Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Issuance of Series 2012-1 Notes

On February 22, 2012, GE Dealer Floorplan Master Note Trust (the “Trust”) issued $750,000,000 of Series 2012-1 Class A Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A Notes”), $15,789,500 of Series 2012-1 Class B Asset Backed Notes (the “Class B Notes”) and $23,684,000 of Series 2012-1 Class C Asset Backed Notes (the “Class C Notes”), described in a Prospectus Supplement dated February 14, 2012 to a Prospectus dated February 13, 2012.

Use of Proceeds — Series 2012-1

The public offering of the Class A Notes was made under the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-158937) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2009 (as amended by pre-effective amendment no. 1 on September 2, 2009 and pre-effective amendment no. 2 on April 1, 2010) and declared effective on May 21, 2010.

The public offering of the Class A Notes terminated on February 14, 2012 upon the sale of all of the Class A Notes. An affiliate of the depositor purchased all of the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes. No underwriting discount was paid to the underwriters with respect to the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes purchased by such affiliate. The underwriters of the Class A Notes were Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, SG Americas Securities, LLC and Mischler Financial Group, Inc..

During the period from the effective date of the Registration Statement through the current reporting period, the amount of expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of the Class A Notes with respect to underwriting commissions and discounts was $1,950,000 for the Class A Notes. After deducting the underwriting commissions and discounts described in the preceding sentence, the net offering proceeds to the Issuer before expenses for the Class A Notes are $748,050,000. Other expenses, including legal fees and other costs and expenses, are reasonably estimated to be $750,000 and net proceeds to the Issuer for the Class A Notes, after deduction of expenses, are reasonably estimated to be $747,300,000. With respect to the payment of these other expenses and costs, all direct or indirect payments were made to persons other than persons who are (a) directors or officers of the Issuer, or (b) owners of 10 percent or more of any class of securities of the Issuer.

The net proceeds to CDF Funding, Inc., after deducting the underwriting commissions and discounts, and expenses above, were used to purchase dealer floorplan receivables from GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation, General Electric Capital Corporation, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC and Polaris Acceptance, each an affiliate of CDF Funding, Inc. In addition, CDF Funding, Inc. may also use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the payment of those proceeds to its shareholder, which is General Electric Capital Corporation. General Electric Capital Corporation may use the proceeds it receives to repay intercompany debt and for other general corporate purposes. Except as provided in the previous sentence, none of the proceeds were used for payments to (a) any directors or officers of the Issuer or (b) owners of 10 percent or more of any class of securities of the Issuer.
