Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 31, 2024 (the "Effective Date"), Salesforce, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders and issuing lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement replaces the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2020 (as amended, the "Existing Credit Agreement"), among the Company, the lenders and letter of credit issuers party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, which provided for a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on December 23, 2025 and become current on December 23, 2024. On the Effective Date, the Company paid all amounts owing under the Existing Credit Agreement and terminated all lending commitments thereunder.
The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured, multicurrency revolving credit facility with a term of five years from the Effective Date. Initially, the aggregate commitment of all lenders under the Credit Agreement will be $5.0 billion, of which up to $150 million will be available for the issuance of letters of credit and up to $150 million will be available for the borrowing of swingline loans.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow revolving loans at any time during the term of the facility. Loans and letters of credit under the facility will be available, at the Company's option, in Dollars, Sterling and Euros or any other currency approved in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, in the case of borrowings in Dollars, at the Company's option, the alternate base rate or the secured overnight financing rate, and in the case of borrowings in other currencies, the benchmark rate specified for such currency in the Credit Agreement, in each case, plus an applicable margin determined based on the Company's credit ratings. In addition, the Company will pay to the lenders certain customary fees, including a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the facility, at a rate determined based on the Company's credit ratings.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes.
Voluntary prepayments of loans and voluntary reductions of unused commitments under the Credit Agreement are permissible without penalty (other than customary interest breakage charges), subject to certain notice requirements and minimum amounts.
The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for unsecured financings of this type.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
Certain of the financial institutions party to the Credit Agreement and/or their affiliates have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending and/or commercial banking services, or other services for the Company and its subsidiaries, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and expense reimbursement.
