Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 5, 2013, Novelis Inc. (the "Company") entered into Amendment No. 3 (the "Amendment") to its Term Loan Facility (the "Term Loan Facility") dated as of December 17, 2010 among the Company, as borrower, AV Metals Inc., the other guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the interest rate was reduced to the higher of LIBOR and 1.0%, plus a 2.75% spread.  Prior to the Amendment, the interest rate spread ranged from 2.75% to 3.0% depending on the Company's net leverage ratio, as defined in the Term Loan Facility, and was 3.0% at the time of the Amendment, based on the Company's net leverage ratio. In addition, certain negative covenants were amended to increase the Company's operational flexibility, including increased flexibility to make investments in the Company's subsidiaries, permit additional working capital financings and more closely align certain restrictions in the Term Loan Facility with similar covenants in the Company's outstanding senior notes.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is a general description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment.
