Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 3, 2011, American Express Credit Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an unsecured A$4,500,000,000 syndicated credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Citisecurities Limited, as facility agent, Citibank N.A., Sydney Branch, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, National Australia Bank Limited, and Westpac Banking Corporation, as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. The Credit Facility was amended in 2013 and again in 2014 to provide for a final termination date of August 3, 2017.
On September 25, 2015 the Company repaid all outstanding loans under the Credit Facility and terminated the Credit Facility on that date in accordance with the Company’s right to terminate it prior to the termination date. The Company did not incur any early termination fees.
A copy of the Credit Facility was previously filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, a copy of Amendment No. 1 was previously filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 19, 2013 and a copy of Amendment No. 2 was previously filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 29, 2014.
Certain of the lenders under the Credit Facility, or their affiliates, have, and in the future may engage in business transactions with the Company or its affiliates and have provided, and may in the future from time to time provide, certain commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, and other services in the ordinary course of business for the Company and its subsidiaries, for which they have in the past and may in the future receive customary fees and commissions.
