Item 8.01 Other Events.

Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (the “Company”) has commenced preparations to launch private label finance services for third-party automotive and mobility companies. In furtherance of this new business initiative, on August 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Financial Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mazda Motor of America, Inc. (“Mazda”) pursuant to which the Company and certain affiliates will offer exclusive private label automotive finance, lease, and wholesale dealer financing products and services, and vehicle protection products and services, to Mazda customers and dealers in the United States, launching at various times through fiscal year 2021 (the “Program”).

The Company’s obligations under the Agreement include the provision of services in the areas of customer service, field sales, customer collections, tax collection and remittance, payment processing, titling, marketing and vehicle remarketing. The Company’s extension of dealer and retail financing and services to Mazda customers and dealers will be provided in accordance with the Company’s applicable credit policies, which may be modified by the Company, from time to time, in its sole discretion. The initial term of the Program extends five years from the date of the last product launch under the Program (currently estimated to be December 31, 2025), and is followed by automatic one-year renewals unless either party provides notice of non-renewal.  The Company intends to leverage its existing servicing platform to provide customer service for the newly originated assets and expects to make certain technology investments to support the Program. The Company will not be acquiring any existing Mazda assets or liabilities pursuant to the Agreement.
