NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) (the “Company”) announced today the upsizing of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) from $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion. The additional $100 million aggregate principal amount of Notes will be issued at a price of 100.25% of the principal amount of such Notes. The Notes will be general unsecured senior obligations of the Company and will be initially guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, NCR International, Inc., a Delaware corporation. All of the Notes will be issued under the same indenture and will be treated as a single series and will have the same terms.

The Notes are expected to be issued on April 6, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The issuance of the Notes is not conditioned on the closing of the Cardtronics Acquisition which, if completed, will occur subsequent to the issuance of the Notes.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, borrowings under its senior secured credit facilities and its trade receivables securitization facility and/or cash on hand, to finance the consideration payable in connection with the Cardtronics Acquisition, to repay certain indebtedness of Cardtronics and to pay related fees and expenses. The proceeds of the Notes will be held in escrow until satisfaction of the escrow release conditions.

If such escrow release conditions are not satisfied on or prior to the earlier of November 1, 2021 and the date on which the Company notifies the escrow agent and the trustee in writing that the Company has determined that the escrow release conditions will not be satisfied, then $600 million of the principal amount of the Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption. If the Cardtronics Acquisition is not consummated, the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes (after the payment of the special mandatory redemption price) will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantee 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 subsidiary guarantee 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.
