Material Agreement Form 8 K

Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 25, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), The Western Union Company ("Western Union") entered into a delayed draw term loan credit agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement") providing for an unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $800,000,000 with a syndicate of lenders, U.S. Bank National Association and Bank of China, Chicago Branch, as Syndication Agents, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, New York Branch and State Bank of India, New York Branch, as Documentation Agents, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the banks thereunder.

The Term Loan Agreement provides for an $800,000,000 unsecured delayed draw term loan facility, which permits Western Union to draw term loans from and including the Closing Date to and including December 15, 2024. In addition, at any time after the Closing Date, Western Union has the option to increase the commitments under the Term Loan Agreement by an amount such that the commitments do not exceed $1,000,000,000 in the aggregate (after giving effect to any such increases). Any such increases would be subject to obtaining additional commitments from existing or new banks under the Term Loan Agreement. To the extent any such increased commitments are obtained after the Closing Date, they must be funded in full at the time of the new commitment. The proceeds of the term loans may be used by Western Union to provide for general corporate requirements of Western Union and its subsidiaries, including refinancing of debt and to pay any fees and expenses in connection with the Term Loan Agreement and other related loan documents. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations, covenants and events of default, including certain covenants that limit or restrict Western Union's ability to sell or transfer assets or enter into a merger or consolidate with another company, grant certain types of security interests, incur certain types of liens, impose restrictions on subsidiary dividends, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, incur certain subsidiary level indebtedness or use proceeds in violation of anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws, subject to certain exceptions. Western Union is also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated interest coverage ratio covenant. Interest due in respect of term loans under the Term Loan Agreement is payable according to the terms of that borrowing. Generally, interest under the Term loan Agreement is calculated using either (i) Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), plus an interest rate margin determined on a sliding scale from 1.000% to 1.625% based on the Rating (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) of the Company (currently 1.250%) or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus a margin determined on a sliding scale from 0.000% to 0.625%) based on the Rating of the Company (currently 0.250%). A ticking fee on the total amount of the unused commitments of the facility is also payable quarterly and such ticking fee is determined on a sliding scale from 0.080% to 0.200% based on the Rating of the Company (currently 0.110%). The final maturity date of the Term Loan Agreement is the third anniversary of the initial funding date.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Term Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith and incorporated by reference.
