Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 22, 2011, Chemtura Corporation (“Chemtura” or the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") to the senior secured revolving facility credit agreement (the “Senior Asset Based Facility Agreement”), among Chemtura and certain of its subsidiaries named therein, as borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Administrative Agent”), the other agents party thereto and the Lenders party thereto. Amendment No. 1 permits Chemtura to amend the existing term loan facilities (and refinance those facilities in connection with such an amendment) to provide for principal amortization not exceeding 1% of the total principal amount of the term loan facilities (such percentage calculated as of the date of any such amendment to the term loan facilities). Amendment No. 1 also clarifies that Chemtura may, in connection with an otherwise permitted amendment to the existing term loan facilities that refinances those facilities, increase the term loan facilities up to the maximum amount permitted under the debt incurrence covenant contained in the Senior Asset Based Facility Agreement. The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 1 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Amendment No. 1, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
