Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On July 24, 2015, Computer Sciences Corporation (the "Company") and two of its subsidiaries, CSC Capital Funding Limited, a special-purpose corporation organized under the laws of Ireland (the "Issuer"), and CSC Computer Sciences International S.a. r.l., a corporation organized under the laws of Luxembourg (“CSC International”), established a European commercial paper program (the "ECP Program") under which the Issuer may issue commercial paper notes (the "Notes") up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of €500,000,000 or its equivalent in alternative currencies. In connection with establishing the Program, the Company entered into a Dealer Agreement dated as of July 24, 2015 (the "Dealer Agreement") by and among CSC Capital Funding Limited, as Issuer, the Company and CSC International, as Guarantors, Citibank International Limited, as Arranger, and the financial institutions listed therein as Dealers.
The maturities of the Notes may vary but may not be less than one day nor exceed 364 days from the date of issue. The Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed by CSC International and the Company, and will rank at least pari passu with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes may be issued at a discount or may bear fixed or floating rate interest or a coupon calculated by reference to an index or formula. Standard & Poor’s assigned a short-term A-2 rating for the ECP Program. The Company's Amended and Restated Multi-Currency Credit Facility, effective October 11, 2013, by and among the Company, various subsidiaries of the Company including CSC International, the financial institutions listed therein as Lenders and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Facility”), will be available, subject to certain conditions, to repay the Notes, if necessary.
The Dealers under the ECP Program will act in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Dealer Agreement. Citibank, N.A., London Branch will act as Issuing and Paying Agent under the ECP Program.
The Dealer Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions.
The Dealer Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1. The description above is a summary of the ECP Program and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the ECP Program itself as set forth in the form of Dealer Agreement.
