Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On February 12, 2021 (the “Amendment and Restatement Effective Date”), Resideo Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement, by and among the Company, Resideo Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation, Resideo Intermediate Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (“U.S. HoldCo 2”), Resideo Funding Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), certain other subsidiaries of the Company, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Amendment”), which amended and restated in its entirety that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2018 (as amended by that certain First Amendment dated as of November 26, 2019 and that certain Second Amendment dated as of November 16, 2020, the “Existing Credit Agreement”; the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated by the Amendment, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Refinancing”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing of $1,450 million, consisting of:

• a seven-year senior secured term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $950 million (the “Term Loan Facility”); and

• a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

Up to $75 million may be utilized under the Revolving Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit for the benefit of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. Letters of credit are available for issuance under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on terms and conditions customary for financings of this kind, which issuances will reduce the available funds under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Borrower borrowed an aggregate amount of $950 million under the Term Loan Facility on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date. The letters of credit and Revolving Credit Facility are available for working capital and other general corporate purposes from time to time after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Use of Proceeds

Pursuant to the Refinancing, the Borrower used the net proceeds from the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility to repay in full all outstanding term loans under the Existing Credit Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses. All amounts borrowed pursuant to the Term Loan Facility in excess of amounts required to repay the term loans under the Existing Credit Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses were deposited with the Borrower and are available for general corporate purposes. No amounts were drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the consummation of the Refinancing.

Guarantees

All obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally, by: (a) the Company and (b) substantially all of the direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company that are organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Guarantors entered into an amended and restated guarantee under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement concurrently with the effectiveness of the Amendment.

Security

Subject to certain limitations, the Senior Credit Facilities are secured on a first priority basis by: (a) a perfected security interest in the equity interests of each direct subsidiary of the Borrower and each Guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities (subject to certain customary exceptions) and (b) perfected, security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible personal property and material real property of the Borrower and each of the Guarantors under the Senior Credit Facilities, subject, in each case, to certain exceptions. The Borrower and the Guarantors entered into amended and restated collateral agreement concurrently with effectiveness of the Amendment.

Maturity

The Revolving Credit Facility matures five years after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, with certain extension rights in the discretion of each lender. The Term Loan Facility matures seven years after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, with certain extension rights in the discretion of each lender.

Interest Rate and Fees

The Senior Credit Facilities are subject to an interest rate, at the Borrower’s option, of either (a) base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the United States, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.5% and (3) the one month adjusted LIBOR rate, plus 1% per annum (“ABR”) or (b) an adjusted LIBOR rate (“LIBOR”) (which (x) with respect to LIBOR borrowings under Revolving Credit Facility shall not be less than zero and (y) with respect to LIBOR borrowings under the Term Loan Facility shall not be less than 0.5%).

The applicable margin for the Term Loan Facility is 2.25% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% per annum (for ABR loans). The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility varies from 2.25% per annum to 1.75% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% to 0.75% per annum (for ABR loans) based on the leverage ratio under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the interest rates for the Senior Credit Facilities will fluctuate during the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement based on changes in the ABR, LIBOR or future changes in the leverage ratio thereunder. Interest payments with respect to the Term Loan Facility are required to be made either on a quarterly basis (for ABR loans) or at the end of each interest period (for LIBOR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is determined by the leverage ratio under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and ranges from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum.

The Borrower is obligated to make quarterly principal payments throughout the term of the Term Loan Facility according to the amortization provisions in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as such payments may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as a result of the application of loan prepayments made thereunder, if any, prior to the scheduled date of payment thereof.

Prepayments

The Borrower may voluntarily prepay borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement without premium or penalty, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in connection with any repricing transaction with respect to the Term Loan Facility in the first six months after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans. The Borrower may also reduce the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, in whole or in part, in each case, subject to certain minimum amounts and increments.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions in the event that the Company or its subsidiaries incur certain types of indebtedness, receive net cash proceeds from certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property or, starting with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021, 50% of excess cash flow on an annual basis (with step-downs to 25% and 0% subject to compliance with certain leverage ratios), in each case subject to terms and conditions customary for financings of this kind.
