On July 1, 2026, Qnity Electronics entered into Repricing Amendment No. 1 to its October 31, 2025 credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The amendment lowers the interest margin on all $2,338,250,000 of outstanding term loans, and the company says other loan terms are not materially changed. Lower borrowing costs can help free cash for shareholders, though the filing does not quantify the savings.
