The company also agreed to a $450,000 amendment fee added to the loan principal, and the Series B holders waived their right to the full dividend on time, which means shareholders face a modified payment schedule and a larger loan balance.

US Foods, Inc. entered into a Fourteenth Amendment to its credit agreement on October 2, 2026, adding a new $810 million senior secured term loan due October 2, 2033. Proceeds, along with cash on hand, were used to repay and prepay existing term loans and certain revolving loans under its asset-based facility, and to pay fees and expenses. The filing does not report earnings or guidance, so its direct effect on shareholders is a refinancing of existing debt and new secured borrowing terms.
New 2026 Term Loan Facility totals $810 million and matures October 2, 2033.
Interest is Term SOFR plus 1.50%, or an alternative base rate plus 0.50%.

The filing gives no dollar amounts, but the changes affect when severance and equity benefits apply to executives, which matters to shareholders because it can affect future executive payouts.
Non-renewal by the company is now a qualifying termination for CEO severance, and the pro-rata current-year bonus eligibility date in a qualifying termination moved from June 30 to March 31.
CFO Paul McGarry and CAO Christine Chang each have an employment agreement dated September 28, 2026, with a one-year initial term and unchanged prior compensation terms.

OPKO Health determined on October 1, 2026 that its 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029, with about $121 million outstanding, are convertible by holders through December 31, 2026, because the stock traded above the trigger price for enough days in the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Snowflake completed a private offering of $3.75 billion in 0.00% convertible senior notes on September 28, 2026, comprising $2.0 billion due 2029 and $1.75 billion due 2031.
