Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 17, 2024, Philip Morris International Inc. (“PMI”) entered into a credit agreement, effective as of January 29, 2025 (the “Credit Agreement”), relating to a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with the lenders named therein and Citibank Europe PLC, UK Branch, as facility agent. The Facility provides for borrowings up to an aggregate principal amount of €1.5 billion (approximately $1.6 billion) and expires on January 29, 2028, unless extended as further described in the Credit Agreement.
Interest rates on borrowings under the Facility will be based on prevailing interest rates as further described in the Credit Agreement. The Facility will be used for general corporate purposes, including to meet working capital requirements.
The Credit Agreement contains certain events of default customary for credit facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable), including nonpayment of principal or interest when due; material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made; breach of covenants; bankruptcy and insolvency; unsatisfied ERISA obligations; unstayed material judgment beyond specified periods; acceleration or payment default of other material indebtedness; and invalidation of PMI’s guaranty of subsidiary borrowings.
If any events of default occur and are not cured within applicable grace periods or waived, any outstanding loans may be accelerated and the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. The occurrence of a bankruptcy and insolvency event of default will result in the automatic termination of commitments and acceleration of outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement.
Certain of the lenders and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial and investment banking services for PMI, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. Certain affiliates of the lenders are underwriters of certain of PMI’s note issuances. PMI and some of its subsidiaries may enter into foreign exchange and other derivative arrangements with certain of the lenders and their affiliates. In addition, certain of the lenders and their respective affiliates act as dealers in connection with PMI’s commercial paper programs.
The description above is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
