Item 1.01Item 1.01 - Entry into Material Agreement
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On May 27, 2025, FMC Corporation (the “Company”) completed the sale of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8.450% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Subordinated Notes due 2055 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under and are governed by a Subordinated Indenture, dated as of May 27, 2025 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented and amended by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 27, 2025, by and among the Company and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture, as so supplemented and amended, the “Indenture”). The Notes bear interest (i) from, and including, May 27, 2025 to, but excluding November 1, 2030 (the “First Reset Date”), at a rate of 8.450% per year and (ii) from, and including, the First Reset Date, during each 5-year reset period thereafter, at a rate equal to the 5-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the most recent interest determination date set forth in the Indenture, plus a spread of 4.366%, to be reset on November 1 of every fifth year after 2030; provided that the interest rate during any 5-year reset period will not reset below 8.450%. The Notes will mature on November 1, 2055, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Subject to the Company’s right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes as described in the Indenture, the Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2025. The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part on one or more occasions at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (i) on any day during the period commencing on the date that is 90 days prior to the First Reset Date and ending on and including the First Reset Date and (ii) after the First Reset Date, on any interest payment date for the Notes. The Notes are also redeemable following the occurrence of certain tax and rating agency events as further described in the Indenture. The Notes are subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, to the Company’s senior indebtedness. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem all of the $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.150% Senior Notes due May 18, 2026 and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt. Subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions, the Indenture, among other things, limits the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to create liens and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions and limits the Company’s ability to merge or consolidate with or into other entities or to sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Indenture provides for certain events of default (subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods) which include, among others, non-payment of principal or interest; breach of covenants or warranties in the Indenture; defaults under or failure to pay certain other indebtedness; failure to pay certain final judgments; and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, administration or similar proceedings. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee and the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. The foregoing is a brief description of certain terms of the Indenture and, by its nature, is incomplete. It is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Indenture. The Company is filing the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. The legal opinion of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP as to the validity of the Notes is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and such opinion contains the consent of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP to the filing of its opinion as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
