Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The following documents were entered into in connection with the Exchange Offers (as defined below). The Amendments (as defined below) contained in the Supplements (as defined below) become operative only upon the consummation of the Exchange Offers. The conditions for consummation of the Exchange Offers, which include, among other things, the valid tender and acceptance of at least 95% of each series of Existing Notes (as defined below), have not yet been satisfied. The Exchange Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 27, 2015, unless extended or earlier terminated. We are continuing to negotiate with holders of the Existing Notes, but there can be no assurance that the conditions for consummation of the Exchange Offers will be satisfied before the expiration of the Exchange Offers. If the Exchange Offers are not consummated, the Existing Debt Agreements (as defined below) will remain in effect in their current forms and the Amendments will be null and void by their terms.

As used herein, the terms “Affinion,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Affinion Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Supplements

On October 19, 2015, (i) Affinion Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Affinion Holdings”), entered into Supplemental Indenture No. 1 (the “Holdings Supplemental Indenture”) between Affinion Holdings and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Existing Trustee”) and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), to the indenture, dated as of December 12, 2013 (the “Existing Holdings Indenture”), between Affinion Holdings, the Existing Trustee and the Collateral Agent, relating to Affinion Holdings’ 13.75%/14.50% Senior Secured PIK/Toggle Notes due 2018 (the “Existing Holdings Notes”), (ii) Affinion Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Affinion Investments”), entered into Supplemental Indenture No. 1 (the “Investments Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Holdings Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”) among Affinion Investments, Affinion Investments II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Affinion Investments II”), as guarantor, and the Existing Trustee, to the indenture, dated as of December 12, 2013 (the “Existing Investments Indenture” and, together with the Existing Holdings Indenture, the “Existing Indentures”), among Affinion Investments, Affinion Investments II and the Existing Trustee, relating to Affinion Investments’ 13.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Existing Investments Notes” and, together with the Existing Holdings Notes, the “Existing Notes”), and (iii) Affinion Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Affinion Group”), entered into Supplement No. 4 (the “AGI Supplement” and, together with the Supplemental Indentures, the “Supplements”) among Affinion Group and the subsidiary guarantors named therein, to the note agreement, dated as of December 12, 2013 (as supplemented to the date hereof, the “Existing Note Agreement” and, together with the Existing Indentures, the “Existing Debt Agreements”), among Affinion Group, the subsidiary guarantors named therein, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Holder Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the New Investments Notes Representative, and the holders party thereto, relating to Affinion Group’s 13.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “AGI Subordinated Notes”).

The Holdings Supplemental Indenture amends the Existing Holdings Indenture by (a) eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions in the Existing Holdings Indenture, and (b) releasing the collateral securing the Existing Holdings Notes, in each case as described below (the “Holdings Amendments”). The Investments Supplemental Indenture amends the Existing Investments Indenture by eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions in the Existing Investments Indenture, as described below (the “Investments Amendments”). The AGI Supplement amends the Existing Note Agreement by (a) eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions in the Existing Note Agreement, and (b) permitting the repurchase and cancellation of the AGI Subordinated Notes by Affinion Group in the same aggregate principal amount as the aggregate principal amount of Existing Investments Notes repurchased or redeemed by Affinion Investments at any time, including pursuant to the Exchange Offers (as defined below), in each case as described below (the “AGI Amendments” and, together with the Holdings Amendments and Investments Amendments, the “Amendments”).

The Existing Holdings Indenture provides that a supplemental indenture of this type may be entered into (a) with respect to eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions, upon receipt of consents from holders representing at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Existing Holdings Notes and (b) with respect to releasing the collateral securing the Existing Holdings Notes, upon receipt of consents from holders representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Holdings Notes, in each case excluding Existing Holdings Notes held by Affinion Holdings or its affiliates. Each of the Existing Investments Indenture and the Existing Note Agreement provides that supplemental agreements of these types may be entered into upon receipt of consents from holders representing a majority in principal amount of the Existing Investments Notes, excluding Existing Investments Notes held by Affinion Investments or its affiliates. Prior to the execution of the Supplements, we solicited and received the required consents to the Amendments in connection with the offers to exchange and consent solicitations for the outstanding Existing Notes (the “Exchange Offers”).
