WHIRLPOOL CORP /DE/ 8-K

What Happened

• Whirlpool Finance Luxembourg S.à r.l. (issuer), Whirlpool Corporation (parent) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A. (trustee) entered into a First Supplemental Indenture dated June 18, 2026 that amends the indenture for the 1.100% Notes due 2027 (ISIN XS1716616179).
• The amendment (from a Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation announced June 1, 2026) replaces references to “one year” with “two years” in Section 10.01 (Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture) for the 2027 Notes, which the company says accelerates its ability to satisfy and discharge the indenture with respect to those notes.
• The Amendment will become operative once Whirlpool purchases all tendered 2027 Notes at the expiration of the tender offer.

Key Details

• As of 5:00 p.m. CET on June 12, 2026, €546,715,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes were validly tendered (about 91.12% of outstanding).
• First Supplemental Indenture dated June 18, 2026 is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the 8-K.
• Parties: Whirlpool Finance Luxembourg S.à r.l. (issuer), Whirlpool Corporation (parent), U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A. as successor trustee.
• The filing notes that offers/solicitations will not be made where unlawful.

Why It Matters

• For investors, this is a material change to the terms governing the 2027 Notes: the amendment shortens the timing constraint for the issuer to satisfy and discharge the indenture, enabling Whirlpool to more quickly complete the debt removal process if the tender offer results in purchase of the tendered notes.
• Bondholders who participated in the consent solicitation and tender offer enabled the change (over 91% tendered), while remaining holders should review the supplemental indenture (Exhibit 4.1) and tender offer materials to understand any remaining rights or options.
