Cardinal Health entered into an amended and restated five-year credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent, joint lead arranger and joint book manager.

Bank of America served as syndication agent and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ served as syndication agent, joint lead arranger and joint book manager. Barclays, Deutsche Bank Securities, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding and Wells Fargo were documentation agents. Merrill Lynch and Pierce, Fenner & Smith served as joint lead arranger and joint book manager.

The agreement, among other things, extended the term of the revolving credit facility to June 16, 2021, increased the revolving credit available to the company to $1.75 billion and removed the company’s obligation to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio.

This revolving credit facility backs the company’s existing commercial paper program and may be used for general corporate purposes.
