Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 28, 2021, Lear Corporation (the "Company") entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "A&R Credit Agreement") among the Company, the foreign subsidiary borrowers from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as syndication agents, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The A&R Credit Agreement increases the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility from $1.75 billion to $2.0 billion (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and extends the maturity of such Revolving Credit Facility to October 28, 2026. The Company's $250.0 million unsecured term loan facility remains outstanding with a maturity of August 8, 2022.
The Revolving Credit Facility permits borrowings for general corporate and working capital purposes and the issuance of letters of credit. At the closing of the A&R Credit Agreement, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Company's prior revolving credit facility.
Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest based on the LIBO Rate, EURIBOR Rate, CDOR Rate or SONIA, as applicable, or base rate plus a margin, determined in accordance with a pricing grid, ranging from 0.925% to 1.45% for term benchmark, central bank rate and SONIA loans and 0.00% to 0.45% for base rate and prime rate loans. In addition, a facility fee is payable on the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate, determined in accordance with a pricing grid, ranging from 0.075% to 0.20%.
As of October 28, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the A&R Credit Agreement.
