Positive Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

Sotera Health Company and its subsidiaries signed Amendment No. 7 to its First Lien Credit Agreement on May 20, 2026, under which refinancing lenders will provide $1.42 billion in repriced term loans to Sotera Health Holdings, LLC. The amendment reduces the interest rate spread by 0.25% across the facility's term loans, which lowers the company's borrowing cost on that debt.

  • Interest margin is Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.25%, with a 0.00% floor, and the spread on term loans is reduced by 0.25%.

  • A 1.00% soft call premium applies to certain repricing transactions completed within six months after the amendment's effective date.
