Brady Corp signs $1.0 billion credit agreement to finance Honeywell PSS acquisition

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 financing Written later

Brady Corporation entered a $1.0 billion credit agreement on June 12, 2026, consisting of a $500 million term loan and a $500 million revolving credit facility, which replaced its prior 2019 credit agreement. The company says it will use the borrowings mainly to finance its pending acquisition of Honeywell's Productivity Solutions and Services business, which means the company will take on new debt tied to that deal.

Key points

  • Credit agreement dated June 12, 2026: $500 million term loan plus $500 million revolving credit facility, maturing June 12, 2031
  • Replaces previous credit agreement dated August 1, 2019; €13.0 million of revolving loans were exchanged and other obligations repaid in full
  • Revolver availability capped at $300 million until the PSS acquisition closes, then expands to the full $500 million
  • Maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 (temporarily up to 4.00 to 1.00 after closing) and minimum interest coverage of 3.00 to 1.00
