On July 29, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MarketAxess Holdings Inc., or MarketAxess, a leading operator of electronic trading platforms for global institutional fixed income markets.
The transaction is valued at approximately $6.0 billion, or $167 per share, with purchase consideration consisting entirely of cash. In conjunction with the acquisition agreement, we entered into a financing commitment letter for a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $6.2 billion, or the Bridge Facility. The purpose of the Bridge Facility is to provide backup financing to fund, in part, the acquisition and to pay related fees, commissions and expenses, if the permanent debt financing cannot be obtained. The commitments that we obtained for the Bridge Facility may be permanently reduced from $6.2 billion to $0 as a result of (i) the effectiveness of a future term loan facility, (ii) the issuance by us of senior unsecured notes and (iii) the amendment of our existing revolving credit agreement.
The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to receipt of MarketAxess stockholder approval, applicable regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
We have evaluated subsequent events and determined that no other events or transactions met the definition of a subsequent event for purposes of recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.
