On June 16, 2026, Novelis Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) entered into an amendment (the “ABL Amendment”) to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as previously amended and as amended by the ABL Amendment, the “ABL Facility”), dated as of October 6, 2014, among the Company and subsidiary borrowers party thereto, the guarantors party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders and issuing banks party thereto. The ABL Amendment increases the commitments under the ABL Facility by $500 million to $3.0 billion and extends the maturity of the ABL Facility until June 16, 2031; provided that, in the event that our senior unsecured notes, secured term loan agreement or certain other indebtedness is outstanding 60 days prior to its maturity (and not refinanced with a maturity date at least six months later than June 16, 2031), then the ABL Facility will mature 60 days prior to the maturity date for such other indebtedness, as applicable; unless excess availability under the ABL Facility is at least (i) 17.5% of the lesser of (x) the total ABL Facility commitment and (y) the then applicable borrowing base or (ii) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) the total ABL Facility commitment and (y) the then applicable borrowing base, and a minimum fixed charge ratio test of at least 1.25 to 1 is met.
The ABL Amendment also makes certain changes to the ABL Facility that give the Company additional flexibility to operate its business.
