Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed September 17, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

nVent Electric plc (NVT) entered into a $600.0 milliona senior unsecured term loan facility on September 17, 2026, to help finance its previously announced acquisition of Maverick Power, LLC.

The acquisition is being made by its subsidiary Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. under a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated August 21, 2026, for a purchase price of $1.75 billionb, subject to customary adjustments. Hoffman intends to borrow the full $600.0 million, either to fund part of the purchase price or to pay related fees and expenses. No loans were outstanding on the effective date.

The term loan is guaranteed by nVent and nVent Finance S.à r.l. and bears interest at a base rate or term SOFR plus an applicable margin tied to either nVent's Net Leverage Ratio or Hoffman's debt rating. Ticking fees of 0.10%c to 0.20% per annum on undrawn commitments begin December 19, 2026. The facility matures on the third anniversary of the date the term loans are made and can be prepaid without penalty, subject to customary breakage costs.

Its financial covenants require a consolidated debt-to-EBITDA ratio of no more than 3.75 to 1.00 (or 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions at Hoffman's election) and an EBITDA-to-cash-interest ratio of at least 3.00 to 1.00. Separately, Amendment No. 2 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated June 30, 2025 adds limited conditionality to a $250.0 milliond revolving credit sublimit that can also be used to finance part of the acquisition. The overall credit agreement remains at up to $875.0 million in aggregate.

Funding under both facilities is conditioned on the acquisition closing, the absence of a material adverse effect at Maverick Power since August 21, 2026, and other customary conditions. The Loan Agreement and the Amendment are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How much is nVent borrowing to fund the Maverick Power acquisition?

    The filing states that Hoffman intends to borrow the full $600.0 million under the new Term Loan Facility, to finance part of the $1.75 billion purchase price and/or pay related fees and expenses.

  2. When do the ticking fees start, and what are they?

    Ticking fees accrue at 0.10% to 0.20% per annum on the undrawn term loan commitment, beginning December 19, 2026, and continue until the loans are funded or the commitment terminates. The exact rate depends on the Net Leverage Ratio or Hoffman's debt rating, at Hoffman's election.

  3. What financial covenants apply to the term loan?

    nVent may not let its consolidated debt, net of unrestricted cash above $5.0 million (capped at $250.0 million), exceed 3.75 to 1.00 of EBITDA, or 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions. It also must keep EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense at or above 3.00 to 1.00.

  4. What happens if the acquisition does not close?

    The lenders' commitment expires on the earliest of several events, including termination of the Purchase Agreement, public announcement that the acquisition is abandoned, or the closing of the acquisition with or without the term loan. Termination also occurs five business days after the Termination Date defined in the Purchase Agreement.

  5. How does the Amendment change nVent's existing credit facilities?

    Amendment No. 2 adds limited conditionality to a $250.0 million revolving credit sublimit so it can be used to finance part of the acquisition and related fees and expenses. The aggregate capacity of the Credit Agreement remains at up to $875.0 million both before and after the amendment.
