AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Korn/Ferry International (KFY)

Korn Ferry enters $600 million term loan, redeems $400 million notes ahead of AMS deal

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

Korn Ferry signed an amended and restated credit agreement on August 18, 2026, adding a $600 million senior secured term loan and keeping its $850 million revolving credit facility, both maturing five years from the effective date. The company used the term loan to fully repay its $400 million 4.625% Senior Notes due 2027 and plans to use the remaining proceeds toward its pending acquisition of AMS. The filing shows new debt that is secured by substantially all company and guarantor assets, a financing step tied to a pending acquisition.

Key points

  • Term loan facility of $600 million; existing $850 million revolving credit facility continued
  • Interest at Term SOFR plus 1.125% to 2.00%, or base rate plus 0.125% to 1.00%, based on consolidated net leverage ratio
  • $400 million 4.625% Senior Notes due 2027 redeemed in full on August 18, 2026 at 100% of principal plus accrued interest
  • Remaining term loan proceeds intended to help fund the pending AMS acquisition
