Underwriting

Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement for the offered notes, the issuing entity has agreed to sell to each of the underwriters named below, and each of those underwriters has severally agreed to purchase, the principal amount of the offered notes opposite its name:

 

Underwriters

   Principal Amount  

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

   $ 300,000,000   

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC

     300,000,000   

RBS Securities Inc.

     300,000,000   
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 900,000,000   
  

 

 

 

The several underwriters have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, to purchase all $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the offered notes if any of the offered notes are not purchased.

The underwriters have advised the issuing entity that the several underwriters propose initially to offer the offered notes to the public at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, and to certain dealers at that public offering price less a concession not in excess of 0.16500% of the principal amount of the offered notes. The underwriters may allow, and those dealers may reallow to other dealers, a concession not in excess of 0.08250% of the principal amount.

After the public offering, the public offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriters.

Each underwriter of the offered notes has represented and agreed that:

 

   

it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 with respect to anything done by it in relation to the offered notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and

 

   

it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and it will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any offered notes in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 does not apply to the issuing entity.

In connection with the sale of the offered notes, the underwriters may engage in:

 

   

over-allotments, in which members of the syndicate selling the offered notes sell more notes than the issuing entity actually sold to the syndicate, creating a syndicate short position;

 

   

stabilizing transactions, in which purchases and sales of the offered notes may be made by the members of the selling syndicate at prices that do not exceed a specified maximum;

 

   

syndicate covering transactions, in which members of the selling syndicate purchase the offered notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions; and

 

   

penalty bids, by which the underwriter reclaims a selling concession from a syndicate member when any of the offered notes originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

 

S-2


Table of Contents

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the offered notes to be higher than it would otherwise be. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

The issuing entity and Chase USA will, jointly and severally, indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under applicable securities laws, or contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. The issuing entity’s obligation to indemnify the underwriters will be limited to available finance charge collections after making all required payments and required deposits under the indenture.

The issuing entity will receive proceeds of $897,525,000 from the sale of the offered notes. This amount represents 99.72500% of the principal amount of those notes and is net of the underwriting discount of $2,475,000. The underwriting discount represents 0.27500% of the principal amount of those notes. Deposits will be made to Class C reserve subaccounts for outstanding Class C notes in an aggregate amount of $13,500,000. The issuing entity will pay these proceeds to Chase USA which will use the proceeds as described in “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement. Additional issuance expenses are estimated to be $220,000.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and an affiliate of Chase USA and of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association.

Glossary

This prospectus supplement uses defined terms such as those found below. You can find a listing of defined terms in the “Glossary of Defined Terms” beginning on page 149 in the accompanying prospectus.

“LIBOR” means, as of any LIBOR Determination Date, the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or on such comparable system as is customarily used to quote LIBOR as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that date. If this rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or on a comparable system as is customarily used to quote LIBOR, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by four major banks selected by the beneficiary of the issuing entity at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a one-month period. The indenture trustee will request the principal London office of each of the banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the beneficiary of the issuing entity, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a one-month period.

“LIBOR Determination Date” means (1) December 19, 2012 for the period from and including the issuance date through but excluding January 15, 2013 and (2) for each interest period thereafter, the second London Business Day prior to each interest payment date on which that interest period commences.

“London Business Day” means any Business Day on which dealings in deposits in United States dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.
