| ITEM 1.01 | ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT |
Amendment to NFC Credit Agreement
On September 18, 2017, Navistar Financial Corporation (“NFC”) entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2016, by and among NFC and Navistar Financial, S.A. de C.V., Sociedad Financiera De Objeto Multiple, Entidad Regulada, a Mexican corporation, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, pursuant to which (i) the interest rates and commitment fee percentages applicable to revolving loans with respect to extended revolving commitments were reduced, (ii) the revolving maturity date was extended to September 18, 2021, (iii) the swingline facility was increased to $50 million, (iv) the definition of “Change in Control” was revised to include Volkswagen AG and its affiliates as permitted holders, (v) the definition of “Permitted Investments” was revised, (vi) a dividend and investment basket of up to $150,000,000, depending upon the amount of acceptable additional indebtedness incurred by the borrowers or NFC’s subsidiaries, was added and (vii) provisions to address the planned elimination of LIBOR were added.
The Amendment reduces the interest rates applicable to revolving loans with respect to extended revolving commitments by approximately 0.75% to 1.25% and the commitment fee percentages applicable to revolving loans with respect to extended revolving commitments by approximately 0.125% to 0.375%, in each case, depending upon the ratings of Navistar International Corporation and NFC. Under the terms of the Amendment (i) the interest rate on revolving loans with respect to extended revolving commitments is based, at the borrower’s option, on an adjusted eurodollar rate, plus a margin of 2.25% to 4.00%, or a base rate, plus a margin of 1.25% to 3.00%, and (ii) the commitment fee percentage applicable to revolving loans with respect to extended revolving commitments is 0.375% to 0.625%. In connection with the Amendment, NFC paid certain fees, the total of which NFC does not believe is material to its financial position or results of operations.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
