Summary
This 8-K filing from Ingersoll-Rand PLC (now Trane Technologies plc), dated May 26, 2010, announces the establishment of a new $1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility has a three-year term and will primarily be used for working capital, supporting commercial paper programs, and general corporate purposes for the borrower and its subsidiaries.
