Shift4 Payments cuts term loan rate margin to 2.00% in $997.5 million credit refinancing

Positive Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

On January 5, 2026, subsidiary Shift4, LLC amended its First Lien Credit Agreement to replace all outstanding term loans with new Amendment No. 3 Refinancing Term Loans. The interest rate margins on those loans fell, which lowers the borrowing cost on the company's term debt. As of January 5, 2026, $997.5 million of these term loans was outstanding and the revolving loans were undrawn.

Key points

  • Amendment No. 3 was entered into January 5, 2026, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA as administrative agent
  • SOFR-based term loan margin cut from 2.50%-2.75% to 2.00% per annum
  • Alternate base rate loan margin cut from 1.50%-1.75% to 1.00% per annum
  • $997.5 million of refinancing term loans outstanding; $0 drawn on revolving loans
