On July 18, 2013, the American Express Issuance Trust II (the “Trust”) issued its (i) Class A Series 2013-A Variable Funding Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes in a maximum principal amount of $3,000,000,000 (the “Class A Notes”), (ii) Class B Series 2013-A Variable Funding Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes in a maximum principal amount of $133,334,000 (the “Class B Notes”) and (iii) Class C Series 2013-A Variable Funding Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes in a maximum principal amount of $200,000,000 (the “Class C Notes” and, together with the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, the “Notes”). The Class A Notes are held by certain parties who have agreed to fund, from time to time at the request of the Registrant, the unfunded amounts under the Class A Notes up to the maximum principal amount. The purchasers’ commitments to fund any unfunded amounts under the Class A Notes are subject to the terms and conditions of the Class A Notes, the Series 2013-A Indenture Supplement and a purchase agreement among the Registrant, the purchasers and certain other parties.
On July 15, 2015, the Trust amended its Series 2013-A Indenture Supplement with its Second Amendment to Series 2013-A Indenture Supplement, dated as of July 15, 2015 (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the period during which the holders are required to fund the Class A Notes has been extended to July 15, 2018 (as may be further extended).
The Registrant uses the Class A Notes as a source of funding in the ordinary course.
