Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On October 1, 2018, concurrently with the consummation of the previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by SS&C Technologies, Inc. (“Technologies”), a subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), of Eze Software, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Commitment Increase Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the existing amended and restated credit agreement, dated April 16, 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Technologies, SS&C European Holdings S.a R.L, SS&C Technologies Holdings Europe S.a R.L., certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, acting as administrative agent, and certain lenders and letter of credit issuers party thereto.

Pursuant to the Amendment, a new $875 million senior secured incremental term loan B facility (the “Incremental Term Loan Facility”) was made available to Technologies for purposes of financing a portion of the consideration for the Acquisition. The Incremental Term Loan Facility matures on April 16, 2025 and bears interest at the rate applicable to the incremental term loan B facilities currently outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Except as described above, the terms, covenants and events of default applicable to the Incremental Term Loans are materially consistent with the terms, covenants and events of default applicable to loans incurred under the Credit Agreement and which are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2018.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
