The new facility bears interest at term SOFR, EURIBOR, daily simple ESTR or base rates plus an applicable margin, initially 1.125%b for term SOFR, EURIBOR and daily simple ESTR borrowings and 0.125% for base rate borrowings, with the margin adjustable based on Otis's public debt rating.
Otis may increase the revolving commitment by up to $500 millionc. Borrowings are available for general corporate purposes. Otis guarantees the obligations of OIL and any other subsidiary borrowers.
The credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limits on liens and sale and leaseback transactions for Otis and its wholly-owned domestic manufacturing subsidiaries, limits on fundamental changes, and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant. Violations or other customary events of default could lead to acceleration of amounts outstanding and termination of lender commitments.
