Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 4, 2021, LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its wholly owned subsidiary, LPL Holdings, Inc. (“LPL Holdings”), intended to offer $900 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the “senior notes”), and intended to increase the size of its revolving credit facility from $750 million to $1,000 million and to extend the maturity date of the facility from 2024 to 2026 (the “credit agreement amendment”). Also on March 4, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the senior notes offering and that it had secured commitments for the credit agreement amendment. Copies of such press releases are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On March 4, 2021, LPL Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a purchase agreement with the representatives of the initial purchasers named therein relating to the senior notes offering. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, LPL Holdings will issue and sell $900 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2029 bearing interest at a rate of 4.00% at an issue price of 100% of their aggregate principal amount.
