Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 31, 2023, Novelis Inc. (the "Company" or "we") entered into (i) an amendment (the "Term Amendment") to its Credit Agreement (as previously amended and as amended by the Term Amendment, the "Term Facility"), dated as of January 10, 2017, among the Company, Novelis ALR Aluminum Holdings Corporation, as co-borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Standard Chartered Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent and the banks and financial institutions party thereto as lenders and (ii) an amendment (the "ABL Amendment" and together with the Term Amendment, the "Amendments") to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as previously amended and as amended by the ABL Amendment, the "ABL Facility"), dated as of October 6, 2014, among the Company and subsidiary borrowers party thereto, the guarantors party thereto, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders and issuing banks party thereto.
The Term Amendment changes the reference rate used to determine interest from a London Inter-Bank Offered Rate to a Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Term loans under the Term Facility will, beginning with the interest period commencing June 30, 2023, accrue interest at SOFR plus a 0.15% credit spread adjustment plus a spread of 1.75% in the case of the term loans maturing January 2025 or a spread of 2.00% in the case of the term loans maturing March 2028. The Term Amendment also makes other changes to provide us with additional flexibility to operate our business and enter into various transactions.
The ABL Amendment makes certain changes to the ABL Facility to provide us with additional flexibility to operate our business and enter into various transactions, as similarly contemplated by the Term Amendment.
The foregoing description of the Amendments is a general description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each Amendment, which the Company plans to file as exhibits to its next annual report on Form 10-K.
Item 2.03    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
