Quaker Chemical entered into an amendment to its credit agreement on October 1, 2026, creating a new $550 million seven-year term loan B facility. Proceeds will repay in full the U.S. Term Loans outstanding under the existing agreement, and the company said the deal extends its debt maturity profile and reduces required annual debt payments.

  • Interest at Term SOFR plus 1.750% for Term SOFR loans; quarterly amortization of 0.25% of initial principal
  • Proceeds repay in full the U.S. Term Loans; their aggregate principal balance is $0 as of the amendment's effective date
  • Facility is secured by first priority liens on substantially all assets and carries a 1.00% prepayment premium for a repricing event within six months
