Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 2, 2015, Novelis Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Refinancing Amendment Agreement (the "Amendment") to its Term Loan Facility (the "Term Loan Facility") dated as of December 17, 2010, as amended, 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.
The Amendment increases the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility from $1.73 billion to $1.8 billion and extends the final maturity of the Term Loan Facility from December 17, 2017 to June 2, 2022; provided that, in the event that any series of Company's senior unsecured notes remain outstanding 92 days prior to its maturity date, then the Term Loan Facility will mature on such date, subject to limited exceptions.  The loans under the Term Loan Facility accrue interest at the higher of LIBOR and 0.75% plus a 3.25% spread.
The Amendment eliminates the senior secured net leverage covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum senior secured net leverage ratio.  In addition, certain negative covenants were amended to increase the Company's operational flexibility, including increasing flexibility to enter into working capital financings and incur other debt.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is a general description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which the Company plans to file as an exhibit to its next quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The disclosures required by this Item 2.03 are contained in Item 1.01 above and are incorporated by reference as if fully restated herein.
