01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed February 9, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

On February 9, 2026, TE Connectivity plc's wholly owned subsidiary, Tyco Electronics Group S.A.

(TEGSA), closed a $750 milliona senior notes offering. It issued $200 million of additional 4.500% Senior Notes due 2031, priced at 100.907%, and $550 million of new 4.875% Senior Notes due 2036, priced at 99.718%. The additional 2031 notes are fungible with the existing $450 million 2031 notes, bringing that series to $650 million outstanding.

Net proceeds were approximately $745.5 millionb before other expenses. The company plans to use the proceeds to repay outstanding debt, specifically the 3.700% Senior Notes due 2026 and the 4.500% Senior Notes due 2026, and for general corporate purposes. The filing does not state the principal amounts of those 2026 maturities.

Refinancing near-term debt and extending maturities to 2031 and 2036 reduces near-term refinancing risk. The new 4.875%c coupon on the 2036 notes is a modest cost of capital for an investment-grade industrial issuer, and the filing does not provide a rationale tied to a specific earnings or leverage target. The notes are unsecured senior obligations of TEGSA, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by TE Connectivity plc and TE Connectivity Switzerland Ltd. They rank equally with TEGSA's existing and future senior debt.

The offering was made under an effective Form S-3 shelf registration (No. 333-282440) and was priced under an underwriting agreement dated January 26, 2026. BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs acted as underwriters. The filing is administrative in nature and does not disclose new operating results or guidance.
