Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 28, 2015, NIKE, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Citibank N.A., as Syndication Agent, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents, and the other Banks named therein (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for up to $2.0 billion of borrowings pursuant to a revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility provided in the Credit Agreement matures in July 2020, with a one year extension option prior to any anniversary of the closing date, provided that in no event shall it extend beyond August 28, 2022. This facility replaces the $1.0 billion Prior Credit Agreement (as defined in Item 1.02 below) entered into on November 1, 2011.

The description of the Credit Agreement is qualified by its entirety by the copy thereof which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.


Item 1.02 Termination of Material Definitive Agreement

On August 28, 2015, concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Credit Agreement described in Item 1.01 hereof, the Company terminated the Credit Agreement dated November 1, 2011, as amended, that provided for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, expandable to $1.5 billion, with the banks, financial institutions and other lenders signatory thereto (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). No amounts were outstanding under this facility as of August 28, 2015. The Prior Credit Agreement would have expired in November 2017.
