ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On February 17, 2012, Intuit Inc. (“Intuit”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a new five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million by and among Intuit, the Lenders parties thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), as administrative agent, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents for the Lenders, and Union Bank, N.A., as documentation agent. The Credit Agreement replaces Intuit’s $500 million Five Year Credit Agreement, entered into on March 22, 2007, which was due to expire on March 22, 2012 and was terminated as of February 17, 2012.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) that will expire on February 17, 2017. Borrowings under the Facility will accrue interest at rates equal, at Intuit’s election, to JPMCB’s alternate base rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 0.00% to 0.50% or to the adjusted London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin that ranges from 0.90% to 1.50%, in each case with the applicable margin based on Intuit’s senior debt credit ratings as published by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Intuit will also pay an annual commitment fee during the term of the Credit Agreement which may vary depending on its senior debt credit ratings. Up to $100 million of the Facility is available to Intuit in specified foreign currencies.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. Negative covenants include, among others, limitations on incurrence of indebtedness by Intuit’s subsidiaries and limitations on incurrence of liens. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that Intuit maintain a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00, and a ratio of consolidated annual EBITDA to interest payable of not less than 3.00 to 1.00.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.

Intuit will use amounts borrowed under the Facility for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions. Intuit is not borrowing under the Facility at this time, but may borrow under the Facility from time to time as opportunities and needs arise.

Some of the Lenders and their affiliates have various relationships with Intuit and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, commercial banking, investment banking or other services.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, which will be filed with Intuit’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2012.
