, Old Aptiv became a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Aptiv and New Aptiv was renamed “Aptiv PLC.” Old Aptiv merged with and into Aptiv Swiss Holdings, a newly formed Jersey incorporated private limited company, and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Aptiv, with Aptiv Swiss Holdings surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Aptiv, and Old Aptiv ceasing to exist. Except as otherwise noted, all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Old Aptiv vested in Aptiv Swiss Holdings, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Old Aptiv became debts, liabilities and duties of Aptiv Swiss Holdings.
In connection with the Transaction, Aptiv Swiss Holdings (i) entered into a supplemental indenture to each indenture in which Aptiv Swiss Holdings assumed all of Old Aptiv’s obligations under each series of Old Aptiv’s outstanding Notes and (ii) entered into an assumption and/or supplement agreement relating to the Credit Agreement in which New Aptiv assumed all of Old Aptiv’s obligations under the Credit Agreement as the “parent entity” thereunder. In addition, New Aptiv (i) entered into a supplemental indenture to each indenture in which New Aptiv guaranteed the outstanding Notes and (ii) entered into a guarantee joinder relating to the Credit Agreement in which New Aptiv guaranteed the obligations under the Credit Agreement. Following the reorganization transaction, Aptiv Swiss Holdings (i) replaced Old Aptiv as a guarantor of the borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) succeeded to Old Aptiv as an obligor under the senior notes and the junior notes, and New Aptiv became a guarantor under the Credit Agreement (and will act as the “parent entity” thereunder) and the indentures.
Credit Agreement
Aptiv PLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Aptiv Corporation and Aptiv Global Financing Designated Activity Company (“AGF DAC”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), under which it maintains a senior unsecured credit facility currently consisting of a revolving credit facility of $2 billion (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). AGF DAC and Aptiv Corporation are each borrowers under the Credit Agreement, under which such borrowings would be guaranteed by each of the other borrowers, Aptiv PLC and Aptiv Swiss Holdings.
The Credit Agreement was entered into in March 2011 and has been subsequently amended and restated on several occasions, most recently on March 31, 2025 (the “March 2025 amendment”). The March 2025 amendment, among other things, (1) refinanced and replaced the revolver with a new five-year revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments of $2 billion, and (2) removed provisions from the June 2021 amendment for sustainability-linked rate adjustments. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2030. The Credit Agreement also contains an uncommitted accordion feature that permits Aptiv to increase, from time to time, on customary terms and conditions, the aggregate borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement by up to an additional $1 billion upon Aptiv’s request, the agreement of the lenders participating in the increase, and the approval of the Administrative Agent. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are revolving in nature and may be made and prepaid from time to time at Aptiv’s option without premium or penalty, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The March 2025 amendment also required that Aptiv pay amendment fees of $5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, which are reflected as a financing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
As of June 30, 2025, Aptiv had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $1 million in letters of credit were issued under the Credit Agreement. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement reduce availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Aptiv’s option, at either (a) the Administrative Agent’s Alternate Base Rate (“ABR” as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (b) SOFR plus in either case a percentage per annum as set forth in the table below (the “Applicable Rate”). The rates under the Credit Agreement on the specified dates are set forth below:
June 30, 2025December 31, 2024
SOFR plusABR plusSOFR plusABR plus
Revolving Credit Facility1.125 %0.125 %1.06 %0.06 %
The Applicable Rate under the Credit Agreement, as well as the facility fee, may increase or decrease from time to time based on changes in the Company’s credit ratings. Accordingly, the interest rate is subject to fluctuation during the term of the Credit Agreement based on changes in the ABR, SOFR and changes in the Company’s corporate credit ratings. The Credit Agreement also requires that Aptiv pay certain facility fees on the Revolving Credit Facility, which are also subject to adjustment based on certain letter of credit issuance and fronting fees.
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the Company’s (and the Company’s subsidiaries’) ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or liens or to dispose of substantially all of its assets. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 3.5 to 1.0 (or 4.0 to 1.0 for four full fiscal quarters following completion of material acquisitions, as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The Credit Agreement also contains events of default customary for financings of this type. The Company was in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants as of June 30, 2025.
Bridge Credit Agreement
On August 1, 2024, Aptiv PLC and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $2.5 billion senior unsecured bridge facility under a Bridge Credit Agreement (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as syndication agent. The proceeds of the loans under the Bridge Credit Agreement were utilized to provide initial funding for a portion of the share repurchases under the accelerated share repurchase program, as further described in Note 12. Shareholders’ Equity and Net Income Per Share. Aptiv incurred approximately $17 million of issuance costs in connection with the Bridge Credit Agreement. The loans available under the Bridge Credit Agreement were fully drawn on August 1. The Bridge Credit Agreement was fully repaid and terminated during the third quarter of 2024 using proceeds from the Term Loan A and proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Senior Notes and 2024 Junior Notes, as described below.
Term Loan A Credit Agreement
On August 19, 2024, Aptiv PLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries AGF DAC and Aptiv Corporation entered into a senior unsecured term loan A credit agreement (the “Term Loan A Credit Agreement”) with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, under which it maintained a senior unsecured credit facility consisting of a term loan (the “Term Loan A”) in aggregate principal amount of $600 million. Aptiv incurred approximately $2 million of issuance costs in connection with the Term Loan A.
As described above, proceeds from the Term Loan A were used to repay a portion of the loans incurred under the Bridge Credit Agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2024. This transaction was accounted for as a modification of debt in accordance with ASC Topic 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments. Accordingly, a pro-rata portion of the unamortized fees from the Bridge Credit Agreement in the amount of $4 million was transferred to the Term Loan A and, together with the $2 million of direct issuance costs referenced above, were amortized to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan A.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company repaid $350 million of the outstanding principal balance on the Term Loan A, utilizing cash on hand. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company fully repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance of $250 million on the Term Loan A utilizing cash on hand, and recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 within other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Term Loan A had a maturity date of August 19, 2027. Prior to its repayment, borrowings under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement were prepayable at Aptiv’s option without premium or penalty. No principal payment was required until the maturity date.
Loans under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement bore interest, at Aptiv’s option, at either (a) ABR or (b) SOFR plus in either case a percentage per annum as set forth in the table below (the “Term Loan Applicable Rate”). The rates under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement on the specified dates are set forth below:

During any period in which interest payments on the 2024 Junior Notes are deferred, Aptiv may not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment on, any shares of its capital stock; (ii) make any principal, interest or premium payments on, or repay, purchase or redeem any of its debt securities that are equal in right of payment with, or subordinated to, the 2024 Junior Notes; or (iii) make payments on any guarantees equal in right of payment with, or subordinated to, the 2024 Junior Notes, in each case subject to certain limited exceptions.

The indenture for the 2024 Junior Notes does not contain any restrictive covenants on the payments of dividends (except during the aforementioned deferral period), the making of investments, the incurrence of indebtedness or the purchase or prepayment, except, with respect to securities that rank equally with or junior to the 2024 Junior Notes in right of payment during the aforementioned deferral period, of securities by Aptiv or its subsidiaries. The guarantees on the indenture governing the 2024 Junior Notes ranks junior and subordinate in right of payment with all of the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, any of their existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness of each of their existing and future subsidiaries that is not a guarantor.
