**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

*ABL Amendment*

On February 19, 2026, Novelis Inc. (the "Company" or "we") entered into an amendment (the "ABL Amendment") to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as previously amended and as amended by the ABL Amendment, the "ABL Facility"), dated as of October 6, 2014, among the Company and subsidiary borrowers party thereto, the guarantors party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders and issuing banks party thereto. The ABL Amendment modifies the ABL Facility by increasing the maximum revolving amount by $500.0 million to $2,500.0 million. All other material terms of the ABL Facility remain unchanged.

The foregoing description of the ABL Amendment is a general description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ABL Amendment, which the Company plans to file as an exhibit to its annual report on Form 10-K.

*Subscription Agreement*

On February 18, 2026, we entered into a subscription agreement with AV Minerals (Netherlands) N.V. ("AV Minerals"), the Company's sole shareholder and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hindalco Industries Limited, pursuant to which AV Minerals agreed to purchase 1,333,333 of the Company's common shares, no par value per share, for $199,999,950 at a price of $150 per share. The closing of the investment occurred concurrently with the execution of the subscription agreement.

The common shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and were instead sold pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4 (a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy common shares of the Company, or any other securities of the Company.
