This 8-K finalizes the terms and closing of the debt offering previously disclosed on February 3, 2026. The successful issuance of $500 million in 4.150% notes demonstrates the company's ability to access capital markets for refinancing. While the new notes carry a significantly higher interest rate compared to the maturing 0.90% notes, reflecting the current interest rate environment, this transaction effectively extends the company's debt maturity profile and manages its capital structure. This is a routine but substantial capital management event for a company of McCormick's size.
