Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 12, 2012, Facebook, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated its existing bridge credit facility (the “Amended and Restated Term Loan”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Amended and Restated Term Loan is an unsecured term loan facility that allows the Company to borrow up to $1.5 billion to fund tax withholding and remittance obligations related to the settlement of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. As the Company previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 4, 2012, it plans to fund these tax withholding and remittance obligations by using its existing cash and borrowing from its credit facilities. The Company currently expects to use borrowings under the Amended and Restated Term Loan to cover approximately half of the withholding tax liability that will arise when approximately 271 million RSUs vest in October and November 2012, and that the average of the withholding tax rates will be approximately 45%. Interest under the Amended and Restated Term Loan will be payable on the borrowed amounts set at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.0%.

The Company paid origination fees at closing of the Amended and Restated Term Loan, which fees are being amortized over the term of the facility. The Company is also obligated to pay an additional upfront fee of 0.15% of the aggregate amount of the borrowings requested on any applicable funding date, which would be amortized over the remaining term of the facility, as well as an annual commitment fee of 0.10% on the daily undrawn balance of the facility. The Company may make up to two borrowings under the Amended and Restated Term Loan prior to November 20, 2012. Any amounts outstanding under this facility will be due upon the third anniversary date of the initial borrowing.

In connection with the execution of the Amended and Restated Term Loan, the Company also entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Revolver Amendment”) to its existing $5.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Existing Revolver Facility”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which the lenders to the Existing Revolver Facility consented to the execution of the Amended and Restated Term Loan, and the negative covenants in the Existing Revolver Facility were amended to be consistent with those set forth in the Amended and Restated Term Loan.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amended and Restated Term Loan and the Existing Revolver Facility, as amended by the Revolver Amendment, are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Term Loan and the Existing Revolver Facility, as amended by the Revolver Amendment.
