Our senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) consist of a term loan due in 2029 (the “2029 Dollar Term Loans”) and a revolving credit facility that matures in 2029 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that are governed by a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Merger, if consummated, will constitute a “Change of Control” under the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, AkzoNobel agreed to, in consultation with Axalta, use reasonable best efforts to obtain funds to, among other things, refinance the 2029 Dollar Term Loans prior to consummation of the Merger.
Revolving Credit Facility
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $32 million and $30 million, respectively, which reduced the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility as of such dates. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $768 million and $770 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility include $14 million that secures Customer Obligation Guarantees at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Other Activity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we prepaid $195 million of the outstanding principal amount of the 2029 Dollar Term Loans. As a result of these prepayments, we recorded a $1 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which comprised the proportionate write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discounts.
