Material Agreement, Financial Obligation, Termination of Material Agreement (Form 8-K)

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 8, 2025, Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis"), entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") governing its unsecured $1,500 million revolving credit facility, which matures on August 8, 2030. The Credit Agreement was entered into by and among Otis, as borrower, Otis Intercompany Lending Designated Activity Company, a designated activity company organized under the laws of Ireland ("OIL"), as subsidiary borrower, each other subsidiary borrower party thereto from time to time, the lenders party thereto JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM"), as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto from time to time.

Also on August 8, 2025, Otis terminated all commitments outstanding under the existing credit agreement by and among, Otis, as borrower, OIL, as subsidiary borrower, the lenders party thereto, JPM as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto (the "Terminated Credit Agreement"). The Terminated Credit Agreement was scheduled to expire on March 10, 2028. No early termination penalties were incurred by Otis as a result of the termination of the Terminated Credit Agreement.

The obligations of OIL and any other subsidiary borrower under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Otis.

United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Otis' option, either a term SOFR rate or a base rate, and euro-denominated borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Otis' option, either a EURIBO rate or a daily simple ESTR rate, in each case calculated in a manner set forth in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin.

The applicable margin initially is 1.125% for term SOFR rate, EURIBO rate and daily simple ESTR rate borrowings, and 0.125% for base rate borrowings, and can fluctuate, determined by reference to Otis' public debt rating, as specified in the Credit Agreement. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, and are available for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement enables Otis, from time to time, to increase the revolving credit commitment in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500 million.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type that, among other things, limit the ability of Otis and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries primarily engaged in manufacturing to incur additional liens and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and limit the ability of Otis and its subsidiaries to make certain fundamental changes. The Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant that requires Otis to maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. A violation of any of these covenants could result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such an event of default or certain other customary events of default, payment of any outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the lenders' commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement may be terminated.

The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
