Filed March 11, 2026For Securities:FICO

Summary

Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) announced on March 11, 2026, the pricing of a private offering of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2034. This offering is aimed at eligible purchasers and is being made in accordance with Rule 135(c) of the Securities Act, meaning it's an announcement of pricing and not an offer to sell securities. The primary use of the net proceeds from this debt issuance is to refinance existing debt. Specifically, FICO plans to repay outstanding balances under its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and crucially, to redeem in full its $400 million of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2026. The remaining funds will cover associated fees, expenses, and general corporate purposes, which may include common stock repurchases. This move signals a proactive approach to managing the company's capital structure and optimizing its debt maturity profile.
