The Consent Solicitation was made in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a Consent Solicitation Statement, dated August 7, 2018. The Consent Solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2018 (the "Expiration Date").

The Consent Solicitation related to the direction and consent (each a "Consent") of holders of the Subject Notes with respect to (i) the proposed removal from World Financial Network Credit Card Master Trust (the "Receivables Trust") of private label credit card accounts relating to The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. credit card program and the reassignment to WFN Credit of all receivables relating to such accounts and (ii) the adoption of a proposed amendment to the pooling and servicing agreement governing the Receivables Trust (the "Proposed Amendment") to permit the Proposed Account Removal.

The Proposed Amendment is expected to become effective on August 16, 2018.  If the Proposed Amendment becomes effective and certain other conditions described in the Consent Solicitation Statement are satisfied, holders of Subject Notes who validly delivered (and did not validly revoke) Consents will receive a consent fee equal to $0.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of Subject Notes for which Consents were validly delivered (and not validly revoked) prior to the Expiration Date.  WFN Credit expects that payment of the consent fee will be made to The Depository Trust Company for distribution to consenting holders no later than August 16, 2018.
 



RBC Capital Markets, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC served as the solicitation agents for the Consent Solicitation, and D.F. King Co., Inc. served as the information agent and the tabulation agent for the Consent Solicitation.
