Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported, on June 2, 2014, PHH Corporation (“PHH,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Element Financial Corporation, an Ontario corporation (“Buyer”), agreed to cause certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Buyer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in each of PHH Vehicle Management Services Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PHHVMS”), PHH Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Fleet Sub 1”), PHH Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Fleet Sub 2” and, together with PHHVMS and Fleet Sub 1, the “U.S. Transferred Entities”) and PHH Vehicle Management Services Inc., a Canadian corporation (the “Canadian Transferred Entity” and, together with the U.S. Transferred Entities, collectively, the “Fleet Entities”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1.4 billion, subject to adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Purchase Agreement Amendment (as defined below).  The Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 3, 2014.

 

On July 7, 2014, the Company and Buyer entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment”) to the Purchase Agreement.  The Purchase Agreement Amendment provides that, among other things, (i) the Company and Buyer will complete the closing (the “Closing”) of the sale of the Fleet Entities contemplated by the Purchase Agreement on July 7, 2014, (ii) the purchase price payable by Buyer thereunder is adjusted based on the net assets of the Fleet Entities as of 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2014, plus an additional amount, and (iii) the Company will indemnify Buyer and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, successors, permitted assigns, agents and representatives against any damages incurred as a result of certain matters related to PHH (Bermuda) Holdings Ltd.

 

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 7, 2014, in order to facilitate the Closing, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries voluntarily terminated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 2, 2012 and amended and restated as of May 30, 2014 (the “U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, the lenders referred to therein, Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as syndication agents, Barclays Bank PLC, as documentation agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (which agreement provided the Company with a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million), together with the guaranty, provided by certain subsidiaries of the Company, of the Company’s obligations thereunder.  The Company and its subsidiaries were not required to pay any early termination penalties in connection with such voluntary termination.

 

Certain of the lenders under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates have relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, investment banking and trust services.  In addition, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into derivative arrangements with certain of the lenders under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates.

 

Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On July 7, 2014, the Company completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in each of the Fleet Entities to certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Buyer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as amended by Purchase Agreement Amendment.  The Company sold all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Fleet Entities to Buyer for an aggregate purchase price of $1.4 billion, subject to adjustment as described below.  As of March 31, 2014, the unaudited pro forma financial statements for the Company would have reflected an estimated gain of $243 million for the disposition of the Fleet Entities based on the net assets of the Fleet Entities as of that date.  Both the aggregate purchase price and estimated gain on sale may be increased or decreased based upon certain post-Closing adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Purchase Agreement Amendment.
