Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

2015 May Amendment to Credit Agreement

 

On June 2, 2015, First Data Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a 2015 May Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2007, as amended and restated as of September 28, 2007, as further amended as of August 10, 2010, March 24, 2011, March 13, 2012 and August 16, 2012, as modified as of September 27, 2012 and February 13, 2013 and as further amended as of April 10, 2013, April 15, 2013, January 30, 2014 and July 18, 2014, respectively, among the Company, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company terminated and replaced its existing senior secured revolving facility maturing September 24, 2016 and repaid certain amounts outstanding thereunder with a new $1.25 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2020 Revolving Credit Facility”).  The 2020 Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 2, 2020 (subject to earlier springing maturity to the extent certain indebtedness of the Company remains outstanding as of certain dates).  The interest rate applicable to the revolving loans under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility is a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency plus 350 basis points or (b) solely with respect to revolving loans denominated in U.S. dollars, a base rate plus 250 basis points.  The commitment fee payable on the undrawn portion of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility is 50 basis points, though the fee may be reduced based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company also modified certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is included to provide you with information regarding its terms. It does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto.
