United Rentals Closes Three-Series Notes Offering and Amends Credit Facility

According to the filing, United Rentals (North America), Inc. (NYSE:URI) completed the offering on October 29, 2026, issuing notes under a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-299595). The final prospectus supplement was dated October 26, 2026, and filed with the SEC on October 27, 2026. The notes were issued under a Base Indenture and a first Supplemental Indenture, both dated October 29, 2026, with Truist Bank serving as trustee.

The filing describes the notes as "senior unsecured obligations of URNA" that rank equally with URNA's existing and future senior indebtedness, are effectively junior to secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of securing assets, and are senior to subordinated indebtedness. The notes are not guaranteed by any of URNA's subsidiaries and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of URNA's subsidiaries. United Rentals, Inc. (URI) guarantees the notes on a senior unsecured basis, with that guarantee carrying the same ranking structure at the URI parent level.

The indenture contains covenants covering limitations on liens, sale-leaseback transactions, and mergers, consolidations, and asset sales, each subject to exceptions and qualifications as described in the filing. Optional redemption is available before each series' Par Call Date at 100% of principal plus a make-whole premium, and at par on or after each Par Call Date. The Par Call Dates are September 15, 2029 for the 2029 Notes, September 15, 2031 for the 2031 Notes, and July 15, 2036 for the 2036 Notes. Remaining net proceeds beyond the term loan repayment were directed toward general corporate purposes, including reducing borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the filing disclosed.
