Notes to be obligations of NCR Atleos
following consummation of NCR’s previously announced Spin-Off of
its ATM-focused businesses
NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) (“NCR”) and NCR Atleos, LLC (“NCR
Atleos”) announced today that their wholly-owned subsidiary, NCR
Atleos Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuer”), priced an offering
of $1,350 million aggregate principal amount of 9.500% senior
secured notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) at a price of 98.750% of the
principal amount of the Notes. The aggregate principal amount of
the Notes to be issued in the offering was increased to $1,350
million from the previously announced $1,050 million. The maturity
of the Notes was shortened to five and a half years from the
previously announced seven year maturity. The Notes are being
offered in connection with NCR’s previously announced plan to
separate into two independent companies (the “Spin-Off”): NCR
Voyix, which will focus on digital commerce, including NCR’s
Retail, Restaurant and Digital Banking businesses, and NCR Atleos,
which will hold NCR’s ATM-focused businesses, including NCR’s
Self-Service Banking, Payments & Network and Telecommunications
and Technology businesses.
Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the
Spin-Off, the Escrow Issuer will merge with and into NCR Atleos,
with NCR Atleos continuing as the surviving entity, and NCR Atleos
will assume all of the Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the Notes,
the related indenture and other applicable documents. Upon
consummation of the Spin-Off, the Notes will be jointly and
severally and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis
by certain of NCR Atleos’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”)
that will also guarantee its new senior secured credit facilities.
Upon consummation of the Spin-Off, the Notes and related guarantees
will be secured, subject to permitted liens and certain other
exceptions, by first-priority liens on all of NCR Atleos’s and the
Guarantors’ assets securing NCR Atleos’s new senior secured credit
facilities.
The offering is expected to close on September 27, 2023 (the
“Closing Date”), subject to customary closing conditions. The
closing of this offering is not conditioned on the closing of the
Spin-Off. The gross proceeds of the offering will be held in escrow
pending consummation of the Spin-Off. The Spin-Off is currently
expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023, although there can
be no assurance that such closing will not be delayed or will occur
at all. If the Spin-Off is not consummated on or prior to the
earlier of December 31, 2023 and the date on which NCR Atleos or
the Escrow Issuer notifies the escrow agent that NCR Atleos has
determined that the Spin-Off will not be consummated, then the
Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption.
In connection with the Spin-Off, NCR Atleos and the Escrow
Issuer expect to enter into a credit agreement providing up to
$2,085 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness in the
form of senior secured credit facilities, including a five and a
half-year term loan “B” facility in the aggregate principal amount
of $750 million (the “Senior Secured Term Loan B”). The borrowings
under the Senior Secured Term Loan B are expected to be placed into
escrow on or about the Closing Date and released from escrow upon
the consummation of the Spin Off.
NCR Atleos intends to use the net proceeds from the offering,
together with borrowings under its new senior secured credit
facilities (including the borrowings under the Senior Secured Term
Loan B) and/or cash on hand, (i) to finance the payment of a cash
distribution to NCR, which NCR intends to use to repay a portion of
its existing indebtedness, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to
the Spin-Off (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses
with respect to the foregoing financing arrangements) and (iii) for
general corporate purposes.
The Notes and the related guarantees were offered in the United
States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under
the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not
been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or
sold in the United States without registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of
Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
