First Lien Credit Agreement
The Company’s first lien credit agreement dated as of July 1, 2015 (together with subsequent amendments and restatements, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) provides for term loans (the “First Lien Term Loan B due 2030” and the “First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032,” together, the “First Lien Term Loan Bs”) and a revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolving Credit Facility”).
Prime Security Services Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC (“Prime Borrower”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Holdings, and The ADT Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Prime Borrower (together with Prime Borrower, the “Borrowers”), are parties to the First Lien Credit Agreement as holdings and borrowers respectively. Indebtedness incurred under the First Lien Credit Agreement is guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by substantially all of Prime Borrower’s wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries, and by Prime Borrower’s direct parent on a limited recourse basis, and is secured by a pledge of Prime Borrower’s capital stock directly held by its direct parent and by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of Prime Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors, in each case, subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions.
The First Lien Term Loan B due 2030
The First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 requires scheduled quarterly amortization payments equal to 0.25% of its outstanding principal amount at the time of the December 2024 amendment (discussed below), with the remaining balance payable at maturity.
The Borrowers may make voluntary prepayments on the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 at any time prior to maturity at par, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in the event of certain specified refinancing events at any time before June 2025.
Additionally, based on certain specified net first lien leverage ratios, the Borrowers may be required to make annual prepayments on the outstanding First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 with a percentage of the Company’s excess cash flow, as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement, if the excess cash flow exceeds a certain specified threshold, which is 0% if our net first lien leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.20 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2025, the Borrowers were not required to make an annual prepayment based on the Company’s excess cash flow.
The First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Prime Borrower’s option, either (a) a term SOFR rate (“Term SOFR”) with a floor of zero or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the rate of interest per annum last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States and (iii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum (“Base Rate”), in each case, plus an applicable margin of 2.00% per annum for Term SOFR loans and 1.00% per annum for Base Rate loans. Prime Borrower has elected the Term SOFR alternative to apply to borrowings of the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030.
The First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032
The First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 requires scheduled quarterly amortization payments equal to 0.25% of its original principal amount with the remaining balance payable at maturity.
The Borrowers may make voluntary prepayments on the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 at any time prior to maturity at par, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in the event of certain specified refinancing events during the first six months after the most recent amendment.
The First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Prime Borrower’s option, either (a) a term SOFR rate with a floor of zero or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the rate of interest per annum last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States and (iii) the Base Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 1.75% per annum for Term SOFR loans and 0.75% per annum for Base Rate loans. Prime Borrower has elected the Term SOFR alternative to apply to borrowings of the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032.
The First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 is subject to a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the maturity date of certain long-term indebtedness of Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC and its subsidiaries if, on such date, the aggregate principal amount of such indebtedness equals or exceeds $1 billion. Loans under the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 are treated as a separate class from the existing loans under the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030.
First Lien Revolving Credit Facility
The applicable margin for borrowings under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility is 2.00% for Term SOFR loans (subject to a credit spread adjustment) and 1.00% for Base Rate loans, in each case, subject to adjustment pursuant to a leverage-based pricing grid, subject to two step downs to 1.75% and 1.50% based on a net first lien leverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 and 1.50 to 1.00, respectively. In addition, the Borrowers are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.30%, with step downs to 0.25% and 0.20% based on a net first lien leverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 and 1.50 to 1.00, respectively, with respect to the unused commitments under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.
The First Lien Revolving Credit Facility is also subject to a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the maturity date of certain long-term indebtedness if, as of such date, the outstanding principal amount of such indebtedness exceeds $350 million.
The aggregate amount of commitments under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility is $800 million.

2020 Receivables Facility
During March 2020, the Company entered into the 2020 Receivables Facility, as amended, whereby the Company obtains financing by selling or contributing certain retail installment contract receivables to the Company’s wholly-owned consolidated bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (“SPE”). The SPE grants a security interest in those retail installment contract receivables as collateral for cash borrowings under the 2020 Receivables Facility. The SPE borrower under the 2020 Receivables Facility is a separate legal entity with its own creditors who will be entitled, prior to and upon the liquidation of the SPE, to be satisfied out of the SPE’s assets prior to any assets of the SPE becoming available to the Company (other than the SPE). Accordingly, the assets of the SPE are not available to pay creditors of the Company (other than the SPE), although collections from the transferred retail installment contract receivables in excess of amounts required to repay amounts then due and payable to the SPE’s creditors may be released to the Company and subsequently used by the Company (including to pay other creditors). The SPE’s creditors under the 2020 Receivables Facility have legal recourse to the transferred retail installment contract receivables owned by the SPE, and to the Company for certain performance and operational obligations relating to the 2020 Receivables Facility, but do not have any recourse to the Company (other than the SPE) for the payment of principal and interest on the advances under the 2020 Receivables Facility.
Significant amendments to the 2020 Receivables Facility during the periods presented were as follows:
March 2023 - The borrowing capacity was increased from $400 million to $500 million and the uncommitted revolving period was extended from May 2023 to March 2024, among other things.
March 2024 - The uncommitted revolving period was extended from March 2024 to April 2024.
April 2024 - The borrowing capacity was increased from $500 million to $550 million and the uncommitted revolving period was extended from April 2024 to April 2025, among other things. In addition, proceeds and repayments from the receivables facility during 2024 include the impact of $32 million from these amendments.
March 2025 - The uncommitted revolving period was extended to March 2026, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings was reduced, and the advance rate on pledged collateral was increased.
The Company services the transferred retail installment contract receivables and is responsible for ensuring the related collections are remitted to a segregated bank account in the SPE’s name. On a monthly basis, the segregated account is utilized to make required principal, interest, and other payments due under the 2020 Receivables Facility. The segregated account is considered restricted cash.
Proceeds and repayments from the 2020 Receivables Facility are presented in cash flows from financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the 2020 Receivables Facility was primarily due to the allowance for credit losses and interest expense during the periods presented.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an uncommitted available borrowing capacity under the 2020 Receivables Facility of $107 million.
Variable Interest Entity
The SPE, as described above, meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct the SPE’s activities and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the SPE. As such, the SPE’s assets, liabilities, and financial results of operations are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the SPE’s assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a portion of the Company’s unbilled retail installment contract receivables, net, of $593 million and $575 million, respectively, and borrowings under the 2020 Receivables Facility as presented above.
Debt Covenants
The Company’s credit agreements and indentures associated with the borrowings above contain certain covenants and restrictions that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things: (a) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred equity interests; (b) create liens on certain assets; (c) make certain loans or investments (including acquisitions); (d) pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of the capital stock or make other restricted payments; (e) consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (f) sell assets; (g) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (h) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (i) restrict dividends from the Company’s subsidiaries or restrict liens; (j) change the Company’s fiscal year; and (k) modify the terms of certain debt or organizational agreements.
The Company’s credit agreements and indentures associated with the borrowings above also provide for customary events of default.
The Company is subject to a springing financial maintenance covenant under the First Lien Credit Agreement, which requires the Company to not exceed a specified first lien leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter if the testing conditions are satisfied. The covenant is tested if the outstanding loans under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions, exceed 30% of the total commitments under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenant and other maintenance tests for all debt obligations.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
