Monitor for the first draw announcement (required within 60 days, minimum $100M) — that will signal whether the company is refinancing existing maturities or prefunding an acquisition. The 5-year tenor and moderate covenants suggest ample headroom; no immediate catalyst for SXT shares.

Executive Summary
Sensient Technologies entered into a $400M unsecured delayed-draw term loan credit agreement with CoBank as administrative agent and lenders including Compeer Financial. The facility matures in 5 years (June 2031) and proceeds are intended for refinancing existing debt and general corporate purposes. The credit agreement includes standard financial covenants (net leverage <= 3.50x, interest coverage >= 3.00x) and allows for up to 5 draws over 15 months. This is a routine refinancing and liquidity backup, not a transformative event.
