AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Rockwell Automation (ROK)

Rockwell Automation enters $1.5 billion five-year revolving credit agreement

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 financing Written later

On November 18, 2025, Rockwell Automation entered a $1.5 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement with Bank of America as administrative agent. It replaces a $1.5 billion agreement dated June 29, 2022, which ended early with no early termination penalties, and the proceeds will fund general corporate purposes. The facility keeps the same size, so the filing describes a refinancing rather than new borrowing capacity.

Key points

  • $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement dated November 18, 2025, with a five-year term
  • Replaces the June 29, 2022 $1.5 billion agreement, which terminated early with no penalties
  • Company may increase commitments by up to $750 million, subject to conditions, and has two one-year extension options
  • Interest margins range from 0.695% to 1.125% for SOFR loans, based on credit ratings; covenant requires a ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00
