On April 17, 2024, Cencora, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Omnibus Amendment (the “Omnibus Amendment”) with MUFG Bank, Ltd., as administrator, and the purchaser agents and purchasers party thereto, constituting (i) the Twentieth Amendment to Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Twentieth RPA Amendment”) among Amerisource Receivables Financial Corporation (“ARFC”), as seller, AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (“ABDC”), as servicer, the purchaser agents and purchasers party thereto, and MUFG Bank, Ltd., as administrator, (ii) the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement (the “Second RSA Amendment”) among ARFC, as buyer, and ABDC and ASD Specialty Healthcare, LLC (“ASD”), as originators, and (iii) the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Performance Undertaking (the “Performance Undertaking Amendment”) made by the Company, as performance guarantor, in favor of ARFC, as buyer.
The Twentieth RPA Amendment:
· | Extended the scheduled facility termination date from October 21, 2025 to October 21, 2026; |
· | Added U.S. Bank National Association and Truist Bank as committed purchasers, uncommitted purchasers, and purchaser agents, and removed Mizuho Bank, Ltd, as a committed purchaser, uncommitted purchaser, and purchaser agent; |
· | Added certain representations and warranties regarding compliance with laws and agreements; and |

The securitization facility is available to provide additional liquidity and funding for the ongoing business needs of the Company and its subsidiaries. Availability under the securitization facility is based on the accounts receivables originated by ABDC and ASD from the sale of pharmaceuticals and other related services. Pursuant to the securitization facility, ABDC and ASD sells their accounts receivables to ARFC. ARFC may sell interests in the accounts receivables purchased from ABDC to the various purchaser groups party to the securitization facility, paying program fees on the amount of receivables interests purchased under the facility. The securitization facility has a base limit of US$1,450,000,000, with an option to increase the commitments of the participating banks, subject to their approval, by an additional US$250,000,000 for seasonal needs during the December and March quarters. The Company serves as the performance guarantor of ABDC’s obligations as originator and servicer under the securitization facility.
The foregoing summary of the Omnibus Amendment, including those agreements constituting such amendment, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
