Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 23, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (the “Company) and certain of its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Company Group”) entered into a $15 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the “A/R Facility”) with Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale. The Company does not intend to draw on the A/R Facility at this time.

The documentation for the A/R Facility includes (i) Receivables Purchase Agreements (the “Receivables Purchase Agreements”) dated as of the Closing Date, among the Company, as initial servicer, SN Technologies, LLC, a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company (“SN Technologies”), as seller, Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the purchasers party thereto, the group agents party thereto and the originators party thereto; (ii) Purchase and Sale Agreements (the “Purchase and Sale Agreements”) dated as of the Closing Date, between the Company Group, as originators (the “Originators”), and SN Technologies, as purchaser; (iii) the Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) dated as of the Closing Date, between the Company, as servicer, and Finacity Corporation, as administrator; and (iv) the Performance Guaranty (the “Performance Guaranty”) dated as of the Closing Date made by the Company in favor of the Administrative Agent.

Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreements, the Originators will sell existing and future accounts receivable [and related assets] (the “Receivables”) to SN Technologies in exchange for cash and/or subordinated notes. The Originators and SN Technologies intend the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreements to be true sales to SN Technologies by the respective Originators. Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, SN Technologies will in turn grant an undivided security interest to the Administrative Agent in the Receivables in exchange for a credit facility permitting borrowings of up to $15 million outstanding from time to time. Yield is payable to the Administrative Agent under the Receivables Purchase Agreements at a variable rate based on the Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale’s Hanover funding rate plus margin. Pursuant to the Performance Guaranty, the Company guarantees the performance of the Originators of their obligations under the Purchase and Sale Agreements. The Company has not agreed to guarantee any obligations of SN Technologies or the collection of any of the receivables and will not be responsible for any obligations to the extent the failure to perform such obligations by the Company or any Originators results from receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related obligor.

The A/R Facility contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that are customary for financings of this type.

Unless earlier terminated or subsequently extended pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the A/R Facility will expire on June 23, 2025.

The foregoing description of the A/R Facility and the respective transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Receivables Purchase Agreements, Purchase and Sale Agreements, Administration Agreement and Performance Guaranty, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
