AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Baker Hughes (BKR)

Baker Hughes sets $2.6 billion term loan to help fund Chart Industries acquisition

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 financing Written later

Baker Hughes Holdings LLC and parent Baker Hughes Company signed a $2.6 billion senior unsecured delayed draw term loan on August 15, 2025, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA as administrative agent. The loan is meant to help finance the previously announced acquisition of Chart Industries, and the funds can be used only if that acquisition closes, so shareholders will see added debt only if the deal proceeds.

Key points

  • Facility size: $2.6 billion in aggregate lending commitments, fully guaranteed by Baker Hughes Company
  • Interest: Term SOFR plus a 10 bps credit spread adjustment and a 62.5 to 112.5 bps margin based on credit ratings, or an alternate base rate plus 0 to 12.5 bps
  • Loans mature 2 years from the funding date; commitments end if the Chart acquisition closes without funding or if the merger agreement is terminated
  • The Chart merger agreement is dated July 28, 2025; the loan is available only if the acquisition closes concurrently
