On July 20, 2026, Universal Health Services, Inc.

The Twelfth Amendment provides for the amendment of the Existing Credit Facility as of July 20, 2026 (as so amended, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) to add under the Senior Secured Credit Facility a new incremental delayed draw tranche A term loan facility of up to $700 million (the “July 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan”).

The July 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $700 million, is available to be drawn down by the Company during the period from July 20, 2026 through September 30, 2026, and will mature on the date that is 364 days after the date of funding of the July 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan (the “Maturity Date”). The July 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan shall not amortize, and any outstanding amounts thereunder shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Company is required to prepay the July 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan prior to the Maturity Date upon the incurrence of certain indebtedness for borrowed money or the issuance of capital stock by the Company or its subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement. If the Company draws upon the July 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan, it intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of existing indebtedness and the payment of fees and expenses in connection therewith.

The applicable margin for borrowings under the July 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan under the Credit Agreement, will be based upon the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and initially be 0.125% in the case of ABR Loans and 1.125% in the case of Term Benchmark Loans and RFR Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement).
