Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 22, 2026, Universal Health Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Eleventh Amendment and Increased Facility Activation Notice (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2010 (as amended by the First Amendment dated as of March 15, 2011, the Second Amendment dated as of September 21, 2012, the Third Amendment dated as of May 16, 2013, the Fourth Amendment dated as of August 7, 2014, the Fifth Amendment dated as of June 7, 2016, the Sixth Amendment dated as of October 23, 2018, the Seventh Amendment dated as of August 24, 2021, the Eighth Amendment dated as of September 10, 2021, the Ninth Amendment dated as of June 23, 2022, and the Tenth Amendment dated as of September 26, 2024, the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Eleventh Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Eleventh Amendment provides for the amendment of the Existing Credit Facility as of April 22, 2026 (as so amended, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) to add under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (i) a new incremental revolving credit facility of up to $200 million (the “2026 Incremental Revolving Loan”), (ii) a new incremental tranche A term loan facility of up to $300 million (the “2026 Incremental Term Loan”), and (iii) a new incremental delayed draw tranche A term loan facility of up to $400 million (the “2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan”).

The 2026 Incremental Revolving Loan is an incremental revolving facility in the initial amount of $200 million, available on a revolving basis commencing on April 22, 2026, the effective date of the Eleventh Amendment, and ending on September 26, 2029.

The 2026 Incremental Term Loan, in the amount of up to $300 million, will mature on September 26, 2029 (the “Incremental Term Maturity Date”). The 2026 Incremental Term Loan shall be repayable for the first eight quarters in equal quarterly installments (commencing September 30, 2026) in an aggregate amount per quarter equal to 0.625% of the original principal amount of the 2026 Incremental Term Loan and thereafter in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate amount per quarter equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount of the 2026 Incremental Term Loan. The balance of the 2026 Incremental Term Loan will be payable on the Incremental Term Maturity Date.

The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2026 Incremental Revolving Loan, the 2026 Incremental Term Loan and the existing revolving loans (including swingline loans) and the tranche A term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to the Eleventh Amendment, will be based upon the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and initially be 0.25% in the case of ABR Loans and 1.25% in the case of Term Benchmark Loans and RFR Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Eleventh Amendment provides for the removal of the .10% credit spread adjustment from existing and incremental revolving and tranche A term loans.

The 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan, in the amount of up to $400 million, will mature on the Incremental Term Maturity Date. The 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan shall not amortize and any outstanding 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan will be payable on the Incremental Term Maturity Date. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan under the Credit Agreement will be based upon the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, as determined by certain applicable pricing grid agreed between the Company and each 2026 Delayed Draw Term Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the 2026 Delayed Draw Term Loan to fund its previously announced acquisition of Talkspace, Inc.
