ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On October 28, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Vontier Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Vontier”), and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders.

The Credit Agreement consists of a three-year, $600 million delayed-draw senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”).

Loans under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at Vontier’s option, at the following variable per annum rates: (A) Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement, which include a SOFR adjustment of 0.10%) for the chosen interest period plus a margin of between 1.000% and 1.625%, depending on Vontier’s long-term debt credit rating; and (B) Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of between 0% and 0.625%, depending on Vontier’s long-term debt credit rating. A single borrowing is available under the Term Loan Facility, subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent described therein, until December 30, 2022. Vontier will pay a ticking fee to the lenders under the Term Loan Facility on the unfunded amount of their commitments multiplied by a percentage between 0.125% and 0.325%, depending on Vontier’s long-term debt credit rating

Two of Vontier’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are guarantors of Vontier’s obligations under the Term Loan Facility.

The above description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement. A copy of the Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
