Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 2, 2026, Whirlpool Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the pricing of the previously announced private offering (the “Notes Offering”) by the Company of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 7.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes” and, together with the 2031 Notes, the “Notes”). The sale of the Notes was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Notes were sold on a private placement basis to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
A copy of the press release relating to the pricing of the Notes Offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer to sell, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the securities would be made only by means of a confidential offering memorandum. These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
