Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd./CN (CP) filed an 8-K on June 11, 2018, to report an amendment to its existing credit agreement. The primary change, documented in the Fifth Amending Agreement dated June 8, 2018, is the extension of the '5 Year Maturity Date' for its credit facility from June 28, 2022, to June 28, 2023. This amendment was entered into by Canadian Pacific Railway Company (CPRC), a subsidiary, and the Registrant (CP).
