Material Agreement, Financial Obligation (Form 8-K)

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 19, 2025, Netflix, Inc. ("Netflix") successfully replaced a portion of the commitments under its previously disclosed bridge commitment letter with a more permanent and cost effective funding structure, as further described below.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 19, 2025, Netflix entered into a Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a $5,000,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility. Netflix may use the proceeds of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement (i) to pay the cash portion of the purchase price required under the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of December 4, 2025, by and among Netflix, Nightingale Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("WBD"), and New Topco 25, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of WBD, (ii) to pay certain fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the incurrence by Netflix of indebtedness to finance such transactions and (iii) at the option of Netflix, to refinance certain indebtedness. Netflix may also use the proceeds of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes. The aggregate amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement reduced, on a dollar-for-dollarbasis, the commitments under the bridge commitment letter (the "Debt Commitment Letter"), dated as of December 4, 2025, by and among Netflix, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Wells Fargo Strategic Capital, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BNP Paribas, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., HSBC Bank USA, National Association, HSBC Continental Europe, HSBC Bank plc, HSBC Bank Middle East Limited and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc.

Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the date that is the earliest of (i) the date that is the third anniversary of the date of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) the date the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and (iii) December 19, 2030, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. Netflix may exercise the option to extend the maturity date by up to one year (which option may be exercised up to two times over the life of the loan) subject to certain customary conditions. Netflix may optionally prepay the loans or irrevocably reduce or terminate the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than, if applicable, customary breakage costs) at any time.

Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest, at Netflix's option, at either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to a base rate (the "Alternate Base Rate") plus an applicable margin or (ii) a per annum rate equal to a term SOFR rate (the "Term SOFR Rate") plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans will range from 0% to 0.10%, and the applicable margin for Term SOFR Rate loans will range from 0.60% to 1.10%, each based on Netflix's credit ratings.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants (and customary baskets and exceptions with respect thereto) for a credit facility of this size and type, including covenants that require delivery of financial statements and notices of events of default; and covenants that limit or restrict the ability of Netflix and its subsidiaries to incur debt for borrowed money that is secured by liens, and limitations on Netflix's ability to merge or consolidate. The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires Netflix to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

The Revolving Credit Agreement includes customary events of default (subject to customary grace periods), including payment defaults, inaccuracy of representations or warranties in any material respect, violation of covenants, cross acceleration to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events involving Netflix or its significant subsidiaries, material judgments, certain ERISA events and a change of control that is accompanied with or followed by a downgrade of the debt rating of Netflix that is below an investment-grade debt rating. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the termination of the lenders' commitments and the acceleration of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, if any.

The foregoing description of the Revolving Credit Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties' rights under such agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

DDTL Credit Agreement

On December 19, 2025, Netflix entered into a Senior Unsecured Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "DDTL Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent. The DDTL Credit Agreement provides for a two-year$10,000,000,000 unsecured delayed draw term loan credit facility (the "Two-YearFacility") and a three-year $10,000,000,000 unsecured delayed draw term loan credit facility (the "Three-Year Facility"). Netflix may use the proceeds of borrowings under the DDTL Credit Agreement (i) to pay the cash portion of the purchase price required under the Merger Agreement, (ii) to pay certain fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the incurrence by Netflix of indebtedness to finance such transactions and (iii) at the option of Netflix, to refinance certain indebtedness. The aggregate amount of the commitments under the DDTL Credit Agreement reduced, on a dollar-for-dollarbasis, the commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter.

Netflix may optionally prepay the loans or irrevocably reduce or terminate the unutilized portion of the commitments under the DDTL Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than, if applicable, customary breakage costs) at any time. Amounts prepaid under the DDTL Credit Agreement may not be reborrowed.

Delayed draw term loans will bear interest, at Netflix's option, at either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to a base rate (the "Alternate Base Rate") plus an applicable margin or (ii) a per annum rate equal to a term SOFR rate (the "Term SOFR Rate") plus an applicable margin. For the Two-YearFacility, the applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans will range from 0% to 0.125%, and the applicable margin for Term SOFR Rate loans will range from 0.850% to 1.125%, each based on Netflix's credit ratings. For the Three-Year Facility, the applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans will range from 0% to 0.25%, and the applicable margin for Term SOFR Rate loans will range from 0.95% to 1.25%, each based on Netflix's credit ratings.

The DDTL Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants (and customary baskets and exceptions with respect thereto) for a credit facility of this size and type, including covenants that require delivery of financial statements and notices of events of default; and covenants that limit or restrict the ability of Netflix and its subsidiaries to incur debt for borrowed money that is secured by liens, and limitations on Netflix's ability to merge or consolidate. The DDTL Credit Agreement also requires Netflix to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

The DDTL Credit Agreement includes customary events of default (subject to customary grace periods), including payment defaults, inaccuracy of representations or warranties in any material respect, violation of covenants, cross acceleration to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events involving Netflix or its significant subsidiaries, material judgments, certain ERISA events and a change of control that is accompanied with or followed by a downgrade of the debt rating of Netflix that is below an investment-grade debt rating. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the termination of the lenders' commitments and the acceleration of the obligations under the DDTL Agreement, if any.

The foregoing description of the DDTL Credit Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties' rights under such agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the DDTL Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto.
