Vertiv Announces Completion of $2.1 Billion Senior Unsecured Bond Offering and $2.5 Billion Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 3, 2026 - Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT) (the “Company” or “Vertiv”), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, announced today the successful completion of a $2.1 billion Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Notes”) offering, and closing of a new $2.5 billion Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility).

The Notes offering was the Company’s debut offering with an investment grade credit rating. The Company raised $2.08 billion in net proceeds from the Notes offering, which was used, together with cash on hand, to repay in full the outstanding balance under the Company’s existing secured term loan and pay related fees and expenses. The offering was split across four tranches of Notes, with 10-year, 20-year, 30-year, and 40-year maturities, which extends the weighted average maturity of Vertiv’s debt portfolio.

The Company has also entered into a new Revolving Credit Facility with a five-year maturity, which has refinanced and replaced the Company’s prior $800 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “RCF Refinancing”). Following the completion of the Notes offering and the RCF Refinancing, all amounts owed under the Company’s existing term loan and the asset-based revolving credit facility have been repaid in full, all commitments with respect thereto have been terminated, and all related guarantees and liens have been released.

On February 12, 2026 and February 19, 2026, each of S&P and Moody’s upgraded Vertiv’s debt rating by one notch. Vertiv’s debt ratings are Baa3 / BBB- / BBB- from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively.

“We are proud to have received investment grade ratings from all three ratings agencies. We are very pleased with the result of the Notes offering and the Revolving Credit Facility which allows us to maintain our strong net debt financial position. Together, these financing initiatives will bolster the Company’s liquidity and provide financial flexibility to support the Company’s growth strategy. This completes an important step in our refinancing efforts and enables us to significantly strengthen our debt portfolio,” said Giordano Albertazzi, Chief Executive Officer at Vertiv. “Significantly oversubscribed demand for the transaction speaks to our stakeholders’ conviction in Vertiv and confidence in our strategy and future outlook.”

BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, ING Financial Markets LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as joint active bookrunners for the offering of the Notes.

The offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement (including a prospectus and related prospectus supplement) filed by Vertiv with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The offering was made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus.
