Date of Report: May 5, 2026
Event: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement for a debt offering.
Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or existing debt levels. It details a new financing transaction:
- New Debt Issuance: $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.700% Senior Notes due 2036.
- Expected Closing Date: May 12, 2026.
- Underwriters: BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and Mizuho Securities USA LLC.
Material Changes and Use of Proceeds
The primary material change is the execution of an underwriting agreement to raise capital. The Company intends to use the net proceeds as follows:
- Primary Use: Fund the purchase price for the acquisition of Trillium Flow Technologies Valves Division (the "Trillium Flow Acquisition").
- Secondary Use: General corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of outstanding indebtedness.
- Contingency Plan: If the Trillium Flow Acquisition is not consummated by February 4, 2027 (or a later agreed "Longstop Date"), or if the purchase agreement is terminated, the Company intends to redeem all outstanding Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The filing confirms the strategic intent to acquire the Trillium Flow Technologies Valves Division and secure funding via long-term debt.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Acquisition Risk: The debt issuance is contingent on the successful completion of the Trillium Flow Acquisition. Failure to close the acquisition triggers a mandatory redemption of the Notes.
- Underwriter Relationships: Certain underwriters or their affiliates are lenders under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and may engage in other commercial dealings with the Company.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing date of the $500 million Notes offering (expected May 12, 2026).
- Confirm the status of the Trillium Flow Technologies Valves Division acquisition agreement.
- Review the full text of the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for specific covenants and redemption terms.
- Monitor the Company's liquidity position to ensure it can meet the 101% redemption price if the acquisition fails.
