Summary
McKesson Corporation (MCK) filed an 8-K on February 4, 2014, reporting on material definitive agreements. Specifically, on January 30, 2014, the company entered into two key amendments to its existing financing arrangements. These amendments were made to reflect and give effect to the terms of a new Senior Bridge Term Loan Agreement dated January 23, 2014. The first amendment (Second Credit Agreement Amendment) pertains to their syndicated $1.3 billion five-year senior unsecured Credit Agreement. The second amendment (Receivables Purchase Agreement Amendment) relates to their Fourth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement.
