On March 24, 2015, AAR CORP. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its credit agreement dated April 12, 2011, as amended, with various financial institutions, as lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders (the “Credit Agreement”).

 

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Amendment, the aggregate revolving credit commitment amount under the Credit Agreement was $475 million.  The Amendment increases the above-referenced $475 million to $500 million, and generally reduces the interest rate on borrowings by 0.25 percent.  Under certain circumstances, the Company also could request an increase to the revolving commitment by an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, not to exceed $750 million in total.

 

The Amendment also extends the maturity of the Credit Agreement by approximately two years to March 24, 2020.  The Amendment also deleted the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and added a minimum interest coverage ratio.  Except as specifically amended and modified by the Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in effect.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the Credit Agreement.  A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference .
