In its debt refinancing, Ford has removed the mechanism that adjusted margins and fees based on achieving sustainability-linked targets. This change in governance could signal a shift in ESG strategy or reporting priorities, creating an opening for discussions around ESG consulting, reporting platforms, and alternative incentive structures.
Filing excerpt
As a result of the Twenty-Third Amendment, Supplemental Eighth Amendment, and 364-Day Fifth Amendment, the applicable margin and facility fees under the Amended Credit Agreement, Amended Supplemental Revolving Credit Agreement, and Amended 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement will no longer be adjusted based on whether Ford achieves, or fails to achieve, certain sustainability-linked targets.
