Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
See Item 2.03 below.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On April 24, 2020, General Motors Company (“GM”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its Third Amended and Restated 3-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, dated April 18, 2018, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Citibank, N.A., as syndication agent, and the lenders named therein, which consists of a three-year, $4.0 billion revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Three-Year Facility”). GM previously entered into its Third Amended and Restated 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement and its 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, each with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Citibank, N.A., as syndication agent, and the lenders named therein (collectively with the Three-Year Facility, the “Facilities”).
Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, the termination date for a $3.6 billion portion of the Three-Year Facility was extended by one year, now set to mature on April 18, 2022, (the termination date of April 18, 2021 for the remaining portion of the Three-Year Facility remains unchanged), and GM is restricted from (i) engaging in share repurchases so long as any borrowings are outstanding under the Facilities and (ii) paying dividends on its common stock so long as borrowings under the Facilities exceed $5.0 billion, in each case, subject to exceptions and limitations. The other material terms and conditions set forth in the Three-Year Facility remain unchanged. For a description of the Three-Year Facility, see GM’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2018.
The foregoing description does not constitute a complete summary of the Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment filed herewith.
