Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 17, 2026, Xerox Corporation (“
Xerox
”), a New York corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox Holdings Corporation (“
Holdings
”), a New York corporation, and certain investors including certain funds and accounts managed by Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. (collectively, “
TPG
”) entered into a joint venture arrangement (the “
Joint Venture
”) pursuant to which TPG and certain other investors funded $405,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loans (the “
Term Loans
”) to, and purchased $45,000,000 of Class A Units from, XRX Brandco Holdings LLC (“
IPCo
Holdings
”) (the “
Joint Venture Financing
”). The proceeds of the Joint Venture Financing were distributed by IPCo Holdings to Xerox (the “
Distribution
”) and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, augmenting liquidity, accelerating the Reinvention (including the Lexmark integration) and opportunistically addressing Holdings’ capital structure over time (which may include the redemption or repayment of debt).
In connection with the formation of the Joint Venture, Xerox contributed (the “
Contribution
”) certain intellectual property and related assets, including the trademarks in respect of the Xerox brand (collectively, the “
Contributed IP
”), to IPCo Holdings and received Class B Units of IPCo Holdings. Subsequent to the Joint Venture Financing, the Distribution and the Contribution, Xerox contributed cash in an amount roughly equal to $4,750,000 to the common equity capital of IPCo Holdings.
On February 17, 2026 (the “
Closing Date
”), IPCo Holdings, as borrower, entered into that certain credit agreement (the “
Credit Agreement
”) with Alter Domus (US) LLC, as the administrative agent and the collateral agent, and the lending institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders. The proceeds of the Term Loans were distributed to Xerox.
The Term Loans are guaranteed by XRX Brandco LLC (“
IPCo
”), a wholly owned subsidiary of IPCo Holdings.
Borrowings under the Term Loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to either (a) a base rate plus a margin of 7.125% for ABR Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or (b) the applicable term SOFR rate plus a margin of 8.125% for SOFR Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The Term Loans mature on the date that is the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. The Term Loans amortize at a rate of 4.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding as of the Closing Date, with such amounts payable in equal quarterly installments, commencing following the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026. The remaining outstanding principal balance is due in full at maturity.
The Term Loans are subject to customary voluntary and mandatory prepayment provisions, including requirements to prepay the Term Loans with the proceeds of certain indebtedness and excess cash flow.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default for borrowers and facilities of this type, including, among others, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other indebtedness and insolvency events. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants for borrowers and facilities of this type that, among other things, restrict the ability of IPCo Holdings and its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions, make investments, incur additional indebtedness and engage in certain other activities.
