Item 1.01.          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Underwriting Agreement

On November 5, 2019, Springleaf Finance Corporation (“SFC,” “we,” “us” or “our”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with OneMain Holdings, Inc., the direct sole shareholder of SFC (“OMH”), as guarantor, and RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale by SFC of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in an underwritten public offering made pursuant to a registration statement and related prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  As further described below, the offering closed on November 7, 2019.

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by each of SFC and OMH.  It also provides for customary indemnification by each of SFC, OMH and the Underwriters against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8‑K and is incorporated herein by reference.

SFC intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include debt repurchases and repayments.

Some of the Underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with OMH, its subsidiaries or affiliates, including SFC.  They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.  Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have entered into, and may in the future enter into, financing arrangements (including offerings of asset-backed notes) in which they act as initial purchaser or serve as lender to OMH, its subsidiaries or affiliates, including SFC.

Supplemental Indenture

On November 7, 2019, SFC issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of December 3, 2014 (the “Base Indenture), among SFC, as issuer, OMH, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 7, 2019 (the “Supplemental Indenture and, together with the Base Indenture, the Indenture), among SFC, OMH and the Trustee, pursuant to which OMH provided a guarantee of the Notes.  The Notes were offered pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement, dated November 5, 2019, to the Prospectus, dated November 7, 2017, filed as part of SFC’s and OMH’s joint Registration Statement on Form S‑3 (Registration No. 333-221391-01) filed with the SEC.  The Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by OMH.

The Notes will mature on November 15, 2029 and bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2020.  The Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our other existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding.  The Notes are guaranteed by our direct parent company, OMH, and will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries, including OneMain Financial Holdings, LLC, or any other party.  The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations, structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries (including OneMain Financial Holdings, LLC), and rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of SFC.

The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at SFC’s option, at any time or from time to time (i) prior to May 15, 2029 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), at a “make-whole” redemption price specified in the Indenture, and (ii) on and after May 15, 2029 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.  The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit SFC’s ability to create liens on assets and restrict SFC’s ability to consolidate, merge or sell its assets.  The Indenture also provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include nonpayment, breach of covenants in the Indenture and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture and Supplemental Indenture (and form of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2029 included therein as Exhibit A), copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.  In connection with the issuance of the Notes, Jack R. Erkilla, Esq., Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Secretary of SFC, and Sidley Austin LLP provided SFC with the legal opinions filed as Exhibits 5.1 and 5.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03.          Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The disclosure provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8‑K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
