- : SEC 8-K (8.01): On July 17, 2026, CRH public limited company ('CRH') and its subsidiary entered into a term loan facility agreement for a three-year $2.5 billion loan, aimed at financing part of the merger with Arcosa, Inc. The agreement allows for reducing the previously arranged $5.75 billion bridge facility to $3.25 billion. The term loan bears interest at a rate calculated based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a margin, with a structured ticking fee that escalates over time. This financing is crucial for CRH as part of the strategic acquisition of Arcosa, helping to address existing debts and facilitate the Merger, which integrates Arcosa as a wholly owned subsidiary of CRH Americas, Inc. The financial covenants are noted as customary for investment-grade borrowers, ensuring stability during the transition period.
