Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On August 13, 2024, Ingersoll Rand Inc. (the “Company”) established a commercial paper program (the “Program”), pursuant to which it may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes (the “Notes”) under the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Amounts available under the Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time, with the aggregate face or principal amount of the Notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $2,600,000,000. The Notes will have maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The Notes will rank at least pari passu with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. No Notes are currently outstanding under the Program. The Company intends the Program to provide additional financing flexibility for various purposes including acquisitions and remains committed to its investment grade credit rating.

One or more commercial paper dealers will each act as a dealer under the Program (each, a “Dealer”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the respective commercial paper dealer agreement entered into between the Company and each Dealer.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated by specific reference in any such filing.
