Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
As previously disclosed, on January 31, 2017, Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (“the Company”) entered into a credit agreement which provides a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility subject to certain terms and conditions (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, as Borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., Administrative Agent (the “Agent”). The Company may request that the total revolving commitment be increased by an amount not exceeding $250 million during the term of the Credit Agreement. The other material terms of the Credit Agreement, and its amendments, were described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 6, 2017, February 6, 2018 and January 15, 2019.
On March 17, 2020, the Company provided notice to the Agent that the Company would borrow $500 million under the Credit Agreement. The Company borrowed under the Credit Agreement in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the current uncertainty in the global markets. The Company may use the proceeds from the Credit Agreement borrowing for working capital, ongoing operating needs and general corporate purposes.
