Summary

Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG) has filed an 8-K detailing a First Amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Term Credit Agreement, effective January 8, 2021. The primary impact for investors is the extension of the maturity date of its term credit facility from January 18, 2023, to January 18, 2026.
