ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE


In accordance with General Instruction B.2. to Form 8-K, the following information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.


On July 30, 2018, Navistar Financial Corporation (“NFC”), an indirect wholly owned finance subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Joinder Agreement to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2016 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among NFC and Navistar Financial, S.A. de C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Multiple, Entidad Regulada, a Mexican corporation, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, pursuant to which NFC borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 under a new seven-year senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan B”).  In connection with the Credit Agreement and the Term Loan B, NFC is providing the lenders thereunder with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis as of October 31, 2018 (the “NFC Financial Statements”), which are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and are incorporated by reference herein.


NFC is not subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and the preparation and filing of this Current Report by the Company shall in no way be interpreted as an undertaking on the part of either the NFC or the Company to have NFC otherwise comply with the reporting requirements and the related rules and regulations of the Exchange Act. The NFC Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and not otherwise in a manner designed to comply with all of the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act that would be applicable to NFC if it was required to file reports under the Exchange Act.

Forward-Looking Statements


Information provided and statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements only speak as of the date of this report and the company assumes no obligation to update the information included in this report. Such forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements often include words such as believe, expect, anticipate, intend, plan, estimate, or similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of performance or results and they involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. For a further description of these factors, see the risk factors set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are many factors that could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. All future written and oral forward-looking statements by us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to above. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, we do not have any obligations or intention to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances in the future or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
