Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed February 17, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
nVent Electric plc (NVT) reported in a Form 8-K filed February 17, 2026 that, on February 16, 2026, it and its subsidiaries nVent Finance S.à r.l. and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated June 30, 2025.
The credit agreement provides for revolving, term and other financing in an aggregate principal amount of up to $875 milliona. The amendment allows Hoffman Schroff Holdings to be a primary borrower alongside nVent Finance, and requires nVent Finance and Hoffman to cross-guarantee each other's obligations, in addition to the parent company's guarantee of both. On the same date, the company, nVent Finance and Hoffman entered into a Sixth Supplemental Indenture to the March 26, 2018 indenture governing nVent Finance's 4.550% senior notes due 2028, 2.750% senior notes due 2031 and 5.650% senior notes due 2033.
Under this supplemental indenture, Hoffman joins nVent Electric plc as a fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally liable guarantor of nVent Finance's obligations under the indenture, including the notes. The filing is administrative in nature: it reflects a restructuring of guarantor and borrower relationships within the group rather than new borrowing or a change in the notes' terms. The 8-K reports no financial results, acquisitions or pro forma information, and Items 2.03 and 9.01 are cross-references or not applicable, aside from the listed exhibits.
