FIS Signs $8 Billion Term Loan Agreement to Fund Issuer Solutions Acquisition
Fidelity National Information Services entered a Term Loan Credit Agreement on May 1, 2025, allowing it to borrow up to $8 billion of senior unsecured term loans with Goldman Sachs Bank USA as administrative agent. The loans would fund the purchase of the Issuer Solutions Business and related fees, replacing a $8 billion bridge facility that was terminated. The filing does not report any borrowing yet, so the actual debt load is undetermined until the company draws on the facility.
Key points
- Up to $8,000,000,000 in 364-day senior unsecured term loans, available to fund the Issuer Solutions Business acquisition and related costs
- Interest set at Term SOFR plus 0.10% and a 1.00% to 1.625% margin, or a base rate plus 0.00% to 0.625%, depending on the company's debt rating; margin rises 0.25% each quarter loans remain outstanding
- Requires a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.00, which may increase after certain acquisitions close
- Replaces the $8,000,000,000 bridge commitment dated April 17, 2025, which was reduced to $0 and terminated
