Summary
Intercontinental Exchange amended its $3.9 billion revolving credit facility, extended the maturity for consenting lenders to August 2031, added $1.5 billion in commitments tied to its pending MarketAxess Holdings acquisition, and entered a new $2.0 billion delayed-draw term loan facility with Bank of America as administrative agent. The $6.2 billion bridge facility commitments obtained in July 2026 were reduced to zero, following a $3.73 billion senior notes issuance and the new term loan and revolving commitments.
Key points
- The Fourteenth Amendment to the 2014 credit agreement extends the maturity date for consenting lenders with $3.67 billion in aggregate commitments to August 20, 2031.
- The new $2.0 billion delayed-draw term loan facility has no required amortization and matures 24 months after its funding date.
- Proceeds of the term loan and the MarketAxess revolving commitments are expected to finance part of the consideration for the MarketAxess acquisition, refinance existing MarketAxess debt, and pay related fees and expenses.
- The MarketAxess acquisition is structured as a merger of ICE subsidiary Igloo Merger Sub II, Inc. into MarketAxess Holdings, with MarketAxess surviving as a subsidiary, under a merger agreement dated July 29, 2026.
