Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 3, 2020, Omnicom Group Inc. (“Omnicom Group”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Omnicom Capital Inc. (the “Borrower” and, together with Omnicom Group, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a 364-Day Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders named therein (the “Lenders”), Citibank, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and U.S. Bank National Association, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, Bank of America, N.A., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and U.S. Bank National Association, as syndication agents, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of April 2, 2021. Under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders committed to provide advances in an aggregate amount of up to US$400,000,000. Interest on the borrowings under the Credit Agreement is payable at a base rate or Eurocurrency rate, in either case plus an applicable margin and fees. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, to fund acquisitions not prohibited under the Credit Agreement.

The terms of the Credit Agreement include representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including certain financial covenants) and events of default that are customary for credit facilities of this nature. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an event of default, including but not limited to nonpayment of principal when due, nonpayment of interest within five business days after it becomes due, failure to perform or observe certain terms, covenants or agreements under the Credit Agreement, and certain defaults of other indebtedness, the Agent may terminate the obligation of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement to make advances and declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. In addition, in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to either of the Loan Parties under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the obligation of the Lenders to make advances shall automatically terminate and any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement shall immediately become due and payable.

The obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Omnicom Group.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
