Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 17, 2006, AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. ("AmeriCredit"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AmeriCredit Corp., entered into an amendment with Barclays Bank PLC concerning its $500 million Repurchase Trust warehouse credit facility. The Repurchase Trust warehouse credit facility is a revolving warehouse line of credit under which AmeriCredit may finance automobile retail installment sales contract receivables that meet certain eligibility requirements and under which AmeriCredit services the receivables. Under this facility, AmeriCredit sells eligible receivables to a special purpose subsidiary, which in turn pledges the receivables as collateral for its borrowings under the facility. The amendment extended the commitment termination date from August 17, 2006 through August 16, 2007. The amendment also increased the facility limit from $500 million to $600 million for the period of August 17, 2006 through February 17, 2007, and for the period from February 18, 2007 through the commitment termin ation date, the facility limit will revert to $500 million. A copy of the amendment is filed herewith as an exhibit to this Form 8-K. Affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC have also performed investment banking and advisory services for AmeriCredit from time to time to which they have received customary fees and expenses.
