FAIR ISAAC CORP 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (May 8, 2025)

Filed May 8, 2025For Securities:FICO

Summary

Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) has announced a significant refinancing initiative through a proposed amendment and restatement of its credit agreement, aiming to establish a new $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in 2030. This "New Revolver" is intended for general corporate purposes, including working capital, acquisitions, and potential stock repurchases, and will also facilitate the refinancing of existing debt. Concurrently, FICO has commenced a private offering for $1.5 billion in Senior Notes due 2033, with the proceeds intended to, among other things, repay outstanding indebtedness under its existing credit agreement. Investors should note that the new credit facility and the senior notes offering are subject to market conditions and the successful negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. While the new revolving credit facility may offer more flexibility by not including a minimum interest coverage ratio, it will retain substantially similar restrictive covenants to the existing agreement. The company is also providing the option to increase the New Revolver or add incremental term loans under specific leverage ratio conditions. The success of these financing activities is crucial for FICO's ongoing financial flexibility and strategic capital management.
