Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On October 9, 2012, USA Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and Visa U.S.A. Inc. (the "Network"), entered into a First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the agreement that had been previously entered into between them on October 12, 2011 (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the original one-year term of the Agreement has been extended until October 31, 2013, and will automatically renew for an additional year, or until October 31, 2014, unless either party would provide at least 60-days prior notice of non-renewal.
As previously reported, pursuant to regulations that were promulgated pursuant to the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform And Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the interchange fees for small ticket debit card transactions increased effective October 1, 2011. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Network has agreed to make available to the Company reduced interchange fees for debit card transactions. These reduced interchange fees will allow the Company to continue to accept the Network’s debit card products during the term of the Agreement, as amended, without adversely impacting the Company’s historical gross profit from license and transaction fee revenues. During the term of the Agreement, as amended, the Company does not anticipate accepting any debit cards with interchange fees that are higher than the rates provided under the Agreement.
