NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

CNH Industrial Capital LLC and its primary operating subsidiaries, including New Holland Credit Company, LLC (“New Holland Credit”), CNH Industrial Capital America LLC (“CNH Industrial Capital America”) and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. (“CNH Industrial Capital Canada”) (collectively, “CNH Industrial Capital” or the “Company”), are each a subsidiary of CNH Industrial America LLC (“CNH Industrial America”), which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNHI” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CNH Industrial”). CNH Industrial America and CNH Industrial Canada Ltd. (collectively, “CNH Industrial North America”) design, manufacture, and sell agricultural and construction equipment. CNH Industrial Capital provides financial services for CNH Industrial North America dealers and end-use customers primarily located in the United States and Canada.

CNHI is incorporated in and under the laws of The Netherlands. CNHI has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and its principal office in London, England. The common shares of CNHI are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CNHI,” as well as on the Mercato Telematico Azionario managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

In October 2014, CNH Industrial Capital closed on a series of agreements with Citibank, N.A. and certain affiliates of Citibank, N.A. (together, “Citi”), pursuant to which Citi acquired CNH Industrial Capital’s portfolio of commercial revolving accounts (“CRA”) receivables. Pursuant to these agreements, Citi offers a private-label CRA product through CNH Industrial dealers in North America.

To support CNH Industrial North America’s sales of agricultural and construction equipment products, the Company offers retail financing to end-use customers and wholesale financing to CNH Industrial North America equipment dealers, all of which are independently owned. Wholesale financing consists primarily of dealer floorplan financing and allows dealers the ability to maintain a representative inventory of products. In addition, the Company provides financing to dealers for equipment used in dealer-owned rental yards, parts inventory, working capital, and other financing needs. The Company provides and administers retail financing, primarily retail installment sales contracts, finance leases and operating leases to end-use customers for the purchase or lease of new and used CNH Industrial North America equipment and other agricultural and construction equipment sold primarily through CNH Industrial North America dealers and distributors. In addition, the Company purchases equipment from dealers that is leased to retail customers under operating lease agreements. Customers also use CRA products to purchase parts, service, rentals, implements, and attachments from CNH Industrial North America dealers. The Company also finances a variety of insurance and other products for end users and dealers in conjunction with the purchase of new and used equipment. As a captive finance company, the Company is reliant on the operations of CNH Industrial North America, its dealers and end-use customers.
