AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · ADI Global Distribution (ADIG)

ADI Global Distribution completes Resideo spin-off and begins trading as ADIG

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 restructuring Written later

ADI Global Distribution completed its separation from Resideo on August 3, 2026, when Resideo shareholders received ADI common stock and ADI began trading on the NYSE under the symbol ADIG. To fund a $900 million cash dividend paid to Resideo, ADI's subsidiary issued $400 million of 7.125% senior notes due 2034 and ADI borrowed a $600 million term loan under a credit agreement that also includes a $500 million revolving facility. The filing shows ADI is now an independent company with a new debt load, a new eight-member board, and a large preferred-equity stake held by the CD&R Group.

Key points

  • Resideo shareholders received one ADI common share for every two Resideo shares held as of the July 20, 2026 record date; fractional shares were sold and the cash proceeds distributed.
  • ADI issued $400 million of 7.125% senior notes due 2034 and funded a $600 million term loan, with the notes proceeds released from escrow on August 3, 2026.
  • ADI paid a one-time $900 million cash dividend to Resideo as partial consideration for assets and liabilities transferred to ADI.
  • The CD&R Group will hold shares and ADI preferred stock representing about 19.69% of total voting power on an as-converted basis, with two directors designable.
