Long-Term Debt
Note 12 — Long-Term Debt
5.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2030
On February 10, 2022 Embecta issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior secured notes due February 15, 2030 (the “5.00% Notes”). Interest payments on the 5.00% Notes are due semi-annually in February and August until maturity.
6.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2030
On March 31, 2022, Embecta issued $200.0 million of 6.75% Related Party Notes at a discount of $3.0 million. The Related Party Notes issued to BD were not issued for cash and instead were subject to a debt-for-debt exchange which occurred on April 1, 2022.
On April 1, 2022, BD transferred the Related Party Notes with a notional value of $200.0 million issued by Embecta to Morgan Stanley in exchange for certain notes of BD that were purchased by Morgan Stanley pursuant to a tender offer. Morgan Stanley then sold the senior secured notes to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of April 1, 2022, the 6.75% senior secured notes (the "6.75% Notes") became third party debt of Embecta. Interest payments on the 6.75% Notes are due semi-annually in February and August until maturity. The 6.75% Notes will mature on February 15, 2030.
Credit Agreement
On March 31, 2022, Embecta entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), providing for:
a Term Loan B Facility (the "Term Loan") in the amount of $950.0 million, with a seven-year term that matures in March 2029. The interest rate is 300 basis points over the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), with a 0.50% SOFR floor. The Term Loan was issued at a discount of 0.50%. Principal and interest payments on the Term Loan commenced on June 30, 2022. Such quarterly principal payments are calculated as 0.25% of the initial principal amount, with the remaining balance payable upon maturity. Per the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company may from time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty subject to certain exceptions.
a Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million, with a five-year term that matures in 2027. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at Embecta’s option, at an annual rate equal to (a) in the case of loans denominated in United States dollars (i) the SOFR or (ii) the alternate base rate or (b) in the case of loans denominated in Euros, the EURIBOR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin specified in the credit agreement. A commitment fee applies to the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, equal to 0.25% per annum. As of September 30, 2025, no amount has been drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Credit Agreement and the indentures for Embecta's outstanding 5.00% Notes and 6.75% Notes contain customary financial covenants, including a total net leverage ratio covenant, which measures the ratio of (i) consolidated total net debt to (ii) consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and subject to other adjustments, must meet certain defined limits which are tested on a quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the 5.00% Notes and 6.75% Notes. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains covenants that will limit, among other things, Embecta’s ability to prepay, redeem or repurchase its subordinated and junior lien debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase equity interests, and create or become subject to liens. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of such covenants. The credit agreement and the senior secured notes are secured by substantially all assets of Embecta and each subsidiary guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
