Notes and 2033 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
In February 2026, we entered into a supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the Notes as a result of which nVent Electric plc and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guarantee the Notes of nVent Finance (together with nVent Electric plc and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc., the "Obligor Group"). nVent Electric plc is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. nVent Finance is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries and the issuance of the Notes and other external debt. Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. is a United States holding company and a 100 percent-owned indirect subsidiary of nVent Electric plc that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries and the guarantees of the Notes and other external debt. nVent Electric plc’s principal source of cash flow, including cash flow to make payments on the Notes pursuant to the guarantees, is dividends from its subsidiaries. nVent Finance's principal source of cash flow, including to make payments on the Notes, is interest income from its subsidiaries. Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc.'s principal source of cash flow, including to make payments on the Notes pursuant to the guarantees, is interest income from its subsidiaries. None of the other subsidiaries of any of the Obligor Group are under any direct obligation to pay or otherwise fund amounts due on the Notes or the guarantees, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, there may be statutory and regulatory limitations on
the payment of dividends from certain subsidiaries of the Obligor Group. If such subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to the Obligor Group and sufficient cash or liquidity is not otherwise available, the Obligor Group may not be able to make principal and interest payments on their outstanding debt, including the Notes or the guarantees.
The Notes constitute general unsecured senior obligations of nVent Finance and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of nVent Finance. The guarantees of the Notes by nVent Electric plc and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. constitute general unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of nVent Finance. Subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued contains covenants that, among other things, restrict nVent Electric plc's, Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc.'s, nVent Finance’s and certain subsidiaries’ ability to merge or consolidate with another person, create liens or engage in sale and lease-back transactions.
There are no significant restrictions on the ability of nVent Electric plc to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

Senior credit facilities
In September 2021, nVent and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "2021 Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2021 Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. In 2025, nVent repaid the remainder of the borrowings on the 2021 Term Loan Facility.
In June 2025, nVent and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year 275.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2025 Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the 2025 Term Loan Facility, the "Senior Credit Facilities"). The Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety the 2021 Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted from time to time during the full five-year term of the Revolving Credit Facility. nVent Finance has the option to request to increase the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders.
As of December 31, 2025, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $600.0 million.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate, the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”), Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) or, solely for swingline loans denominated in Euro, the Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on, at nVent Finance’s election, nVent's net leverage ratio or public debt rating.
In April 2023, nVent and nVent Finance entered into a loan agreement providing for another unsecured term loan facility of $300.0 million for five-years (the "2023 Term Loan Facility"), which was used to fund the acquisition of ECM Industries. In 2025, nVent repaid the remainder of the borrowings on the 2023 Term Loan Facility.
In June 2024, nVent and nVent Finance entered into a loan agreement providing for an additional senior unsecured term loan facility of $500.0 million for two years (the "2024 Term Loan Facility"). In July 2024, nVent partially financed the acquisition of Trachte using the 2024 Term Loan Facility. In 2025, nVent repaid the remainder of the borrowings on the 2024 Term Loan Facility.
Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which are in the Senior Credit Facilities, including that we may not permit (i) the ratio of our consolidated debt (net of our consolidated unrestricted cash in excess of $5.0 million but not to exceed $250.0 million) to our consolidated net income (excluding, among other things, non-cash gains and losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation expense ("EBITDA") on the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (each, a "testing period") to exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (or, at nVent Finance’s election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions) and (ii) the ratio of our EBITDA to our consolidated interest expense for the same period to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. In addition, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the Senior Credit Facilities also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to create liens, merge or consolidate with another person, make acquisitions and incur subsidiary debt. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt agreements, and there is no material uncertainty about our ongoing ability to meet those covenants.

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.
