(“SCFC”) terminated the $500,000,000 Second Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2015, as amended, by and among SCFC, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Swingline Lender and Agent, Bank of America, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Co-Syndication Agents, Branch Banking and Trust Company, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mizuho Bank, LTD., MUFG Union Bank, N.A., TD Bank, N.A. and UBS Securities LLC, as Documentation Agent, and the lenders identified therein (the “Credit Agreement”), effective February 8, 2019. The Credit Agreement was available to SCFC to be used for general corporate purposes.
