USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (NASDAQ:USAT) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 31, 2017, USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), and Visa U.S.A. Inc. (the “Network”), entered into a new three-year agreement (the “Agreement”) effectiveas of July 1, 2017, which replaced the agreement that had previously been entered into between them.

Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Network has agreed to continue to make available to the Company promotional interchange reimbursement fees for small ticket debit and credit card transactions in the unattended beverage and food vending merchant category code, as well as for small ticket regulated debit card transactions in the other unattended vending and/or retail merchant category codes covered by the Agreement. The Agreement enables the Company to avoid paying significantly higher interchange fees for small ticket regulated debit card transactions that the Network has been charging since the promulgation of regulations to the so-called Durbin Amendment to the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The promotional interchange reimbursement fees provided by the Agreement will allow the Company to continue to accept the Network’s debit card products in the merchant category codes covered by the Agreement without adversely impacting the Company or its customers. During the term of the Agreement, the Company does not anticipate accepting any debit and/or credit cards in the merchant category codes with interchange reimbursement fees higher than the promotional rates provided under the Agreement.
