Key Details

• $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes issued.
• Maturity date: January 7, 2028 (two-year maturity from issuance).
• Issuance made under the company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-272130).

Why It Matters
This filing documents a short-term debt financing by John Deere Capital Corporation, reflecting the company’s use of the debt markets to raise liquidity or refinance obligations. Because the notes are floating rate, interest payments will vary with market rates, and the notes mature in 2028, meaning the obligation is relatively near-term. Investors should note this as part of the company’s overall capital structure and upcoming debt maturities; the 8-K does not disclose use of proceeds or pricing terms (coupon spread), which would affect interest cost.
