Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 29, 2014, The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (“NASDAQ OMX”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated June 7, 2013, between the Company and the Trustee. The Supplemental Indenture relates to NASDAQ OMX’s 4.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “4.25% Senior Notes”). On May 29, 2014, NASDAQ OMX issued and sold $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 4.25% Senior Notes in a public offering pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 ASR (No. 333-186155) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2013. The Supplemental Indenture includes the form of the 4.25% Senior Notes.
The 4.25% Senior Notes will pay interest semiannually at a rate of 4.25% per annum until June 1, 2024. NASDAQ OMX expects to use the net proceeds from the offering of the 4.25% Senior Notes, along with cash on hand, to refinance its 4.00% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “4.00% Senior Notes”) and to repay a portion of the term loan under its senior credit facility. NASDAQ OMX sent a redemption notice to the Trustee for the 4.00% Senior Notes on May 19, 2014.
The Supplemental Indenture is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1. The description of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified by reference thereto.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 29, 2014, NASDAQ OMX issued a press release announcing the closing of its $500 million public offering of 4.25% Senior Notes. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
