Material Agreement (Form 8-K)
| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Effective as of April 22, 2026, Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. ("CME") entered into an amendment ("Amendment No. 11") to its 364-day multi-currency credit facility (the "364-Day Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as Collateral Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent, and the banks party thereto. The 364-Day Credit Facility as amended by Amendment No. 11 is referred to as the "Existing 364-Day Credit Facility."
The Existing 364-Day Credit Facility is for a multi-currency revolving secured credit facility of $7 billion (which is eligible to be increased to $10 billion). The proceeds of the Existing 364-Day Credit Facility may be used to provide temporary liquidity in the unlikely event a clearing firm fails to promptly discharge an obligation to the clearing house operated by CME, in the event of a liquidity constraint or default by a depositary (custodian for our collateral), in the event of a temporary disruption with the domestic payments system that would delay payment of settlement variation between CME and its clearing firms, or in other cases as provided by the CME rulebook. Clearing firm guaranty fund contributions received in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury securities as well as the performance bond assets (pursuant to the CME rulebook) can be used to collateralize the facility. The Existing 364-Day Credit Facility contains a requirement that CME remain in compliance with a consolidated tangible net worth test.
The foregoing description of the Existing 364-Day Credit Facility is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the complete text of the Existing 364-Day Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
