Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On July 20, 2018, First Data Corporation (FDC) and First Data Receivables, LLC (FD Receivables) amended the Receivables Financing Agreement (as amended by the RFA Amendment (defined below), the RFA) with PNC Bank, National Association (PNC) and other Lenders and Group Agents (Lenders). In addition, FDC, FD Receivables and certain of FDCs subsidiaries amended the Transfer and Contribution Agreement (as amended by the TCA Amendment (defined below), the TCA). Together the RFA and TCA establish the primary terms and conditions of an Accounts Receivable Securitization Program (Securitization).
Pursuant to the Securitization, the Originators transfer and contribute current and future trade receivables to FD Receivables and FD Receivables, in turn, borrows up to $600,000,000 from PNC, secured by liens on the receivables. FDC, as servicer, is independently liable for its own customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. In addition, FDC has guaranteed the performance of the obligations of the Originators, and will guarantee the obligations of any additional originators or successor servicer that may become party to the Securitization.
Under the amended terms, loans under the Securitization will accrue interest at a rate that is 1.15% higher than either LIBOR or a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the applicable lenders reference or prime rate, or (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. Unused commitments under the Securitization will accrue an unused fee at a rate that is (i) 0.90% when utilization under the Securitization is less than 35%, (ii) 0.75% when utilization under the Securitization is less than 50% and greater than or equal to 35% (iii) 0.60% when utilization under the Securitization is less than 65% and greater than or equal to 50% and (iv) 0.45% when utilization under the Securitization is greater than or equal to 65%. FD Receivables may prepay loans upon one business day prior notice and may terminate the Securitization with 15 days prior notice. In addition, the scheduled termination of the Securitization was amended from June 30, 2020 to July 31, 2021.
FDC paid certain structuring fees to PNC Capital Markets LLC and FD Receivables will pay other customary fees to the Lenders.
The Securitization contains various customary representations and warranties and covenants, and default provisions which provide for the termination and acceleration of the commitments and loans under the Securitization in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, breach of representation, warranty or covenant, certain insolvency events or failure to maintain the security interest in the trade receivables, and defaults under other material indebtedness.
The amendment to the RFA (RFA Amendment) is by and among (i) FD Receivables, a Delaware special purpose entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of FDC, as borrower, (ii) FDC, as initial servicer, (iii) PNC, as administrative agent and lender, and (iv) the persons from time to time party thereto as Lenders.
The amendment to the FD Receivables TCA (TCA Amendment) is by and among, (i) First Data Resources, LLC, CardConnect, LLC, Concord Computing Corporation, First Data Government Solutions, Inc., First Data Government Solutions, LP, Star Networks, Inc., First Data Processing, Inc., First Data Hardware Services Inc., TeleCheck Services, Inc., Star Systems Assets, Inc., First Data Merchant Services, LLC, Ignite Payments, LLC, FDS Holdings, Inc., New Payment Services, Inc., CTS Holdings, LLC, Concord Payment Services, Inc., Gift Solutions LLC each as an originator of receivables (collectively, the Originators), with (ii) FDC, the ultimate parent of each Originator and an initial servicer of the receivables for the Originators, and (iii) FD Receivables.
The foregoing description of the Securitization is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the RFA Amendment and TCA Amendment, copies of which are respectively attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

(g) The following new Section 5.06 is hereby added to the Receivables Financing Agreement:
SECTION 5.06 Successor LMIR .
(a) If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (i) (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.04 have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.04 have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of the interest rate used to calculate LMIR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the interest rate used to calculate LMIR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a LMIR Termination Date ), or (ii) a rate other than the interest rate used to calculate LMIR has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then the Administrative Agent may (in consultation with the Borrower) choose a replacement index for LMIR and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in Interest based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in Interest based on LMIR in effect prior to its replacement.
(b) In connection with an LMIR Termination Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, Section 14.01 ), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Group Agents, unless the Administrative Agent receives, on or before the end of such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Majority Group Agents stating that such Majority Group Agents object to such amendment.
(c) Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans
4
in the United States and loans converted from a rate based on the interest rate used to calculate LMIR to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (A) the effects of the transition from the interest rate used to calculate LMIR to the replacement index and (B) yield- or risk-based differences between the interest rate used to calculate LMIR and the replacement index.
(d) Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 5.06 is effective, each Portion of Capital accruing Interest with reference to LMIR will continue to bear interest with reference to LMIR; provided however , that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LMIR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LMIR Termination Date, each Portion of Capital that would otherwise accrue Interest with reference to LMIR shall automatically begin accruing Interest with reference to the Base Rate until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.
(h) The second sentence of clause (h) of Section 8.01 is restated in its entirety as follows:
The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, and shall cause each Originator to remit all Collections received in an Approved Settlement Account to a Lock-Box Account no later than the applicable Sweep Date.
(i) The second sentence of clause (f) of Section 8.02 is restated in its entirety as follows:
The Servicer shall, and shall cause each Originator to, remit all Collections received in an Approved Settlement Account to a Lock-Box Account no later than the applicable Sweep Date.

(c) No Event of Default . No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would occur as a result of this Amendment or the transactions contemplated hereby.
