Midera Food Processing signs $1.0 billion credit agreement ahead of spin-off
Midera Food Processing, a Middleby subsidiary, entered a five-year, $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement with Bank of America as administrative agent on June 29, 2026, in connection with its planned spin-off. The Borrower used borrowings and cash on hand to make a $233 million distribution to a Middleby subsidiary, and the spin-off is expected to take effect July 6, 2026, which means shareholders of Middleby will receive Midera shares and Midera will carry this new debt.
