Summary
American Express Company (AXP) filed an 8-K on November 16, 2021, to announce the extension of the early participation date and preliminary results for its ongoing exchange offer. This offer involves issuing new senior notes in exchange for its outstanding 3.300% Senior Notes due May 3, 2027, issued by its subsidiary, American Express Credit Corporation (Credco). The company is also conducting a related consent solicitation for these notes.
