As previously reported, on June 4, 2021, Bank provided the Macy’s Companies with notice of termination of the Program Agreement due to the occurrence of an Adverse Sales Development (as defined in the Program Agreement) effective six months from June 7, 2021 (“Termination Notice”).  Pursuant to the Amendment, the Termination Notice was rescinded and the term of the Program Agreement extended until March 31, 2030, with certain revisions as set forth in the Amendment.

 

The Amendment provides that Bank will pay Macy’s a signing bonus, Bank’s right to terminate the Amended Program Agreement due to an Adverse Sales Development is eliminated, certain changes are made to the treatment of program expenses, letter of credit or reserve requirement is added if Macy’s, Inc. corporate credit ratings fall below certain levels, specified systems changes will be implemented and others considered, and profit share tiers are revised, among other revisions to the Program Agreement.
