FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO LLC 8-K

What Happened

• On February 17, 2026, Ford Motor Credit Co LLC announced it issued and sold two euro‑denominated note series totaling €1.5 billion: €750,000,000 of 3.305% Notes due May 17, 2029, and €750,000,000 of 4.087% Notes due February 17, 2033. The securities were issued under the company’s effective Form S‑3 registration statement (No. 333-276916). An opinion on the legality of the Notes from David J. Witten, Assistant Secretary and Attorney to the Company, was filed as an exhibit to the 8‑K.

Key Details

• Total issued: €1,500,000,000 (two tranches of €750,000,000 each).
• 2029 Notes: 3.305% coupon, maturity May 17, 2029.
• 2033 Notes: 4.087% coupon, maturity February 17, 2033.
• Issuance reported on Form 8‑K under Item 8.01; legal opinion filed as Exhibit 5.

Why It Matters

• The company raised €1.5 billion of fixed‑rate, long‑term funding, which affects its debt and maturity profile and establishes known interest obligations through 2029 and 2033.
• Because the notes are euro‑denominated, investors should note potential currency exposure and how the issuance fits with Ford Motor Credit’s broader funding strategy.
• The filing of a legal opinion and use of an effective Form S‑3 indicate the offering was performed under an existing registration framework; investors may watch subsequent disclosures for use of proceeds and any changes to leverage or liquidity metrics.
