Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 18, 2014, the Registrant, its wholly owned subsidiaries Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc. and Innophos, Inc., as Subsidiary Borrowers, and its wholly owned subsidiaries AMT Labs, Inc., Kelatron Corporation, Woody IV, LLC, Triarco Industries, LLC and Chelated Minerals International, LLC, as Guarantors (each a "Company" and collectively, the "Companies"), entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") with a group of lenders (collectively, the "Lenders") including Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent.  The Amendment amends that certain Amendment and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2012 (as amended by the Amendment, the "Credit Agreement"), between the Companies and the Lenders.
The Amendment deletes the requirement that Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) be deducted from the Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of determining the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).  The Amendment provides  the Companies with additional flexibility to make certain Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement), including
the repurchase by the Registrant of its stock, provided that the Companies satisfy certain financial requirements.  These requirements include, after giving effect to Restricted Payments in question: (a) maintenance of
the following consolidated ratios (all as defined and calculated according to the Credit Agreement): (i) Total Leverage Ratio less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00; (ii) Senior Leverage Ratio less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00; and (iii) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00; and (b)
Accessible Borrowing Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $25 million
.
As of the close of the last reporting period under the Credit Agreement (September 30, 2014), the Registrant's Total Leverage Ratio, Senior Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement were  0.91, 0.91 and 3.74 to 1.00, respectively, and, at the date of entering into the Amendment, the Accessible Borrowing Availability was approximately $188 million.
The above summary description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in response to this item.
