Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed January 14, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Block, Inc. (XYZ) entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement on January 14, 2026, with lenders party to the agreement and Goldman Sachs Bank USA as administrative agent.
The agreement amends and restates the Revolving Credit Agreement dated May 1, 2020, and increases the unsecured revolving loan facility from up to $775.0 million to up to $900.0 milliona. The facility matures on January 14, 2031, subject to an earlier maturity date tied to the maturity of Block's existing convertible notes or senior notes if liquidity would be less than $250 million on a pro forma basis at that time. As of January 14, 2026, no borrowings or letters of credit were outstanding under the facility.
Loans bear interest at either a Term SOFR-based rate plus a margin of 1.25%b to 1.75%, or a base rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 0.75%, with both margins depending on Block's total net leverage ratio. Proceeds may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The agreement requires Block to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio, measured quarterly, and includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on debt, liens, sale and leaseback transactions, investments, and restricted payments by Block and its subsidiaries, as defined in the agreement.
The filing also notes customary events of default, including a change of control, and states that certain lenders and their affiliates have engaged in and may continue to engage in investment banking and other commercial dealings with Block in the ordinary course. The filing states that the full agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1. Separately, the filing states that Block has adopted a distributed work model and has no formal headquarters, so the stated address is its principal executive office for SEC purposes.
