Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 11, 2026, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta,” “we,”
“us” or “our”) entered into a credit agreement among Delta, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent,
and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility refinances Delta’s existing credit agreement,
dated as of November 6, 2023 (as amended from time to time, the “Existing Credit Facility”), and replaces the Existing Credit
Facility in its entirety. The proceeds of the borrowings under the Credit Facility will be used in part to refinance the Existing Credit
Facility and for general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility was undrawn at the time we entered into it.
The Credit Facility contains a $2.650 billion revolving facility
comprised of a $1.325 billion three-year tranche, a $1.325 billion five-year tranche and a separate standby letter of credit facility,
which remains uncommitted. Up to $250 million of each of the three-year and the five-year tranches can also be used for the issuance of
letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitments can be increased up to $3.65
billion upon our request and subject to certain conditions.
Borrowings under the three-year and five-year tranches bear interest
at a variable rate equal to an adjusted term SOFR, or another index rate, in each case plus a specified margin. Undrawn letters of credit
under the Credit Facility will accrue a fee at a rate per annum set forth in the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants.
These covenants include, among other things, (i) restrictions on our ability to place liens on, or to sell or otherwise dispose of, a
designated pool of assets, and (ii) the requirement for us to maintain the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Minimum Asset Coverage
Ratio set forth below.
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio(1)
1.25:1
Minimum Asset Coverage Ratio(2)
1.25:1
(1)
Defined as the ratio of (a) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and aircraft rent and other adjustments to net income to (b) the sum of gross cash interest expense (including the interest portion of our finance lease obligations) and cash aircraft rental expense (other than finance lease obligations), for the four fiscal quarters then most recently ended.
(2)
Defined as the ratio of (a) the value of the designated pool of unencumbered assets of Delta and its subsidiaries to (b) the sum of the aggregate outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility (other than cash collateralized letter of credit obligations).
The Credit Facility contains events of default customary for similar
financings, including a cross-default to other material indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations
under the Credit Facility may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
of a Registrant.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report
on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference, insofar as it relates to the creation of a direct financial obligation.
