Receivables Purchase Agreement financial
"with respect to the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2012"
A receivables purchase agreement is a contract where a company sells its outstanding invoices or amounts owed by customers to a buyer in exchange for immediate cash, usually at a discount. Investors care because it improves a company’s short‑term cash flow and can change reported assets, liabilities and risk exposure—like selling IOUs to get money now instead of waiting, which affects liquidity and the firm’s financial picture.
Amended A/R Facility financial
"the expiration date of the facility (as amended, the “Amended A/R Facility”) was extended until June 18, 2027"
performance undertaking financial
"the Company confirmed its performance undertaking originally given in May 2005"
change of control financial
"subject to standard termination events including, without limitation, a change of control of the Company or URNA"
A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.

FAQ
What did United Rentals (URI) announce in this Form 8-K?
United Rentals reported Amendment No. 18 to its Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement. The change extends its accounts receivable securitization facility while keeping its core structure, collateralization by receivables, and key covenant framework in place.
How long is United Rentals’ amended A/R facility now in place?
The amended accounts receivable facility now runs until June 18, 2027. It may also be further extended on a 364-day basis if United Rentals and the purchasers under the facility mutually agree to continue the arrangement beyond that date.
How does the United Rentals Amended A/R Facility operate?
Advances under the Amended A/R Facility are allowed only when the face amount of eligible receivables exceeds outstanding loans by a specified amount. The receivables in the collateral pool remain the lenders’ only source of repayment under this structure.
What happens if the Amended A/R Facility is terminated early?
If the facility terminates early, no new amounts can be advanced. Collections from receivables securing the facility must then be applied to repay outstanding advances, effectively winding down the securitization using incoming customer payments.
What events could trigger termination of United Rentals’ Amended A/R Facility?
The facility can be terminated for standard events, including a change of control of United Rentals or URNA, failure to make payments, breaches of delinquency, dilution or days sales outstanding covenants, or a breach of the financial ratio covenant under URNA’s credit facility.
