Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 3, 2017, Platform Specialty Products Corporation ("Platform"), MacDermid, Incorporated ("MacDermid"), MacDermid Agricultural Solutions Holdings B.V., Netherlands Agricultural Investment Partners LLC, MacDermid European Holdings B.V., MacDermid Funding LLC and certain other subsidiaries of Platform, entered into and closed the transactions contemplated by an amendment ("Amendment No. 8") to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2014, as amended on October 1, 2014, November 3, 2014, February 13, 2015, December 3, 2015, October 14, 2016, December 6, 2016 and April 18, 2017 by and among, inter alios, Platform, MacDermid, MacDermid Holdings, LLC and certain subsidiaries of Platform from time to time parties thereto, the lenders from time to time parties thereto and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). Amendment No. 8 provided for the refinancing of existing tranche B-5 term loans denominated in U.S. dollars of $605 million and tranche C-4 term loans denominated in euros of €693 million (collectively, the "Existing Term Loans") by creating (i) a new tranche of term loans denominated in U.S. dollars in an aggregate principal amount of $680 million (the "Tranche B-7 Term Loans") and (ii) a new tranche of term loans denominated in euros in an aggregate principal amount of €630 million (the "Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loans," and together with the Tranche B-7 Term Loans, the "New Term Loans"). The Existing Term Loans were created in connection with Platform's repricing closed on December 6, 2016.
Concurrently with the creation of the New Term Loans, the proceeds of the $680 million of Tranche B-7 Term Loans and the €630 million of Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loans were used to prepay in full the Existing Term Loans. The Tranche B-7 Term Loans bear interest at 2.50% per annum, plus an applicable eurocurrency rate, or 1.50% plus an applicable base rate, calculated as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loans bear interest at 2.50% per annum, plus an applicable eurocurrency rate, calculated as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loans' EURIBOR floor was reduced from 1.0% to 0.75%. The maturity date of the New Term Loans is the same as the Existing Term Loans' maturity date, June 7, 2020.
Except as set forth in Amendment No. 8 and above, (i) the Tranche B-7 Term Loans have identical terms as the existing U.S. dollar denominated tranche B-6 term loans and (ii) the Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loans have identical terms as the existing euro denominated tranche C-5 term loans and, in each case, are otherwise subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
