ITEM 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 18, 2019, Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (the "Company") entered into (i) an Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"), providing for a $1.25 billion five-year senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility maturing on January 18, 2024, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent,
letter of credit issuer and swingline lender, and the other lending institutions from time to time party thereto, which amends and restates the Company's existing revolving credit agreement dated September 22, 2015 (the "Existing
Revolving Credit Agreement") and (ii) a Third Amended and Restated Term Credit Agreement (the "Term Credit Agreement" and, together with the Revolving Credit Agreement, the "Credit Agreements"), providing for a
$450 million four-year senior unsecured term loan credit facility maturing on January 18, 2023, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lending institutions from time to time party thereto, which amends and
restates the Company's existing term credit agreement dated October 15, 2018. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may increase the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement by up to $500 million and borrow up to an
additional $75 million under the Term Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement borrowed on the closing date were used to refinance indebtedness under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, and future
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including investments in new and existing Affiliates, repayments of senior debt, repurchases of the Company's common stock,
and the payment of cash dividends on the Company's common stock.
Certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreements and their
affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, underwriting, trust or other advisory or commercial services to the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates.
The Credit Agreements contain financial covenants with respect to leverage and interest coverage, as well as customary affirmative and
negative covenants, including limitations on priority indebtedness, asset dispositions and fundamental corporate changes, and certain customary events of default which could result in an acceleration of amounts due. Many of these conditions and
restrictions are subject, however, to certain minimum thresholds and exceptions.
This description is a summary and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreements, which are attached to this Current Report on
Form 8-K
as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, and are incorporated by reference as though fully
