DEERE JOHN CAPITAL CORP 8-K filed 2026-09-11

John Deere Capital Corporation (DEERE JOHN CAPITAL CORP, CIK 27673) filed this 8-K on 2026-09-11 to accompany a debt issuance completed the same day. The filing says that on September 11, 2026 the Company issued $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due September 11, 2028, $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.650% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due September 11, 2028, $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.800% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due September 11, 2029, and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.050% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due September 11, 2031. The notes were issued under the Company's automatic shelf registration statement, which the opinion letter says was filed with the Commission on May 14, 2026. The filing itself is mainly a vehicle for legal exhibits. It attaches an opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, acting as special legal counsel, and that firm's consent. The opinion states that the notes, when issued and delivered against payment of the purchase price, will be binding obligations of the Company. It also identifies the governing indenture as dated March 15, 1997, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee, as amended by supplemental indentures dated April 21, 2011, April 17, 2014 and April 7, 2017. The report is signed by Julie M. O. Rosales, Secretary. For analysts and journalists, the filing is a record of the issuer's new senior debt: the size of each tranche, the fixed coupons, and the maturity dates. The excerpt does not include the benchmark or spread for the floating rate notes, the offering price, the underwriters, the intended use of proceeds, or interest payment dates; those are not in the filing excerpt. The company's EDGAR profile lists it as a Delaware corporation with SIC code 6153 (Short-Term Business Credit Institutions), a Non-accelerated filer, with a fiscal year end of 1101 and a business address of P. O. BOX 5328, MADISON, WI, 53705-0328.
