Revolving Credit Agreement
On September 27, 2024, the Company entered into a $400 million amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the Company’s subsidiaries MercadoLibre S.R.L., Mercado Livre Brasil Ltda., Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento Ltda., DeRemate.com de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V., MP Agregador, S. de R.L. de C.V., MercadoLibre Chile Ltda., and MercadoLibre Colombia Ltda. as initial guarantors. The Company’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. On July 23, 2025, as a result of the DeRemate Spinoff, MPFS, S. de R.L. de C.V. became a guarantor under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms. On April 28, 2026, Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento Ltda. was released from its guarantee pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “First Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with the administrative agent and the guarantors. The First Amendment permits the Company to request, at one or more times, that existing and/or new lenders provide, at their election, up to $400 million of additional commitments, for an aggregate principal amount of credit commitments of up to $800 million.
On April 28, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with the administrative agent and the guarantors. The Second Amendment requires that the aggregate revenues of guarantors that guarantee loans drawn from the facility represent at least 60% of the revenues of the Company, down from 75%.
The interest rates under the Amended Credit Agreement are based on Term SOFR (“Secured Overnight Funding Rate”) plus an interest margin of 1.00% per annum, which may be decreased to 0.90% per annum or increased to 1.15% per annum depending on the Company’s debt rating, as further provided under the Amended Credit Agreement. Any loans drawn from the Amended Credit Agreement must be repaid on or prior to September 27, 2028, which will be automatically extended to September 27, 2029 upon satisfaction, on or prior to August 28, 2027, of the Maturity Extension Conditions (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), as further provided in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company is also obligated to pay a commitment fee on the unused amounts of the facility at a rate per annum equal to 25% of the then Applicable Margin, depending on the Company’s debt rating, as further provided under the Amended Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2026, no amounts have been borrowed under the facility.
