Analysis · FUL · Industrial Applications And Services
H.B. Fuller refinanced its credit agreement, replacing existing term A and revolving loans with a new $420M term A loan and an $800M revolving facility (up from $700M). The maturity was pushed to 2031 and pricing improved by 25 bps. The company also terminated the $2.087B bridge loan it had arranged just weeks ago to fund the £715M Advanced Medical Solutions acquisition — no amounts were drawn, signaling the bridge was a backstop. The amended credit agreement now explicitly permits up to $1B in debt for the Amsterdam acquisition, clearing the path for permanent financing. This is a significant capital structure refresh that supports the transformative acquisition while reducing near-term refinancing risk.
