(the "Company") entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated December 8, 2016 (the "U.S. Purchase Agreement"), with the note purchasers listed on the signature pages thereto, pursuant to which the Company will issue and sell $125 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's senior notes in two series. Subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the funding date will be February 15, 2017 for $25 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.03% Senior Notes, Series A, due February 15, 2022, and $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.74% Senior Notes, Series B, due February 15, 2027 (together, the "U.S. Senior Notes").
On December 8, 2016, Littelfuse Netherland C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Littelfuse Netherland," and together with the Company, the "Companies"), and the Company, as guarantor, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated December 8, 2016 (the "Cross Border Purchase Agreement," and together with the U.S. Purchase Agreement, the "Purchase Agreements"),with the noteholders listed on the signature pages thereto, pursuant to which Littelfuse Netherland issued and sold €212 million aggregate principal amount of Littelfuse Netherland's senior notes in two series. The funding date for the Cross Border Senior Notes occurred on December 8, 2016 for €117 million in aggregate amount of 1.14% Senior Notes, Series A, due December 8, 2023, and €95 million in aggregate amount of 1.14% Senior Notes, Series B due December 8, 2028 (together, the "Cross Border Senior Notes," and together with the U.S. Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes").
The Senior Notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors in the United States in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Senior Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or applicable exemptions from these registration requirements.
Interest Rate
Interest on the U.S. Senior Notes will be payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15, commencing August 15, 2017. Interest on the Cross Border Senior Notes is payable semiannually on June 8 and December 8, commencing June 8, 2017.

Certain Covenants and Events of Defaults
The Senior Notes are subject to certain customary covenants, including limitations on the Companies' and their subsidiaries' ability, with certain exceptions, to engage in mergers, consolidations, asset sales and transactions with affiliates, to engage in any business that would substantially change the general business of the Companies and their subsidiaries, and to incur liens. The Purchase Agreements also contain financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.5 to 1.0 (4.0 to 1.0 for four consecutive fiscal quarters immediately following certain acquisitions) and an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.5 to 1.0 for any fiscal quarter, and limit the Company from permitting its priority debt to exceed 25% of its consolidated total assets for any fiscal quarter. If the consolidated leverage ratio exceeds 3.5 to 1.0 as described above, the interest rate on the Senior Notes will be increased by 0.75% until such time that the consolidated leverage ratio is again less than 3.5 to 1.0.
The Note Purchase Agreements contain customary events of default, including payment defaults, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, breaches of covenants, certain final judgments for payment and bankruptcy events. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, all of the Senior Notes will be immediately due and payable, and upon the occurrence of certain other events of default, all of the Senior Notes may be declared immediately due and payable.
Prepayments
The Companies may redeem the Senior Notes upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and the payment of a make-whole amount to noteholders, and are required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at par following certain events, including a change of control.
