This filing is a procedural step in the Kimberly-Clark acquisition financing — the indenture amendments remove restrictive covenants on Kenvue's notes to enable the exchange. Monitor for the closing of the acquisition and the settlement of the exchange offers, which will trigger the amendments.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Kenvue entered into a Third Supplemental Indenture to eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default on its $7.0B outstanding senior notes, in connection with Kimberly-Clark's exchange offers for those notes. The amendments become operative only upon settlement of the exchange offers, which is expected to occur around the closing of Kimberly-Clark's acquisition of Kenvue. This is a procedural step facilitating the acquisition financing, with no new financial impact on Kenvue's common equity.
Key Facts
- Kenvue entered into a Third Supplemental Indenture on October 9, 2026, amending the indenture governing $7.0B aggregate principal of seven series of senior notes.
- The amendments eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants, certain events of default, SEC reporting covenants, and merger/asset-sale restrictions.
- The amendments become operative only upon settlement of Kimberly-Clark's exchange offers for the Kenvue notes, expected at the closing of the acquisition.
- The exchange offers are for up to $7.0B aggregate principal amount of new Kimberly-Clark notes and cash.
- The Expiration Date of the exchange offers is expected to occur on or about the closing date of the acquisition of Kenvue by Kimberly-Clark.
Financial Impact
No new debt or equity issued; the indenture amendments facilitate the exchange of $7.0B in Kenvue notes for Kimberly-Clark notes, a financing step in the pending acquisition.
Risk Factors
- The exchange offers and indenture amendments are contingent on closing of the Kimberly-Clark acquisition; any delay or failure to close would render the amendments inoperative.
- Removal of covenants reduces bondholder protections for holders who do not tender into the exchange.
