Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On April 16, 2019, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it will restructure its field operations to better serve its dealer partners, by streamlining the Company’s field office structure and investing in new technology. Over the next two years, the Company will consolidate the field operations currently located at its 29 dealer sales and services offices, three regional management offices and two dealer funding teams into three new regional dealer service centers located in Chandler, Arizona (serving the West region), Plano, Texas (serving the Central region) and Atlanta, Georgia (serving the East region). The dealer lending function will be centralized at the new dealer service center located in Plano, Texas.

 

We note that there are uncertainties related to the restructuring of the field operations. The Company can give no assurance that the restructuring will be completed as planned or within the expected timing.  In addition, the restructuring may involve significant cost to the Company and expected benefits may not be fully realized due to associated disruption to field operations and personnel.
