Keurig Dr Pepper amends term loan, extends €2.6 billion to 15 months for JDE Peet's deal
On March 6, 2026, Keurig Dr Pepper amended its term loan, adding subsidiary Maple Parent Holdings Corp. as a co-borrower. KDP will be released from the loan when its coffee and beverage separation is completed, and the company expects to use the borrowings, with other financing, to fund its JDE Peet's acquisition. The company also proposed a private offering of senior unsecured notes in U.S. dollars and euros, subject to market conditions, but the filing does not state the offering size, so shareholders face a large financing step whose final terms remain unknown.
Key points
- Amendment No. 1 dated March 6, 2026 makes Maple Parent Holdings Corp. a co-borrower, jointly and severally liable with KDP.
- €2.6 billion of the term loan is extended to 15 months from initial funding; the remaining €7.75 billion keeps a 364-day maturity.
- KDP is released from the loan upon completion of the Separation, and Maple will then be the sole borrower.
- KDP Coffee Co net income was $700 million in 2025, down from $739 million in 2024, per the exhibit financial information.
