Morgan Securities LLC, Santander US Capital Markets LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, 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 S-3ASR (Registration Nos. 333-263539, 333-263539-01, 333-263539-02), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”). CNH Industrial Capital and the Guarantors have also filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, dated September 11, 2023, together with the accompanying prospectus, dated March 14, 2022, in connection with the offering of the Notes and the related guarantees.
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated July 2, 2020 (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 Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), and an Officers’ Certificate of the Company, dated September 13, 2023, pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Indenture (the “Officers’ Certificate”).
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.500% per annum and mature on January 12, 2029. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on January 12 and July 12 of each year, commencing on January 12, 2024, to the holders of record of such Notes at the close of business on December 29 or June 28, respectively, preceding such interest payment date. The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things: (i) the ability of CNH Industrial Capital and its restricted subsidiaries to incur secured debt or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and (ii) the ability of CNH Industrial Capital and 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 or in part at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) the make-whole amount set forth in the Officers’ Certificate and (ii) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.
