On April 10, 2017, CNH Industrial N.V. announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, CNH Industrial Capital LLC (“CNH Industrial Capital”), completed its previously announced offering of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.375% notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) issued at par, pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated April 5, 2017, among CNH Industrial Capital, the Guarantors (as defined below) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriting Agreement”).

 

The Notes and the related guarantees were offered and sold under a registration statement on Form F-3ASR (Registration Nos. 333-206891-01, 333-206891-02, 333-206891-03), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 11, 2015 (the “Registration Statement”). CNH Industrial Capital and the Guarantors have also filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, dated April 5, 2017, together with the accompanying prospectus, dated September 11, 2015, in connection with the offering of the Notes and the related guarantees.

 

The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 11, 2015 (the “Indenture”), among CNH Industrial Capital, CNH Industrial Capital America LLC and New Holland Credit Company, LLC (together with CNH Industrial Capital America LLC, the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and an Officers’ Certificate of the Company, dated as of April 10, 2017, pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Indenture (the “Officers’ Certificate”).

 

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.375% per annum and mature on April 5, 2022. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on April 5 and October 5 of each year, commencing on October 5, 2017, to the holders of record of such Notes at the close of business on March 21 or September 20, respectively, preceding such interest payment date. The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, (i) CNH Industrial Capital’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur secured debt or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and (ii) CNH Industrial Capital’s ability and the ability of the Guarantors to consolidate, merge, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and limitations.

 

The Notes will be redeemable, at the option of CNH Industrial Capital, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium specified under the Officers’ Certificate.

 

The description set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Officers’ Certificate and the form of the Notes. Copies of the Underwriting Agreement, the Officers’ Certificate and the form of the Notes are attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference, and the Indenture (which contains the form of the guarantees) was filed as an Exhibit 4.9 to the Registration Statement.
