NEWS RELEASE
NCR CORPORATION AND NCR ATLEOS, LLC ANNOUNCE
OFFERING OF SENIOR SECURED NOTES
Notes to be obligations of NCR Atleos following consummation of NCR’s previously announced Spin-Off of its
ATM-focused businesses
ATLANTA – September 18, 2023 – NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) (“NCR”) and NCR Atleos, LLC (“NCR Atleos”) announced today the intention of their wholly-owned subsidiary, NCR ATM Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuer”), to offer, subject to market and customary conditions, $1,050 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). The Notes are being offered in connection with NCR’s previously announced plan to separate into two independent companies (the “Spin-Off”): NCR Voyix, which will focus on digital commerce, including NCR’s Retail, Hospitality and Digital Banking businesses, and NCR Atleos, which will hold NCR’s ATM-focused businesses, including NCR’s Self-Service Banking, Payments & Network and Telecommunications and Technology businesses.
Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Escrow Issuer will merge with and into NCR Atleos, with NCR Atleos continuing as the surviving entity, and NCR Atleos will assume all of the Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the Notes, the related indenture and other applicable documents. Upon consummation of the Spin-Off, the Notes will be jointly and severally and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of NCR Atleos’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) that will also guarantee its new senior secured credit facilities. Upon consummation of the Spin-Off, the Notes and related guarantees will be secured, subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions, by first-priority liens on all of NCR Atleos’s and the Guarantors’ assets securing NCR Atleos’s new senior secured credit facilities.
The closing of this offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Spin-Off. The gross proceeds of the offering will be held in escrow pending consummation of the Spin-Off. The Spin-Off is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023, although there can be no assurance that such closing will not be delayed or will occur at all. If the Spin-Off is not consummated on or prior to the earlier of December 31, 2023 and the date on which NCR Atleos or the Escrow Issuer notifies the escrow agent that NCR Atleos has determined that the Spin-Off will not be consummated, then the Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption.
NCR Atleos intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with borrowings under its new senior secured credit facilities and/or cash on hand, (i) to finance the payment of a cash distribution to NCR, which NCR intends to use to repay a portion of its existing indebtedness, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Spin-Off (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses with respect to the foregoing financing arrangements) and (iii) for general corporate purposes.
The Notes and the related guarantees will be 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 guarantees 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.
