Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In connection with the previously announced notice of redemption by Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (the "Company") of its 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2036 (the "Convertible Notes"), on July 25, 2014, the Company entered into unwind agreements with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association ("JP Morgan") and Bank of America, N.A. ("BofA"), which terminate in full the convertible note hedges and warrant agreements entered into in June 2006, as amended, with JP Morgan and BofA relating to the Convertible Notes.
The unwind agreements provide that each of JP Morgan and BofA will deliver to the Company a number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock over a specified measurement period. Based on the current trading price of the Company’s common stock, the Company would receive in the aggregate shares valued at approximately $30.0 million upon settlement of the unwind agreements, although the actual value and number of such shares will vary depending on the trading price of the common stock over the measurement period.
Copies of the JP Morgan unwind agreement and the BofA unwind agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The description contained herein of the unwind agreements is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the unwind agreements.
