Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 17, 2018, Park National Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, made and entered into as of May 17, 2018 (the "Amendment"), with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"). This Amendment extends the maturity date under the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2016 (as previously amended the “Credit Agreement”), between the Company and U.S. Bank to August 16, 2018.
Any loan under the Credit Agreement will generally continue to bear interest at a rate equal to 2.00% plus the greater of (a) zero percent (0.00%) and (b) the one-month LIBOR rate in effect two New York Banking Days (as defined in the Credit Agreement) prior to the first day of each calendar month, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation, with such rate being rounded up to the nearest 1/16% and reset monthly on the first day of the month. Pursuant to the Amendment, if U.S. Bank determines that (A) the interest rate applicable to the loans is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining the loans and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (B) ICE Benchmark Administration (or any person that takes over the administration of such rate) discontinues its administration and publication of interest settlement rates for deposits in Dollars, or (C) the supervisor for the administrator of such interest settlement rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over U.S. Bank has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such interest settlement rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then U.S. Bank is to determine an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR rate described above that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for comparable bank-originated commercial loans in the United States at such time. Such alternate rate is to be adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation. If an alternate rate of interest is to be determined by U.S. Bank, until such alternate rate of interest is determined, interest on each loan under the Credit Agreement will accrue at the Prime Rate (as defined in the Amendment) plus 2.00%.
Other than the extension of the maturity date and the provision for the determination of an alternate rate in the event the LIBOR rate is no longer used for determining interest rates for loans under the Credit Agreement, each in accordance with the terms of the 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 Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2016.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
