Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 2, 2016, PRA Group Europe Holding S.à r.l., a Luxembourg subsidiary of PRA Group, Inc. (the “Company”), and its Swiss Branch, PRA Group Europe Holding S.à r.l., Luxemburg, Zug Branch (together the “Borrowers”), along with certain of their affiliates as guarantors, and the lenders party thereto, entered into the Third Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to the Borrowers’ Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility Agreement originally dated as of October 23, 2014 (the “Multicurrency Credit Facility”) . The Third Amendment modifies certain terms of the Multicurrency Credit Facility, including (1) increasing the total commitments from $900 million to an aggregate of $1.2 billion by including a term loan facility of approximately $300 million, (2) replacing the estimated remaining collections ratio covenant with a loan-to-value (“LTV”) covenant of 75%, (3) changing the ratio of gross interest bearing debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as more specifically defined in the Third Amendment) to 3.5:1.0 until March 31, 2017 and 3.25:1.0 thereafter, and (4) revising the applicable margin for the interest payable to 2.80%-3.90% under the revolving facility, and 4.25%-4.50% under the term loan facility, dependent on the LTV ratio. Additional funds advanced pursuant to the Third Amendment will be used primarily for general corporate purposes, including financing portfolio acquisitions.

DNB Bank ASA, Nordea Bank Norge ASA and Swedbank AB (publ) and their respective affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company, the Borrowers or their affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
