Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 20, 2010, Wright Express Corporation (the “Company” or “Wright Express”) entered into an interest rate swap arrangement (the “Swap”) with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”).
The Swap with SunTrust is for a notional amount of $150,000,000, with an effective date of September 22, 2010 and a termination date of March 22, 2012 and a fixed interest rate of 0.56% per annum.
The Swap was designed as a cash flow hedge intended to reduce a portion of the variability of the future interest payments on our credit agreement. The Swap fixes the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate revolving 2007 credit facility.
The variable rate of the Swap is based upon the 1-month USD-LIBOR-BBA with the rate resetting and the Swap settling on the 22nd of each month (or the following business day if the 22nd of the month is not a business day).
