Item 1.01.                Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement

 

First Supplemental Indenture with respect to 5.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2024

 

On March 29, 2016, First Data Corporation (the “Company”) issued and sold $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of additional 5.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “additional notes”), which mature on January 15, 2024, pursuant to the indenture governing the 5.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 that were issued on November 25, 2015 (the “Existing 5.000% Notes”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 29, 2016 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), the “Indenture”).  The additional notes are expected to be treated as a single series with the Existing 5.000% Notes and will have the same terms as those of the Existing 5.000% Notes. The additional notes and the Existing 5.000% Notes will vote as one class under the Indenture. The Company used the net proceeds from the issue and sale of the additional notes to repay a portion of its senior secured term loan facility due 2018 and to pay related fees and expenses.

 

The foregoing description of the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
