Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 22, 2018, Park National Corporation (the “Registrant”) entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, made and entered into as of June 22, 2018 (the “Third Amendment”), with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”). The Third Amendment extends the maturity date under the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2016 (as previously amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement entered into as of June 15, 2017 and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement entered into as of May 17, 2018 and amended by the Third Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) to June 22, 2019.
Under the Credit Agreement (as in effect prior to the Third Amendment), U.S. Bank had made available to the Registrant a revolving credit facility in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000. The Third Amendment increased the availability under the revolving credit facility from the maximum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 to the maximum aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000.
In addition, the Third Amendment eliminated the resting period requirement under the Credit Agreement that had previously required there to be no principal amount outstanding for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days during each calendar year.
In connection with the Third Amendment, the Registrant executed a Note payable to U.S. Bank in the original principal amount of up to $50,000,000, dated June 22, 2018 (the “2018 Note”), which amended and restated in its entirety the Note dated May 18, 2016, made by the Registrant payable to U.S. Bank in the original principal amount of up to $10,000,000.
Other than the extension of the maturity date, the increase in the amount available under the revolving credit facility and the elimination of the resting period under the Credit Agreement, each in accordance with the terms of the Third Amendment, the terms of the Credit Agreement remain the same as those described in “Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 23, 2016 and in “Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant with the SEC on May 21, 2018.
As of June 22, 2018, there were no loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Subsequently, on June 27, 2018, the Registrant borrowed $10,000,000 under the Credit Agreement, which funds are to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The above description of the Third Amendment and the 2018 Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Third Amendment and the 2018 Note, copies of which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
