(the &#8220;Company&#8221;) entered into an amendment and restatement (the &#8220;Amendment&#8221;) of the Company&#8217;s credit agreement originally dated as of July 18, 2008 (as amended and restated as of October 25, 2017, as amended prior to November 1, 2019, and as amended and restated pursuant to the Amendment, the &#8220;Credit Agreement&#8221;), by and among the Company, the initial lenders named therein, Citibank, N.A. (&#8220;Citibank&#8221;), as administrative agent; Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (&#8220;JPMorgan&#8221;), as co-syndication agents; Morgan Stanley MUFG Loan Partners, LLC, acting through Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (&#8220;Morgan Stanley&#8221;) and MUFG Bank, Ltd. (&#8220;MUFG&#8221;), as documentation agent; and Citibank, JPMorgan, BofA Securities, Inc. and Morgan Stanley MUFG Loan Partners, LLC, acting through Morgan Stanley and MUFG, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers. Under the Amendment, among other things, the maturity date of the Credit Agreement was extended to November 1, 2024. The revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement remain unchanged at $1.5 billion, and the Company continues to have the ability to increase the commitments under the Credit Agreement from time to time by an additional amount of up to $250 million, provided the Company receives commitments for such increases and satisfies certain other conditions. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Pursuant to the Amendment, the cost structure has changed. Based on the Company&#8217;s current credit ratings, the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate borrowings (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is 1.125%, and the facility fee payable on a lender&#8217;s revolving commitment is 0.125%.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">The Amendment removed the interest coverage ratio financial covenant; however, the Company remains subject to the leverage ratio financial covenant, among other customary covenants. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter a leverage ratio of not more than (i) 3.75 to 1.00 on the last day of each fiscal quarter ending on or prior to September 30, 2020 and (ii) 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter. At the election of the Company, the leverage ratio financial covenant may be changed to not more than 4.00 to 1.00 for four consecutive fiscal quarters, beginning with the fiscal quarter in which there is an occurrence of one or more acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of at least $200 million.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Pursuant to the Amendment, the event of default triggers for cross defaults, judgment defaults and change of control are largely the same, except that the threshold for each of the cross default and judgment default triggers was increased from $100 million to $125 million, and the threshold for the change of control trigger was increased from 30% to 40%. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 2.03. </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">The disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 above related to the Credit Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 9.01.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 1, 2019, The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an amendment and restatement (the "Amendment") of the Company's credit agreement originally dated as of July 18, 2008 (as amended and restated as of October 25, 2017, as amended prior to November 1, 2019, and as amended and restated pursuant to the Amendment, the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, the initial lenders named therein, Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), as administrative agent; Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan"), as co-syndication agents; Morgan Stanley MUFG Loan Partners, LLC, acting through Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. ("Morgan Stanley") and MUFG Bank, Ltd. ("MUFG"), as documentation agent; and Citibank, JPMorgan, BofA Securities, Inc. and Morgan Stanley MUFG Loan Partners, LLC, acting through Morgan Stanley and MUFG, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers. Under the Amendment, among other things, the maturity date of the Credit Agreement was extended to November 1, 2024. The revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement remain unchanged at $1.5 billion, and the Company continues to have the ability to increase the commitments under the Credit Agreement from time to time by an additional amount of up to $250 million, provided the Company receives commitments for such increases and satisfies certain other conditions.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the cost structure has changed. Based on the Company's current credit ratings, the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate borrowings (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is 1.125%, and the facility fee payable on a lender's revolving commitment is 0.125%.
The Amendment removed the interest coverage ratio financial covenant; however, the Company remains subject to the leverage ratio financial covenant, among other customary covenants. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter a leverage ratio of not more than (i) 3.75 to 1.00 on the last day of each fiscal quarter ending on or prior to September 30, 2020 and (ii) 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter. At the election of the Company, the leverage ratio financial covenant may be changed to not more than 4.00 to 1.00 for four consecutive fiscal quarters, beginning with the fiscal quarter in which there is an occurrence of one or more acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of at least $200 million.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the event of default triggers for cross defaults, judgment defaults and change of control are largely the same, except that the threshold for each of the cross default and judgment default triggers was increased from $100 million to $125 million, and the threshold for the change of control trigger was increased from 30% to 40%.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03.
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
