Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Amendment to Credit Agreement
On August 9, 2012, Curtiss-Wright Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”), among the Company, and Certain Subsidiaries as Borrowers; the Lenders party thereto; Bank of America N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, and L/C Issuer; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo, N.A., as Syndication Agents; and RBS Citizens N.A., as Documentation Agent.
The Third Amended and Restated Agreement amends the Company’s $425 Million five-year credit facility under the Credit Agreement dated as of August 10, 2007, by extending the maturity date of the facility from August 10, 2012 to August 9, 2017, and increasing the credit facility from $425 Million to $500 Million with an accordion feature to expand to $600 Million. The revised agreement provides for similar financial and debt covenants that are no more restrictive than those in the prior agreement. The Company plans to use the credit line for working capital purposes, internal growth initiatives, funding of possible future acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
The foregoing description of the Third Amended and Restated Agreement does not purport to be complete. For an understanding of the terms and provisions, reference should be made to the Third Amended and Restated Agreement, attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report.
